Our stay at Ancient Thira bungalows was a mixed experience. The location was great, close enough to Kamari and the beach to be easy to walk into, just beware there is a bit of a steep hill so you’ll want to be fairly mobile. The views from the bungalow were stunning and the pool was lovely, if a little fresh! Unfortunately, there were a few glitches that could easily be sorted. When we arrived ( at midnight!) there was no clearly marked reception, fortunately there were some other guests who were able to point us in the direction on the caretaker. The lady overseeing the development appeared not to be expecting us, even though the company organised our taxi transfer and were given our flight times, she appeared to ask us to come back the next day, although we could have got that wrong in translation! Once we were eventually shown to our room there appeared to be no key to secure it, after we insisted a key was in fact necessary, one was provided, albeit a bit reluctantly. The bungalow itself would not really be suitable for any cooking, but as it’s so close to town that wasn’t an issue for us. The cleaning could be improved and unfortunately the shower was not great either - we found it better to use the shower by the pool so we didn’t end up flooding the bathroom! On a positive side there was plenty of room, and 4 beds that were comfortable, we both slept well with no interruptions. The breakfast was basic and easy to order. We would be unlikely to stay here again based on the shower and cleanliness issues.
