There are a lot of options in Santorini, and not knowing what's what, I was attracted to this property by the photos and the price.
Markos was really fast to respond, but I didn't book right away because there was a lot to consider.
I ended up booking with Markos and I'm so glad I did.
His property used to be the family restaurant and wedding reception venue, so it has an amazing view in a nice quiet part of Santorini.
The room was super clean and daily housekeeping was provided by Markos's mother, who couldn't do enough to take care of you.
There are 4 towns in Santorini you would stay at: IA, Fira, Perissa and Megalochori.
Megalochori is the least like a tourist town. It has a small village with a nice restaurant in the town square.
The bus is 1.8 eoro to Fira and Perissa, and it's another 1.8 euro to IA from Fira.
The bus service is well run so if you don't want to get a car which saves a lot of money and effort.
There is a fridge and coffee making facilities in the room so you can pick up some great Greek treats at the local bakery and watch the sunset over a beer.
I use AirBNB a lot and this is the best property I've stayed at. I hope to come back with my family next year.
This isn't a small apartment among 200 with a hot tub in Fira or IA, it's a nice size room in a quiet town with great small local businesses and an easy to use bus service that gets you to the tourist spots.
Highly recommended.
If it's peak season don't procrastinate like I did because you might miss out.
