Spectacular views from this location. In fact from the corner of the main bedroom balcony it is almost a 270 degree view. However the views from both balconies are obstructed by the Norfolk pine tree (providing some greenery in an otherwise dry island) and a building structure immediately in front blocking a lot of the caldera view, so the effect is nor panoramic.
The location is more on the periphery of Thera, about a fifteen – twenty minute extremely-scenic walk from the centre.
When sitting out on the main balcony there is road noise from scooters etc which jars the otherwise Zen-like ambience.
The is a good view of the sunset, but the main balcony is unshaded in the afternoon. The main bedroom balcony has a good view of Thera and is shaded, but upon sitting down the large solid high balcony structure leaves only a view of the sky.
There is also a club across the road on bedrooms side, but the main bedroom when closed up was sufficiently quiet.
The bathroom requires ventilation due to misdirected European sewer gas vent plumbing, which is not uncommon in parts of Europe. Apparently it is common in Greece that toilet paper cannot be flushed – a requirement here.
The kitchen is fairly basic but adequate. There is no dishwasher.
The air conditioning in the two bedrooms and in the main living area provide for comfort and sound sleep.
The host meet us upon arrival and was very helpful.
The arranged taxi ride to / from from the airport is 45 euros each way, which seemed a little high for the distance.
While we enjoyed our stay, if we returned and could plan far enough ahead we might attempt to find a more central location.
