If you want to stay in a place that enjoys a spectacular view of the caldera and the sunset, you would be hard pressed to find a better one than the 360 House. This is an example where the reality surpasses the pictures. To our mind the view of the sunsets was every bit as good as one gets in Oia only without the crowds. When we booked we envisioned spending many hours on the terrace gazing at the view and relaxing. Unfortunately, in early October the cooler temperatures combined with the strong wind shortened our stays outside. Still, we loved what we were able to enjoy. The apartment itself was spacious, airy, and full of light. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped.
The apartment is not in the town of Imerovigli proper. It lies about a kilometer north on the main road between Fira and Oia. One can walk to town on the path along the caldera, but be aware that the walk is uphill all the way, sometimes quite steeply. The road, though busy at times caused us no problems sleeping because the bedroom was on the caldera side, so the house blocked the noise.
We had a car, which was a mixed blessing. It gave us the ability to freely move around the island, but the parking place at the roadside was sometimes difficult to get into because of the traffic. There is a bus stop nearby, but full buses will pass one by, so a bit of patience may be necessary during high use periods.
The taverna next door proved to be a big plus especially on the evening of our arrival when we were too tired to venture very far for our dinner. The food was good and reasonably prices, and we ate there once more during our four night stay.
