The house was a dreamy, perfect Santorini experience. The terrace has a magnificent view of the caldera, sweeping from Oia itself in the east to Thirasia island in the west. It was like living in a post card. We were out there every morning at sunrise for breakfast, and every evening for dinner. It's common in the summer for the Cycladic region to have howling north winds, but the house is protected below the rim of the island, so it was always pleasant. We cooked our own dinner all five nights, because there is no better table on the island. It was such a pleasure to have quick access to the shops and vistas of Oia, but then be able to drop down a couple dozen steps into a quiet neighborhood with space to breathe.
The kitchen was fairly well equipped, better than the other places we stayed in Greece. There is a nice bakery called Fourni on the north side of Oia, and several small supermarkets around Oia each with its particular strengths. Fresh meat and seafood is hard to find on Santorini, but we did fine with frozen squid, mussels, and chicken. The internet connection was reliable and medium fast.
Kostis was helpful in arranging a driver to take us to and from the ferry port, and a couple of porters to help with luggage up and down the steps. Overall it was a great trip, everything we hoped for.
