This place is a gem with local charm. The location is perfect for us because it was convenient to see the whole island and experience santorinis culture and many sites. While famous for its sunset in Oia, we found the lesser crowds in Fira more enjoyable. The hotel is also across the street from caldera beach; our favorite beach. Well away from tourists, loud music and beach umbrellas this beach has a natural rock for cliff jumping and more privacy. And we just loved all our hosts! Christina helped everyday with planning, reservations, decisions. She is fantastic and made every day special and stress free. There is a bus stop just outside of the hotel but we found it late quite often. I recommend a car or ATV. There is parking at the hotel. From here, see Pyrgos, Kamari, megalorichos, Perissa and Oia for day trips. Don’t miss out on Akrotiri beach. It’s a 20 walk from the hotel and has quaint restaurants and boats that will shuttle you to other beaches for a very low cost.
