Chris and Ida's place is located away from the busyness of Thira, Oia and the Caldera in a quiet part of Mesaria. We loved that we could go into these places but escape back to the apartment for a swim and relaxation. It is worth having a car to get around but not essential as the bus stop is walking distance from the apartment as are local supermarkets, restaurants and a great winery. They were wonderful hosts and their apartment is one of the more luxurious I've stayed in on airbnb. Would definitely stay here again!!!
