We stayed at Pirgos Kallistis for our first time in Santorini and absolutely loved it! Most people stay in the super crowded area of Oia but I much prefer to be away from the crowds. There is a lovely coffee shop and bakery below the mansion and then some restaurants and a soulvaki stop conveniently located around the corner. I would recommend renting a car for your stay as the beaches are only a short drive away. Oía is about 30 minutes drive by car, and you can stop along the way in Imerovigli as well. Alex was a great communicator and even helped us with dinner reservations. We cannot wait to come back!
