I think this is the best area to stay in Santorini. We were so happy we picked Nikos’ place in Imerovigli. Imerovigli is right in the thick of things, but is still quiet and peaceful enough to not be overwhelming. Staying in Thira would have been awful due to the crowds and tourism and staying elsewhere on the island would have been too far from the action. We loved being in a more traditional Santorini home. The views are amazing from the patio and front door. Nikos was a great host. He was very responsive and made our trip so much easier by offering good advice and arranging transportation and coming to see us off (making sure the driver arrived and we were in the right place). Thank you Nikos!
