A Local Greek Experience:
We stayed at Plumeria and we loved it! We did not want to stay in Oia or Fira we wanted have a more local experience. The house is on a local street where Greek families live and you feel so welcomed, there are kids playing outside and you can smell the Greek food cooking up in their homes. Next door is Katrina the hostess mom who we adored, she is our new Greek mama, she was so attentive and we even tried some of her delicious food! The place is spacious is super clean, the bed very comfortable and a great shower, it also has a little front patio to enjoy your morning coffee.
Location: It is in the middle of the island close to grocery stores and the bus stop. To get to Fira where the main bus station is, was about a 15 min bus ride and to get to Oia you have to catch another bus from Fira which is a good 25 min. so plan ahead. There are places to rent a car walking distance from Plumeria, in case you will rather travel the island by car. If you want a nice local beach without the crowds we particularly loved Perivolos although a little far it is so nice to spend a relaxing afternoon. This is a good place to go if you rent a car for a day going on the bus a bit long ride. We will forever cherish the wonderful times we had in Santorini and Plumeria.
