I stayed at George’s place the shortest amount of time during my visit to Greece, but I wish it were the other way around. The apartment is all that I needed, I should have saved the money from the fancy hotels and just settled down in this cozy, clean, affordable spot. It actually would have made way more sense to stay at George’s and just rent an ATV to explore the island. Santorini isn’t that big and everyone drives them around anyways. You can get from one side to the other pretty directly, one town to the next to walk the cliffs or any of the beaches northeast or southeast would be easy.
The bed was comfortable and I originally booked because of the convenience to the airport, it’s basically in his backyard. George was so kind! He picked me up from Fira and also took me to the airport the next morning! Very early might I add. He also gave me a few beers to go with my dinner!
If you want to check out Monolithos it’s literally a stones throw. There’s some restaurants, a hotel, a party store, and a cool black sand beach... not just pebbles like what’s usually found. Cool cliff erosion formations too, just a cool little area.
I loved my short stay at George’s and would like to book with him again in the future, and would recommend him to anyone going to Santorini!
