The hospitality was truly a top notch-- the best host ever you can imagine! The host came to pick us up and drop us off at the airport although both times were pretty early (7:50 & 6:15am). We got there way earier than the check-in time. They kindly dropped us off again at a beach so that we can relax and spend time before the check-in. We had a 5-years-old girl, and the host adored her and made us feel so welcome. Gave us very useful information to every where. They are seriously dedicated to help us!
I am so glad I chose Messaria as my base location. Bus is so convenient, you definately dont need to stay in Fira or Oia. Those places can be beautiful, but you will not experience this more authentic (and less touristy and crowded) real Greek town feel. Besides, this villa is located in the gorgeous spot with your dream Santorini blue dome church right in front of your eyes in the yard! Yes, the bus stop is near to the villa as well, and Fira is super close- you can walk too. During the three days in Santorini, we went to Fira (several times), Oia, Kamari beach (twice), and Perissa beach (a boat goes btw Kamari and Perissa). Couldn't have picked a better cave villa, location, and the host! Appreciate everything so dearly! Words can't convey everything. 😍😍
