This home is in an impeccable location and amazing views, spacious apartment. It was very good for a family of 4. Walking down to Thira is easy downhill. Overall lot of walking and climbing is required in general for this side of the island. Public transport is spotty at best for this location. All buses go thru Thira making it very time consuming for short stays. Buses to Oia from Thira stop enroute. Once for us returning late evening it did not stop at Amerogvile and we had to hike back uphill late night. Walking down to Thira and taking public transport from there would work OK. It’s a beautiful down hill walk with spectacular views of the caldera.
Having a small car helps but driving the hilly area is not easy for average drivers. Taxis are very expensive across the island. After two days of taking public transport and walking, we rented a car for a day right in Amerogvile and were able to see may places in the island.
Theodoris is a great host, he gave us specific places to eat in the towns that were spot on. He booked us the semi private catamaran and suggested we take the morning schedule. It worked great and was one of the most memorable experiences for us, especially the kids. Overall, the stay was very good. I would recommend anyone visiting to get to and fro transfer from airport or port. Theodoris arranged everything for us and it worked well.
