I really enjoyed my stay here. It was near the famous black beach and in my opinion, the best on the island.
My room had a continuous banging sound that was going on...I thought it was the neighboring room but this sound continues during the day.
There are maybe 2 English channels on the television but you should be outdoors!
Foreign travelers: BUY AN ADAPTER FOR CHARGING YOUR ELECTRONICS. (2 prong) There are no electronics stores near there to purchase one.
A couple things for foreign travelers:
1. Make sure you get an international driver’s permit; you won’t be able to rent a scooter, 4 wheeler or car without one.
2. The public bus transportation comes every hour, not every 15 like the locals state...even though the bus stop is right up front. The bus stop you take to go into Fira or Oía will not return to the same stop. You’ll have to navigate on your own, and unfortunately I had to do this at night by foot.
3. The Red Beach does not supply towels, you’ll have to purchase one if you plan on visiting this location. It’s extremely rocky and mountainous...bring the right shoes to visit this location.
4. Sometimes the internet fails with the POS systems of the restaurants or stores...bring enough Euros or use the ATM terminals for an extra fee.
