My kids had a blast in the pool. The villa is only a 10 minute walk to the bus station where the local bus or the tours pick you up. During our trip we did a bus tour and got picked up from the location (10 minutes away walking). We also did a boat tour from Thera. We took the local bus the next day at the same location to get to Thera and then took the cable car to old harbor to board our boat tour. Great location. Good value. And very helpful hosts.
