This place is ideal if you don't have a lot of luggage and want to enjoy local living with extras like the rooftop pool (which is not big enough to swim, but is great to cool off after a day out in the Sun or start your day with the first rays of the morning Sun). Emporio is Not Thira or Oia, but the view is still great from the patio and especially the rooftop pool. If you want, you can do your own grilling as it has a place for it (though you will have to buy your own charcoal at one of the local grocery stores). Parking is a bit of a challenge, but there is public parking about 200 m (or yards) down the road and the walk through the narrow street is a joy in the morning and even at the end of the day). The cottage is super quiet which you will need after a full day of activities. Speaking of activities, I highly recommend Jason's boat tour to the Volcano island, a hot spring where you can swim in the iron-rich water, and to a quiet island nearby where you can have dinner at a restaurant by the shore or enjoy your own sandwich topped with some ice cream at a local place. All in all we had a great time and we highly recommend Tinne's cottage if you are looking for a quiet place with Cycladic cave home but with 21st century conveniences.
