We stayed for a week in the middle of September and it was the ideal place to be based. Evangelia was genuinely one the best hosts you will find on Airbnb. Her property is ideally situated five minutes drive outside of the capital Thira, just down the road at Imerovigli (which is itself a nice little town on the coast with a number of good restaurants).
Evangelia cooks a large breakfast each morning which means there is little need to worry about sorting anything for lunch. The rooms are spacious and are cleaned to a high standard every day. The private jacuzzi is complete with comfortable sun-loungers and is a particularly peaceful setting (something you cannot get in a shared hotel pool).
Moreover, contrary to some of the reviews shared on this property, it is not essential to have a car. The bus stop is 5 minutes walk from the property and Evangelia will gladly sort transport to anywhere on the island at a price which is cheaper than any taxi.
Upon arrival Evangelia will take you through all of the excursions and book anything you want to do for you (the luxury sunset cruise (€170 pp) and the wine tour (€100pp) are a must!).
Evangelia's personal touch ensure this experience resembles one of an incredibly good value for money boutique hotel and we cannot recommend this highly enough!
NB: Evangelia's shih tzu 'Lucy' is one of the most well-mannered and welcoming dogs you could hope to meet.
Anything less than 10/10 will not do Evangelia's place justice.
Many thanks,
Selena and Nick
