We really enjoyed staying at Lefteris House. The entire family were very friendly and offered tips for places to visit. It is a short walk to Fira where you can get public busses for around $2 each way to anywhere on the island. There is also a closer bus that will take you to the beaches. There is a supermarket and lots of restaurants close by. Oia is about half hour by bus and one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen!!
