Such a beautiful airbnb that had everything we needed and more! If you’re looking to stay somewhere a little away from the hustle and bustle of Fira or Oia, then this is the place for you. Shoutout to Panos for being the best host! He was so communicative via WhatsApp prior to our arrival, helping us arrange transport, meeting us to help us with our luggage and show us all the features of the place. He also provided lots of recommendations and arranged our excursions as well! Anytime we had any questions, we would just message him and ask. He was very responsive. We were a group of 7 girls so that was all super helpful.
Warning though, the walk up to the airbnb is uphill with steps. It’s maybe about 7 min depending on your pace. Panos arranged for some donkeys to help with our luggages up, which I recommend if you have wheeled luggage. BUT THE VIEW from the upper terrace makes the uphill hike worth it. We spent our last night watching the sunset from there and it was breathtaking. Easily my favorite sunset in Santorini, better than at Fira and on the catamaran in the caldera.
More about the airbnb itself, we booked out the entire place, which is actually two one bedroom suites that have a connecting door and share an outside space which includes a swimming pool with loungers, cave-esque jacuzzi, front garden with seating, a small terrace with a table and a huge upper terrace with both table seating for 8 and a covered couch area. We had a lovely cleaning lady take care of the outer areas daily and also provided us with additional needed items. The inside areas are decorated beautifully and uniquely with lots of artwork! Loved the rainfall stone shower/bath in one of them. Plenty of wineglasses and cups in both units. The fridge and wine fridge came with some beers and wine for purchase.
Also highly recommend the breakfast delivery service at least one of the days. You can message the restaurant the night before and let them know the delivery time for the morning. Menus are in the airbnb. And the food and drinks were great, it to mention super convenient. They took payment by card upon delivery. There are also a number of restaurants and a couple mini marts in around the square of Pyrgos for anything you might need.
All in all, if you’re willing to brave the short uphill hike, then this place is gorgeous and has everything you would need. If you do decide to stay here, as much as there is to do in Santorini, I would recommend taking some moments to enjoy the airbnb itself and catch a sunset from roof. We had an amazing time and miss Greece so much! Can’t wait to come back!
