Vasillis collected us at the port. With hundreds pouring off the ferry at the same time, we never expected him to find do us so quickly! We had more luggage than the average traveler because Santorini was the first stop on our 45 day trip to Europe. He quickly got our bags stowed on the van and had us on our way to Rodakas Hotel (Georgios' place).
This is a beautiful hotel that captures the essence of Santorini and the graciousness of the Greek people. Even though there is no view of the caldera, the Greek blue of the Mediterranean is never far away. What really makes Georgios' place special is the staff. From the very efficient and charming Mata who greets you at reception to Georgia and Katherine who manage the breakfast room and service the guest rooms, everyone is committed to helping you. My husband has difficulty walking; Georgios made sure we had a ground floor room with minimal steps. Georgia was always there to carry a tray for him. When we wanted to extend our stay but they were fully booked, Mata spent 2 days calling many different hotels and found us a perfect beach location on the other side of the island. Vasillis even drove my husband to Kamari to check out the new space! Mata recommended the car rental service for us to use, which helped immensely. They cautioned us about pitfalls we might encounter at various locales.
This is a boutique hotel rather than what I expected from airb&b. This was our first experience with airb&b and has turned out to be a wonderful introduction. Did I mention how clean everything is and how good the breakfast (at extra but fair cost) and the convenience of an occasional dinner ( mostly pizza)? We were here for 6 days at the end of peak season. Highly recommend.
