Firstly, Stavros is a fantastic host. He is so passionate about Santorini and all it has to offer. He was always more than happy on answering our questions and giving us recommendations for places to eat, visit, and where to go on tours. He made travelling to a country with a completely different alphabet feel comfortable and exciting.
The photos do not do the home justice - it is absolutely stunning. The view of the caldera is breathtaking, the home was clean and comfortable, and the town of Akrotiri was quiet and welcoming. The kitchen is also very well equipped with appliances to cook hot meals and prepare salads.
If you are debating between staying in Oia/Fira and Akrotiri, stay in Akrotiri. The prices are 25-40% cheaper for food and supplies, and the restaurants are usually better. It is also quieter and 100x less crowded. Akrotiri truly made Santorini feel like a vacation, and Oia like the metropolis my partner and I looked to escape from!
Thank you Stavros for hosting us - we WILL return!
