We had a wonderful time at Panos’ place in Akrotiri. Do your research and make sure you’re ok with being on the quiet tip of the island - Akrotiri is a very small village with just a handful of restaurants and one small supermarket. But if you have an ATV or hire car it’s not far to reach Fira, Oía; plus you’re close to some of the highlights of the south - the lighthouse, the Venetian castle, the Red Beach and the impressive archeological site of Ancient Thera.
The place is very compact (wouldn’t recommend for friends, it’s a couples level of intimacy), but it was spotlessly clean, had the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in during a month in Europe, a Nespresso machine, and we had no trouble parking.
Panos is the kindest, most gracious and helpful host imaginable. And for Santorini, it’s great value.
Highly recommended!
