Our family (two adults and two boys aged 12 and 14) just spent 4 nights at Glaros Beach and had a wonderful time. The traditional studios are very clean and comfortable and in a fantastic location; just 2 minutes from the beach, mini markets and numerous restaurants. The kiosk provides a brilliant place to sit, either to escape the heat of the day or to spend a few hours relaxing in the evening (as a family we re-discovered chess and chequers and enjoyed just looking at the stars). However, what really makes this place special is Irene; she is a warm and friendly person and we couldn't have wished for a better host. She arranged for Andreas to meet us at the airport when we arrived and to drive us to the ferry port when we left, greeted us with cold drinks and water, arranged a day trip to the volcano as well as car hire for us (the car was dropped off and picked up at our door) and shared tomatoes and figs from her garden with the boys. Perivolos is a very quiet and peaceful place which suited us perfectly but an excellent local bus service means that it is easy to get to nearby Perissa, Fira and to Ia in the north of the island. We plan to go back to Santorini and when we do we will definitely stay with Irene again.
