Let's face it, Santorini in the summer is hot, crowded, and busy. It's also small, so do yourself a favor and choose to stay at Karterdaros beach with the apartments that George and Helen run. Inside the gates is a garden and pool oasis where George has set up his amazing garden. Just down the lane is the black sands of Karterdaros beach itself. We could not have been happier having chosen this location. Our only regret is that we did not stay here longer.
