The house at Exo Gonia is a little marvel. Hewn out of the rock, and therefore cool in even the hottest July weather, the little house was more than big enough for the five of us. Comfortable, impeccably clean, with an oh-so-useful shaded area to eat, it was always a pleasure to return to after the day out. The nearby village of Kamari was downhill all the way - Santorini is synonymous with steep hills! - which of course means uphill all the way back. But you soon get used to this. The beaches, bars, shops and restaurants (Takis pointed out some very good ones) in Kamari were all fine: in fact, quite a vibrant little place, but without being too busy... All in all, Takis was a great host, always on hand, but never intrusive. We had a wonderful time and would certainly recommend a stay at Exo Gonia. Thank you Takis!
