This apartment is exactly where we would return to if we were to come back to Santorini. We were pleasantly surprised to learn how walkable and accessible Santorini can be for the adventurous traveler, especially from this location. We were particularly happy to be away from the noise and gaggle of tourists that Fira presented. The hike to Oia (Ee-ah) was rigorous but refreshing for our first afternoon on the island, but the visual rewards watching the sun set from the northwest tip of the island made the effort well worth it. The value of Valerie's location, when compared with neighboring spa resorts, is tremendous. One tip is to stock up with a few necessities--coffee, for example--when coming through Fira, because the nearest market in Imerovigli is a good 15-minute walk. Valerie and her daughter Elisa were wonderful hosts!
