If you want a taste of true Greek hospitality and a little piece of paradise this is the place for you! My husband and I could not have been more satisfied with Villa Athena! Alexios and Alexander were incredibly helpful and kind to us, and made our stay truly outstanding. We did not rent a car because we didn't have an international license but thanks to Alexios he arranged transportation for us from the ferry to the villa and from Oia to the airport with his cousin Alexander, whom also helped take us back to the villa on the day we missed the last bus back to Akrotiri. We had an unforgettable experience, the Villa is more perfect in person than what you can see in the pictures, the robes, jacuzzi and wine were added bonuses that made our stay even better. Rent a car if you come to Santorini, but if you don't, the villa is only a 5 minute walk from the bus station. Additionally, there is a little market 6 minutes from the villa if you rather cook while you stay at the villa. The red beach and Akrotiri ruins are a 20 minute walk from the villa. We loved cooking breakfast in the villa and having some of the coffee Alexios so kindly provided. We will come back and highly recommend it to anyone, specially if you rather stay away from the hoards of tourists and want to enjoy the beauty of Santorini in comfort and at your own pace.
