This apartment is a great place to stay in Santorini if you aim to avoid the crowds, want a great view and are willing to rent a car. It’s a nice, secluded apartment with a spectacular view of the caldera from the balcony. The location is away from the classic Santorini locations like Fira and Oía that you see in the postcards, but that can also be a benefit: those towns are swarmed with other tourists, including huge daily throngs from the cruise ships. This spot is well located to reach Fira and other parts of the island, if you have a car. It’s not a long ride, but taxis and likely the bus would be complicated. (Though we didn’t try either so I can’t say.) The apartment is on a quiet dirt road, but that connects to a main road with lots of high-speed traffic so it’s not a place you can walk to town from. The apartment itself seems quite new, with a nice bathroom, and plenty of windows and doors that let in lots of natural light and air. Dimitrios was very friendly, and we hardly knew he was there although he and his wife live downstairs. There also seem to be other units nearby but it didn’t appear other people were staying there. Dimitrios left a small bottle of wine, some fruit and other snacks free of charge, which was a very nice tough. We recommend!
