Classic Cozy Cyclades
A charming Cyclades home on the ocean tip of Oia. Just steps from windmill sunsets, colorful restaurants and full-service mini-marts. The host, Agapi, is quick and thorough responding to questions. Her grandson was in Santorini during my visit and he helped with many small tasks - they were both very helpful and friendly. The home is solid and clean - freshly painted and built just a decade ago in authentic Cycladic style. It’s popular with tourists strolling by (for photos and a quick resting stop). The white and blue colors are classic - inside and out of the home. New upgrades include an instant hot-water device, a small cooking stove/warming oven area with basic supplies, and upcoming WiFi access (the family struggled with scheduling an reliable technician during the busy summer months - I'm confident the internet issue will be resolved within the week, late July 2018). Be advised - the home is in the tourist area of Oia. There are several times during the day when the pathway just in front of the home is busy - workers moving supplies to restaurants and lodging with wheeled dollies, guests shuffling by with rolling suitcases, and a few nearby restaurants and bars that play music until 10:30-11:00 pm (as well as one small yapping dog that seemed especially alert in the morning :-). I didn’t find these things to be too bothersome, but others might. I enjoyed a 4-night stay in the Pothos House and recommend it to others . Oia is a lovely town to meander through. I hope you love it too!
