We were met in the village square of Pyrgos by Ilias (Tanya’s husband), and Matilda the donkey (plus her handler) who carried our luggage up to the house at the top of the mountain! What a wonderful start to an adventurous three days in Santorini!!
Ilias showed us around the house, and answered any questions. He and Tanya took care of us for the next three days - arranging transportation, excursions (ATV rentals, a sunset kayak experience, a private catamaran tour, a cocktail making class), and dinner reservations. They were fantastic hosts! Great communication and personal attention!
The house was perfect for the four of us (two couples) with large, comfortable bedrooms both with en-suite bathrooms. We enjoyed a dip in the hot tub and evenings spent watching the sunsets from the upper patios!
Of course, Matilda returned to help carry our luggage back to the square. I’m not sure what we would have done without that sweet donkey!
The 10:00AM check-out meant that we had four plus hours to “kill” before catching our flight, so Tanya arranged for a driver to pick us (& all of our luggage!) up and take us to a wine tasting at ArtSpace vineyard. What a special treat!
Our time in Santorini was a spectacular adventure made possible with Tanya and Ilias’ help.
