We stayed at the Deluxe apartment with plunge pool and absolutely loved our stay. The host and property manager, Penelope, was always accommodating and proactive in helping us organize activities around the island. We had delicious breakfasts and a clean room each day thanks to Pat. The apartment itself is clean, modern, spacious, and has a nice view of the caldera. The heated plunge pool is awesome and private.

The benefits of staying near Akrotiri are that it's more quiet and affordable than the congested tourist areas of Oia, Imerovigli, and Fira/Firostefani. While it's easily accessible and Penelope will give you good directions, a rental car is important so that you can easily reach those tourist areas.
