Haris’s home was absolutely beautiful. The photos are a 100% accurate depiction of what it looks like, but the full capacity of the view cannot be captured by a camera. EVERY direction was picture perfect! The home was bright, fresh, and was cleaned every day. After reading the reviews before our stay, we were under the impression that the sidewalk in front of the room was for public use (for other people to get to their homes), but it was totally private: a gate was there for us to lock.
We had about 40 steps to go down to the house from the main area of Oia. There were plenty of restaurants and shops right around the corner. With a rental car, we were about half an hour to an hours drive away from the black and red beaches.
We took advantage of the private transfer to and from the airport and were pleased to have such a friendly driver.
One of the best parts of our stay was the house manager, Zaf. He was the cheerful, honest, respectful, and kind! Zaf greeted us at the car, walked us to our room, and gave us plenty of tips and information about our stay: where to eat, where NOT to eat, what to do, and what to see. He also helped us rent our car and plan trips around the island. He was constantly checking up on us and answered any questions or concerns within minutes.
Overall, our stay at Haris’s home was more than we expected and was worth every penny!
