Great place to stay in Santorini! Yorgos was amazing, responsive, and went above and beyond by recommending a cruise and even holding onto our bags after checkout so we could go! The place is cozy, has a fridge, and a wonderful view of the mountains from a private balcony. We enjoyed hiking to Ancient Thira, walking into Perissa, and exploring the island by taking buses to different cities. There is a sweet bakery about a block away (great coffee, too, if you’re like me and need it to start the day!). There is also a supermarket right next to the bakery.
Perissa is not the “postcard” tourist location, so if you are looking for a slower pace that definitely still has the access to restaurants and the rest of the island by bus, this is a great location. It is about 15 mins walk from the beach and very close to fun mountain hiking. Bus to Fira was about 15-20 min (varies), and from there you can bus to any other city. We did not drive in Santorini, and we are glad we chose that! Bus tickets average 2 euros per ride, and are an easy way to get around.
The cruise Yorgos recommended was spectacular, one of our favorite memories from the trip!
