By far the most wonderful Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. Filia is a wonderful host and was helpful with everything from using the villa appliances to finding the nearest bus stop.
The villa is about a 5 minute walk from the nearest bus stop, from there you can go to the main city of Thira or the beach town of Kamari (my personal fav). From Thira you can get to Oía, the airport, or Kamari.
The Airbnb has air conditioning to get through the heat of the summer. Filia gave me water, cookies, bread, butter and jam at the start of my stay which is nice because the nearest market isn’t accessible by walking.
Filia lives in the unit upstairs and is able to help with anything by knocking on her door.
The villa itself is stunning and is located in the cute village of Episkopi Gonias with classic Cycladic homes, narrow walking paths and the classic blue domed orthodox churches. There is a wonderful view from the terrace and even better sea view from the rooftop which is accessible by an outdoor staircase. The roof is perfect for watching the sun rise. There are very adorable village dogs that run around and love to be pet/make friends.
I would highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to have a less touristy stay in an authentic Santorini village.
