5 Minutes walk to nice beaches. The fish taverne o perivolos was not only excellent, the waiters are so sweet and friendly despite the many tourists. the food was very good and you can stay on the beds under the umbrellas for free as long as you order some drinks. they serve you on the beach. the bus station for Fira (Thira) is close by. after one trip we decided to rent a car. the busses are overcrowded though okay if there are no other options. distances are not very far, so you can explore the island easily. the inly bottleneck is the port. the masses if people and trucks they have to handle is enormous and they do it charme and remain very friendly. we stayed for 2,5 hours at the port and had also good food there and friendly waiters. staying in agios giorgos was the right decision.
