Vera’s place was exactly as described and the pictures give a very accurate depiction of what you will get. The location to the village was an easy five minute walk to all of the tavernas and the mini market. Akrotiri is centrally located on the island and is a good home base to operate from. It is a bit of a drive to Fira so I would recommend a car, but the bus stop was in walking distance. We enjoyed the sunset at the lighthouse in Akrotiri and overlooking the Caldera from a restaurant in Fira, but liked the quiet and relaxed atmosphere of Akrotiri and being able to retreat from the crowds after a busy day.
