Irene takes her host position very seriously. Upon arrival she greeted us with tall glasses of orange juice. She gave us the choice of having an orientation on the island when we arrived or later after we had rested.
We choose to have it right away. We met her under a shaded dining area or gazebo and outdoor kitchen she has on the property. She joined us with a map and gave us a brief history lesson on the geography of Santorini. She recommended restaurants, beaches, bus schedules and ordered a free shuttle to take us to the grocery store in town.
The last day on the island we had a evening flight out. She gave us access to a small room with a bed and a bathroom to store our luggage and shower after we swam and enjoyed the beach.
She was truly a gracious and loving host. I hope to see her again on Santorini.
