Manolis' Thira house is lovely, and only minutes from the bus station. Walk two minutes and you will be at the caldera (the stunning cliff side restaurants and boutiques which Santorini is so famous for). The apartment is pretty and well appointed. Lovely thick towels and a very comfortable bed. I was desperately sick after picking up a bug in Crete, and if it wasn't for this lovely little sanctuary I would have been really unhappy. Manolis is very kind and friendly. The bus station being so close is perfect. You can get all over Santorini by local bus for a couple of euros. Santorini is smaller than you think. Thira to Perissa blacksand beach or Oia is only (an enjoyable) 10 minute bus ride, and you will get used to catching buses everywhere. My only regret was that this apartment was fully booked except for the two nights I was lucky enough to secure, so get in early! It's faultless.
