Book it!!!! My husband and I booked this AirBnB without knowing much about Santorini and we're so glad we stumbled upon Utopia. It's called a hostel but we had a private room and bathroom as well as a balcony. For us, the location was perfect. Perissa is less touristy and had so much to offer. There is a beautiful black sand beach just steps away from the hotel and a ton of restaurants/little shops on a long "boardwalk" and a tourist attractions booking place along the beach as well. Also within walking distance: grocery store, bus stop, ATV rental places (Christina (the host) said ATV was the best way to get around the island but keep in mind you'll need an international driver's license, which we did not have - at least to rent from the places near Utopia). We flew into Santorini at about 3:30 am and were able to catch a van with other people headed to Perissa for 12 euro per person. We did have to pay 17.50 euro per person to get back to the airport though. We arrived at Utopia around 5 am. The door was open into the lobby but no one was there for us to check in with until about 9 am. I think based on other reviews we probably could have arranged something with Christina to get into our room upon arrival so that was just poor planning on our part. Regardless, there were chairs and couches in the lobby so we actually just fell asleep comfortably in there while we waited. Utopia has an awesome vegetarian restaurant called Tranquilo right on the beach where you can get a complimentary cup of coffee and free beach lounge chairs with umbrellas. Most restaurants give you free beach chairs and umbrellas with beach service but Tranquilo has a lot less chairs/umbrellas. That comes with pros and cons - might not be any available for you but you have a better view of the water and you're surrounded by less people. All in all, we stayed here for 5 nights and we hope to make it back!!! Also - make sure you try the Tzatziki/pita, Greek salad, and French fries from God's Garden right up the road -- we ate there 3 times -- amazing!!!
