George's place is a perfect location for anyone wanting to have a quiet, peaceful experience on the island. It is just a couple of minutes walk to the beach, where you have a few places to eat, a bar, and convenient store. Everything you really need for a relaxing time. Bus is easy to catch to town and runs on the hour.
Monolithos beach is perfect - small, quiet, and unpretentious. Water is beautiful and sand is kept clean.
The apartment was very clean and George went beyond the call of duty by picking me up the airport, driving me to town while I waited on the other guests to leave ( I arrived at 6am). His wife brought me cookies and fruit and juice. His dog is AMAZING. She walked me to the beach and back everyday.
Overall, a perfect place for a couple or single traveler. Away from the bustle of Fira. Private, and you can literally roll down to the beach in the morning for a swim. Highly recommend staying here.
Also, the hotel at the bottom of the hill is great place to grab coffee or a cocktail. They open early and have the friendliest staff. Really everyone in this area is wonderful - you can tell they enjoy being away from Fira and living their own life in the little area of Monolithos.
