My 3 sisters and I stayed in Uri’s home in Emporio in early May for a planned 4 days.
Uri has an assistant by the name of Anastasia who is extremely helpful and friendly.
Anastasia is the one that I was in touch with from prior to our arrival in Santorini and she was helpful to arrange a pick up at the airport by Steve.
Steve and Anastasia were so friendly with tips and ideas of where to go and what to see.
The home is as lovely as you see in the pictures. It is very clean and organized.
The home is located right next to a souvenir shop. It also is situated about 200 feet from a locale where you can get some food and nice drinks.
The area is very quiet and residential. The town of Emporio has some restaurants and a small supermarket approximately 5-10 minute walk away.
In order to get to Fira, you can take one bus that costs less than 2 Euro per person and takes about 25-30 minutes to get there.
To get to Oia, you must take one bus to Fira and then transfer to another bus for a total of about 45-60 minutes in travel time.
Be aware that this home has a narrow stairway to the “roof”.
We had booked this home for a few reasons and one if the main ones was that it had a jacuzzi.
Unfortunately, the jacuzzi did not work, and by this I mean it did not heat up at all, while we were there despite attempts from Steve, Anastasia and Uri to look at it and after many attempts to find a technician that could repair it.
After discussing this with Uri, we agreed it would be best to leave a day early as we were not satisfied with the jacuzzi not working.
Uri agreed to refund me the whole amount that was paid (minus fees and service) as he is a man of his word and understood our frustration at the jacuzzi not working.
Rarely will you find someone that does this, but Uri and his team were very considerate at all times.
One thing I could suggest is that the washing machine have some translation to English from Greek.
And also, maybe some baggage tables or somewhere to place our suitcase while open.
We would like to thank Uri, Anastasia and Steve.
