Manolis was a very accommodating, informative and kind host. He did everything to make us feel welcome and to facilitate our visit and gave us some good holiday advise. Manolis helped organise our transfers which was very helpful. The apartment was very clean, the bed linen was very crisp and good quality along with the towels. The apt was cleaned everyday. There was a bed in the lounge which meant my traveling companion and I had our own sleeping space which was nice as we are both light sleepers. The kitchen is adequate for basic catering and there are nice terraces to eat and relax on. The location is great, right beside the sea which means the apartment gets a nice sea breeze so you don't feel too hot so we hardly used the air conditioning despite warm temperatures outside. We hired a car for one day which allowed us to see much of the island as it is so small and easily done by car. There is a good bus service but it is centralised in Fira which means travelling to Fira to travel elsewhere which can be time consuming. We had a lovely time in staying at Thalassitis coastal apartments. Before and during the holiday Manolis answered any queries quickly on the Airbnb platform which made booking the holiday and finding our feet on the island easy. The apartments are good value for money in my opinion and I would recommend them to other travellers.
