Three short days in Santorini staying at Magda's 90-year old exquisite domed villa in the small Village of Megalochori.
The villa was tastefully renovated. The furnishings made for a relaxed stay and the daily cleaning services was a pleasant surprise.
Megalochori is a very different place to stay than the main Santorini tourist haunts. Much more laid back and relaxed. Lots of good restaurants. We also enjoyed a delightful afternoon tasting wines at Gavalas Vineyards which is a hop, skip and a jump from the villa. Gavalas is a lovely setting. I'm more of a big red guy, but there is no taking it away from the unique indigenous wines of Santorini which are dominated by white and desert wines. Gavalas is renowned for its award winning Vinsanto sticky wine.
We did some island sight seeing but the thing we loved the most was relaxing by the plunge pool and walking the village of Megalochori.
We loved Magda's place very much and we highly recommend it. We would definitely come back. We didn't get to meet Magda but she was a great communicator. We did meet with her manager, Kostus, several times and he was outstanding booking us drivers, giving tour and dining recommendations and sorting out laundry.
