The house is a lovely, cosy house set by the side of a secluded and quiet beach. There is a constant breeze and it is peaceful just to sit on the outside patio. The downside is that one has to drive 20-30 mins to go to Fira or Oia for caldera views or big restaurants or shopping. But i would take the seclusion anyday than the crowds in the towns. The beach is pebbley so it is not so appropriate to swim or bathe there but there are other beaches away with sandy beach. Waves are sometimes big.
One double bed was over a loft in the kitchen. All the amenities were working perfectly in the house - washing machine, air-con, stove, jacuzzi etc. There is a hot water switch. All housing equipment was available - trash bags, kitchen towels, detergent for washing machine, conditioner etc et. Also the kitchen was well stocked - cereal, pasta, olives etc etc. We requested to have breakfast at home and he stocked the kitchen full - with eggs, cheese, yoghurt, delicious homemade fig jam etc etc. At no extra charge. He also offered to clean the house again at any point with no extra charge. We stayed for 3 days and requested he cleaned the house on the 2nd day.
Loakeim's mum prepared a simple and delicious dinner for us when we arrived. Loakeim himself was constantly available by phone to answer questions. We requested for a tour of the Akrotiri archaeological site and hired 2 small cars which he arranged for. The car rental ppl came to the house itself with the cars and we returned them at the airport. This was very convenient. There was 6 of us but i think hiring a slightly bigger 7 seater would not have been a problem rather than 2 small cars as sometimes it was difficult to tail each other or park in the same area.
We live in a big city with flat and well-tarred roads so it was a bit of a shock to drive in narrow, steep roads here with a lot of ascents and descents. Some roads were gravel. But after one day we got used to it. We were there for 3 days. We would come and stay again. Thanks Loakeim.
