Santorini was our final stop in our trip around Greece, and after a nightmare experience in Ios, we were greeted by Angelos - an absolute angel!
Even before we arrived, Angelos was more than forthcoming with arranging our arrival. He organized for a car to pick us up from the port. Anyone who has visited Santorini port will know how hectic and stressful it can be upon arrival, and taxis and buses out of there can be very expensive - so having that taken care of was already a huge weight lifted off our shoulders.
Angelos was ready upon our arrival in Perivolos with a smile and plenty of priceless advice on how to navigate Santorini. He asked us questions so he could make sure we got the most out of our trip, and thanks to his advice, we definitely did!
The place was absolutely spotless when we arrived and there was a nice cold bottle of water waiting for us when we arrived. We pretty much lived in the pool or the bath the whole time we were there. In fact, it became pretty difficult to actually leave our little place because we became so comfortable there! The open area bathroom, bedroom and little outside area is surprisingly private and perfect to just sit back and relax.
One of the best parts of our stay was the restaurant next door. I know a lot of the other reviews are raving about it - but it seriously lives up to the hype! I have to recommend the chicken salad. It's also within walking distance to the beach, but far enough away that you have your own privacy and quiet place to just sit back and relax in, which was perfect for us. There's plenty of beautiful little restaurants along the waterfront as well and we were within walking distance of a bus stop that took is to the main stop in Thira, as well as a little supermarket at the bus stop for anything else we might need. Basically, we were left wanting for nothing our entire trip!
Overall, there's nothing I can possibly fault with the place. Angelos was just lovely and could not have been more helpful. He offered to organize hire cars for us and much more, and even though we didn't take him up on the offer, the fact that the option was available was amazing and definitely not something other hosts would offer.
We look forward to returning sometime soon!
