A big thank you to Elias and his mother for their helpfulness and warm hospitality during our stay at Villa Ersi. From picking our family of five up at our previous accommodation on Kamari Beach, to allowing us to store our luggage before the flight back to London, Elias worked really hard to make our holiday as easy as possible. Regarding the accommodation, everything is exactly as it looks in the photos - comfortable, well-maintained, spotlessly clean and the pool is lovely. Firostefani is perfectly located to explore the whole island. Ersi Villas is a short walk into Fira for bus transfers and the cable cars to the Old Port. The highlights for us were the 2 1/2 hour hike to Oia (amazing views but challenging in places) and the excursion to the Volcano and Hot Springs. The other highlight is the home-baked apple cake at breakfast. I would highly recommend Ersi Villas for a 3-4 day stay to explore Santorini. After that, you might want to escape the tourist hordes and ATVs to a more peaceful setting, like Akrotiri, or (like us) visIt another island.
