My mom and I visited from 10/02/2017- 10/06/2017. From the moment I booked Giannis's place for our stay he was already getting prepared for our visit. Giannis confirmed our flight information and was ready and waiting for us at the airport when we arrived. Giannis also spoke ahead of time with our Sunset Cruise travel guide, to arrange a meeting place for pick-up, and called once we arrived to confirm. Giannis made our trip so easy that we had no choice but to kick back and relax. Giannis is very knowledgeable about the island of Santorini and specifically Kamari Beach. He wasted no time in introducing us to the local drink Masthika and a local dessert that was quite delicious. Giannis truly cares about his guests and treated us like family the whole time we were there. He even arranged his schedule to be able to drop us off and pick us up from our afternoon wine tasting.
Kamari Beach: What a lovely location to spend your time. The area did not seem too crowded, although we were there on off season, and there was plenty to offer visitors (shopping, days on the beach, traditional Greek meals with dancing and plate breaking). The city seemed very safe. My mom and I were out and about until 9 or 10 each night and never felt unsafe. The view from Giannis house was stunning. Most reviews will tell you to make sure you see sunset over the caldera (we did) but equally amazing was the sunrise over Kamari beach (a sight Giannis suggested we try to see atleast once while we were there- He was right!).
Lastly, as a side note, Giannis recommends that travelers do not spend time and money to book excursions prior to arriving in Santorini. He has seen where several tourists have paid WAY to much for excursions only for the luxury of having it planned prior to arrival. Giannis is so knowledgeable of the area and the tours and he is willing to help guests get these excursions booked on arrival at a much more reasonable rate. Although we did not know this ahead of time, so we booked a tour before we came, I would trust Giannis's suggestion if I were to do it again.
Giannis has really thought of everything when it comes to accommodating his guests. What a beautiful and relaxing trip at a lovely home with a beautiful family.
