When planning a trip to Santorini, we wanted to stay a little off the beaten path and away from the congestion and tourist-y areas of Fira and Oia. We started looking into Perissa and once we found the Aeolis Santorini, we knew we found the perfect spot.
Nicholas had great communication and received us as soon as we arrived. He allowed us time to get ready and when we asked for recommendations of what to do during our short stay, he sat with us for 15-20 minutes going over the highlights of Santorini.
The space we were in was the Loft room and it was situated perfectly. The air conditioner was quite cool, the beds were very comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was perfect. Our space opened up to a private balcony that overlooked the massive pool which was a welcome retreat from the Santorini heat.
This place is also a 10-15 minute walk from the black sand beach in Perissa which has multiple restaurants and shops.
Perissa isn't super close to the airport, the port, Fira or Oia, but the bus system is reliable and renting a car is reasonable. We rented a car for a day so we would be able to get around the island and it was worth it. Nicholas set up the rental on our behalf and handled the communication.
As we were leaving, Nicholas gave us some fresh baked Olive Oil cake that his mother had made in the morning which was a pleasant surprise. He waited with us as we were leaving to help us with our bags and to ensure we got on the bus to take us to the port.
This place was great and is a true reflection of the host and his family that runs it. Nicholas was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to help us make sure our short stay in Santorini was a very memorable one. A sincere thank you to him and if you are coming to Santorini, you will not be disappointed with your stay here!
