This is the best place to go when traveling to Santorini. The little village nearby is not as touristy as the other places and we loved that! We went everywhere by Quad that Helen organized for us, we where picked up by the port and also where driven back there - it was so convenient and perfect. The Beach Appartments are a beautiful oasis by the see and we enjoyed the tavern nearby, the pool and the fresh vegetables and eggs we got from Helen and George's henns. We would go there again for sure! Regarding the plains: There are only about ten of them and only during the day so it's fun to watch and didn't bother us at all.
