My fiancé and I enjoyed our time at Kate’s place. She was very helpful and scheduled us a taxi to and from the airport, as well as sending a list of recommendations for restaurants and attractions. Something came up so she was not initially able to greet us, but she arranged our driver to show us around. If you stay in the village of Akrotiri, you will definitely need transportation to get around, the best being a car. Akrotiri is in the south west part of the island and the main tourist spots are in the north part of the island. Taxi fares are very expensive so keep in mind that a car is a necessity. Kate’s place is exceptionally clean, and has an extremely comfortable bed. She put some fresh fruits and water in the kitchen which was a nice touch. You will enjoy this apartment if you want a quiet place to stay away from the crazy crowds. The only thing that bothered me a bit on the trip is that Kate came by the morning before we checked out to say hi and bring a picture frame into the apartment- which is fine, but we were trying to pack our bags and get dressed. Getting an unexpected knock on the door was a bit odd, especially when she wanted to come in. I was right out of the shower, and my clothes and undergarments were laid out- so it was pretty embarrassing. She asked to come in, and I felt weird about it because what can I say? No to the owner? So I had to let her in. It was really not a good time to visit, and when in rented space, privacy is important. I don’t want to interact too much, I want to enjoy my stay and on the day of check out, unwind from the trip and pack up. During her visit she also told us she was there to collect a 50cent a night “tax fee”. This was fine, but I would’ve appreciated a heads up or a mention of this in the description. We tried to use our euros up on our last day, but thankfully we had a couple left over for this “tax”. I thought it was strange that this wasn’t included in our cost for the stay. Just something to note.
