Lydia was very kind and answered all of our many questions. She arranged our pick up from the airport and the driver brought us up to the house and explained how to use the door.
The apartment was a beautiful traditional Cycladic home and honestly it was more beautiful then we were expecting. It was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. Lydia left us water upon arrival. The small patio space was beautiful! We sat out there every night!
There was also a washing machine which we were able to use. This was unexpected and great to have!
The apartment is in a quaint smaller traditional town about 15 min walk to Fira. It is a quiet area with beautiful walking only streets to explore.
It’s 5 min to a big supermarket. 5 min to bus stop (1.60€ to get to Fira but it’s not worth I would just walk) I believe you can catch the bus from this bus stop to the airport. Once you get to Fira there are busses to everywhere from there. 25 min bus ride to Oia. 25 min bus ride to Akortiri/red beach. The busses were easy to take and understand but very full even in off season.
Thank you! We would recommend to anyone who likes living a little more like a local and out of the centre!
