Right from the start, we knew we were going to enjoy staying here. Two days ahead of our arrival, Eva had contacted us to arrange our (free) pickup at the port of Santorini. Our driver was Steve, the very friendly owner of Stavros Villas.
At reception, we were signed in by Emma, Steve's other daughter. Everyone has a very friendly disposition and is very quick to give helpful tip for sightseeing, restaurants or anything else. I even got in a couple of conversations about Greek politics. By the end, it was hugs all around and a little sadness that we had to leave.
The location is in one of the quieter areas of Santorini, the eastern village called Karterados. If you plan on seeing Santorini in an significant way, it is essential that you rent a car, scooter or quad to get around, which we did. Our car was all arranged by Emma and Eva.
The room we got had a balcony with a breathtaking eastern view of the sea. If you get up early enough, you can watch the sun rise while listening to the roosters crow. The room is basic and very clean, with air conditioning. It is also very quiet.
The other really nice feature is the in ground pool. It is never crowded, even in high season.
One week into our Greek vacation, this was the highlight in terms of accommodations. We were really lucky to be able to stay at such a great place.
