Greek Paradise
First of all, Iannis and Adriana are amazing and authentic people who made my stay a lifetime memory. It was difficult to even leave Santorini due to their hospitality and kindness. I will definitely be returning. The private studio was better than the pictures and the hosts take a great deal of care in their property, and it really shows. Beautiful landscaping and trees adorn the common areas, and the studio is removed from the hustle and bustle of the waterfront. This was exactly what I was looking for as a solo traveler and Kalipso private studio delivered. The private path to the beach is great and it’s less than 2 minutes. The same applies to the excellent restaurants and shops, with a less than 5 minute walk right to them from the studio. I frequently used the deck adjacent to the studio to relax and enjoy the sun.
The kitchen, bathroom and facilities were excellent and although I had good intentions to cook, I couldn’t resist the excellent restaurants in the area so I didn’t really use the kitchen much. I used the laundry service provided by Adriana at the property and it was excellent to have nice clean laundry before heading back home. Linens were changed and the room was cleaned frequently, as I left the doors wide open almost all the time (Kamari is very safe). The bed was large and comfortable as I often napped after a big Greek lunch (portions!).
Iannis was kind enough to transfer me to and from the airport which is a very short driving distance. I used a separate taxi service to go to Thira to obtain my PCR test before leaving (expensive test comparatively but the results were very fast!) and had no issues getting around on foot in Kamari Village. Everything is traversable, the dining options are plentiful and the hospitality of the people of Santorini is top notch. Exceeded my expectations. Thank you Maria, Iannis and Adriana for your hospitality; the Greeks get it!
