We had booked Anesti’s place for one night along with his tour of the island for the day we were there. Unfortunately the ferries were canceled due to weather the day we were scheduled to go to Santorini, and all flights were sold out. This threw a big wrench in the plans but Anesti was extremely responsive and gave us advice on contacting the ferry company for refunds.
We were able to fly in the next day and spend about 10 hours on Santorini. Anesti rescheduled our tour for us, coordinated an airport pickup and luggage storage for the day, and gave us some recommendations while we waited for him to pick us up for the tour.
The tour was a private tour for the 4 of us led by Anesti and his wife. They were excellent, answering our questions and taking us to some of the best spots. I told Anesti about my dream (for the last 20 years!) to watch the sunset in Oia and he didn’t just make it happen — he took us to several spots with different viewpoints to make my sunset dream come true. He gave us dinner recommendations and picked us up for an airport transfer afterwards.
Santorini has topped my list of favorite places, largely in part to Anesti. I can’t wait to come back and actually stay at Anesti’s place. Could not recommend him enough.
