Maria's place at Hotel Rodakas was excellent! Maria was easy to communicate with prior to our arrival and very accommodating with an early check-in and then leaving our bags in the office at the end of our trip until our ferry time. The room was clean and had an amazing balcony that overlooked the pool. Maria was very helpful with information about the island and was very willing to help us book different things and navigate the island. You are able to walk to the Red Beach from the hotel (20mins). The bus stop to travel into Fira is right in front of the hotel, beware that you almost always wait for the bus. The beautiful pool and amazing bar service were a highlight!
