A typical vacation house tucked in the upper portion of Exo Genia which is just south of Thera, the capital of Santorini. Close to the airport (5 km and about 8 mins drive), about 7 km from Thera (10-12 mins drive) and about 15-20 km from Oia (25-30 mins drive). The house is off the main road along Agios Charalambos (Greek Orthodox Church) and is accessed through a stone-paved downhill and uphill path (about 5 mins walk) so be prepared (especially if you have heavy luggages). The very popular Metaxy Max restaurant is close by where you enjoy exceptional dinner while letting the sun slowly sets down. You will definitely need a car if you're renting this house but it's all worth it. Believe me.
Chrisa is a wonderful host and responds to inquiries on reasonable time. Her English is understandable and I didn't have any problems communicating with her. The place is very comfortable for all of us (9 people: 4 adults, 4 teens and 1 child). It has basic amenities. It has washer but no dryer as you can easily dry clothes by hanging outside. Bedrooms and sleeping areas are spacious. The kitchen and dining areas have the necessary amenities and utensils. The bathrooms are good as well. The patio is of multiple levels, two areas are covered with grape vines with couches and outdoor dining sets. Two open areas where you can soak under the sun. All have beautiful view of the sea (and the airport). We enjoyed dining in the patio areas. Internet connection is very good which all of us definitely need.
Driving to Thera and Oia from this place is very easy. One thing to be aware is that roads are narrow, winding and hilly. So be prepared. As long as you're driving cautiously you'll be fine. Although Thera and Oia are very popular, there are hidden gems in the southern portion of the island which are easily accessible from this place. The island is all yours to explore and you can wind down the patio and enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sunset and the lights glitter as the dusk begins to set in.
We had a good time staying in this place. A home away from home. I definitely recommend it.
