At this vacation we found out Greeks are one of the most hospitable, kind, helpful and punctual hosts in the world and really know how to run tourism and how to make you feel special :). That also greatly applies to our hosts Margarita & George; that has waited for us and welcomed us even thought we arrived late at night; the cleaning lady and other family members you meet on daily basis in this simple beautiful family hotel. You can get every piece of information about area, (transports, bars, rentals, offices) and help you need from George. Althought other family members don't speak English they will help you in any way possible and in the end call George on the phone if use of universal language will fail :).

Room is very nice and exactly like on photos. It has TV, fridge, air conditioner, bathroom with shower, king size bed, »makeup corner« with mirror and seat and big closet. It is accessible from the terrace with small table and 2 chairs where you can eat your meals (there is also clothes hanger to hand and dry your beach wear). There is a small but well enough equipped kitchen just outside the room that you can use to prepare simple meals.

Very nice cleaning lady cleans the room, changes bed sheets every 3 days and towels every day. There were even small present of delicious home grown cherry tomatoes, grown by Margarita herself waiting for us one day :).

Hotel is located by the main road from Emporio to Perissa and at the crossroad leading to Perivolos beach.Its just 10min walk to Perrisa and Perivolos beach, which is really one beautiful large 5 km beach with beach bars, stores, hotels/studios and more. There is »SUPER BIG DISCOUNT MARKET« :) just 5 min walk along the main road to Perissa where you can buy everything for reasonable prices and a very good bakery opened 24/7 with breads, pastries, sweets, fresh orange juice etc.. There is also a bus stop, car/scooters/4-wheelers rental and small market just in front/across the road of/from the hotel – but there are better priced rentals very close, so do check prices in many rentals, rent for more days and haggle for prices.

The only minus is that the road in front of the hotel is the main road so is really busy during the day, that means the meals on balcony are not idealistic if you are looking for quiet, romantic dinner :D. Al thought we had absolutely no problem enjoying our meals anyway :).

We had unforgettable vacation in Santorini and do greatly recommend staying at Margaritas studios.
