We arrived directly from Australia and had arranged with Stamos through Anna, to have our flight met...great idea and made getting to the accommodation a breeze...the houses are gorgeous and away from the madness of Fira...but a pleasant walk if you want to do some shopping and enjoy more views of the caldera. We walked to Oia on the cliff path which was an excellent way to get over jetlag and to see more of the island than just the shops and the crowds. The houses are very comfortable and close enough to the local supermarkets and restaurants to make for a very relaxing few days...and the pool means you can stay cool in the warmer weather!
