We had an amazing stay at the Red Beach Villa! The villa itself is comfortable and adorable, and we had everything we needed. It’s in a great location - a little outside of the main town of Akrotiri, so a little quieter in the evenings, but close enough to walk to the town and in close proximity to fantastic restaurants itself. (Highly recommend The Dolphins and Cave of Nikolas, both within just a few minutes’ walk!) It’s a great area because it’s close enough to the red beach for easy visits but also removed enough from other touristy stuff to be calm and peaceful after the beach crowd leaves in the afternoon. We visited both Oia and Fira (both pretty easily accessible by bus - we didn’t have a car but there’s a bus stop a short walk away) and both were beautiful but we found ourselves glad we stayed in the much more peaceful and quieter Akrotiri area. The villa is also a short walk to the prehistoric settlement, which is really cool. Nik was our host and was super responsive and helpful, setting up our taxis to and from the villa and even helping us get a taxi in the middle of the night when my boyfriend left his phone on the last bus of the night back from Fira and we tracked it to the Fira bus station. He responded to our panicked message for help setting up a taxi right away. Everything about our experience was great, and we’d absolutely return for another visit.
