We absolutely LOVED staying at Elvira’s place. The neighborhood is the perfect balance of bustling while not being crowded or suffocating. It was very easy for us to walk around, get great pictures, and walk in to restaurants. The room had a stunning ocean view and it is right off of the towns main square so it was very easy to get to (you will need to get down a couple flights of stairs). The nearby restaurants all have fantastic food, especially the Why Not Souvlaki gyros and cocktails at Mama Thira. The next town over is Fira which has many more shops and restaurants. We had cleaning service daily so it felt like a hotel experience. Elvira was a very clear communicator and always happy to help with suggestions and taxis. We would definitely return.
