Villa Pelekanos was great place to stay… for us. It wasn’t in a crowded area, so it was relatively quiet. It’s near a bus stop which all routes going south stop at. It was only a 20 minute walk to Fira and 5 minutes from nice restaurants, two markets and a car/scooter rental.
The villa was very clean and the pool very inviting. People typically didn’t use the pool while we were there. Our host was helpful, approachable and always available. The flat serves its purpose well for a couple. There’s a bar fridge and a kettle (and hair dryer). Overall, it was a great value compared to more prime, noisy and crowded locations. I’d stay there again.
Advice: If arriving by plane, then bus it to Karterados on the Fira bus. They’re every 15-30 minutes. If arriving by ferry there’s a single 3pm bus from the port. Best to have your host arrange a taxi to get you, or you’ll get gouged at the port by taxi services.
