My three friends and I had a wonderful stay at Stavroula's villa in Kamari! Yiota, the lovely property manager, arranged for our pickup at the Santorini Airport and was at the villa to greet us upon our arrival with fresh iced tea. The owners had kindly stocked the fridge with a bottle of wine and a few bottles of water to get us settled since you can't drink the water in Santorini. They had also provided us with a beautiful fruit basket.
Yiota gave us the tour of the villa and then sat down with our group to tell us about the island and provided us with activity ideas and restaurant suggestions in each area of Santorini. She suggested we rent a car (we had planned to use public transportation), but she rightly suggested a rental car would be much cheaper for us than taxis or the bus in the long run. She called a local car rental company and had the car delivered to us the following morning and also had it picked up from the villa the day we left for 35 Euros a day. This was great since there is free parking right outside the villa. Yiota also helped us decide on what to see and do while we were on the island and we were not disappointed with any of her suggestions. We had already booked a catamaran cruise, but she will help you book that as well if you are interested. Yiota also provides you with a local Greek cell phone so you can easily call her and she can easily reach you which was a nice touch.
The villa is located in Kamari which is famous for the black stone beach. It is probably a 7 minute walk from the villa to the beach. There are lots of local restaurants and little shops to check out in the town. There is also a grocery store a 5 minute walk from the villa which was super convenient and had everything we needed.
If anything, the pictures don't do the villa itself justice. It was incredibly clean and well appointed. Both beds were very comfortable and I'm sure the sofa bed is as well. Having three full bathrooms was convenient with four ladies! The pool and the deck area was beautiful. The apartment was cleaned by a very nice woman every day so it felt like we were at a hotel.
We highly recommend this airbnb! If we go back, we will be calling Yiota for sure.
