Hotel Rodakas is a wonderful place to stay. Georgios was great with communication and even gave us a bigger room (no charge) for most of our stay. Although the pool doesn't have a water view, it is wonderful, and there is someone to provide drinks and food nearly all the time. Akrotiri is quieter and calmer than other spots of the island (especially Fira and Oia), which we loved. You are a quick walk down to the water for an uncrowded beach as well as a place to eat and drink. You can get other spots on the island quite easily by bus or by renting a car, ATV, or scooter.
