Nikos was a perfect host. The apartment was huge and well situated for beautiful Pyrgos. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well sized and we cooked a couple of lunches. It was great to have two bathrooms and a washing machine. Nikos helped us hire a car and organised airport transfers. He also shared restaurant recommendations. The pool was a must and welcome relief in the heat.
The only downside of the whole trip, not related to Nikos or the apartment, was seeing the awful treatment of donkeys at the Port of Fira. We were traumatised by what we saw - no water or shade, sores, infections, whipping. It would be enough to stop us returning to Santorini unless the abuse is addressed.
