I was pleased to stay in Finikia, which is a quaint, carless village. A couple of nights were unfortunately disrupted by noisy tourist neighbours in other rented houses, but thankfully this didn't persist. It was away from the crushing crowds in Oia and Fira, but an easy 15 minute walk to Oia and a bus ride to Fira. The house is beautiful and the terrace a wonderful place to unwind. Friendly visiting cats made it seem like having bonus pets!
George the house manager was wonderful and very helpful with luggage, suggestions and organising transport to the airport. His friendliness and professionalism should be commended.
