“Our first trip to Santorini”

Efterpi Villas was a great find for us. The owner Costas was a wonderful host and I miss his filling morning breakfasts delivered to our room. Our standard cave room apartment was so unique, it really felt like our home for four days. There was a nice convenience store nearby that we visited often. And a fantastic and authentic family restaurant called Pirouni next door and up some steps. We were there in April before the summer crowds and it was cool and misty off and on. Nevertheless, it was a truly awesome and magnificent place to visit! Staying in Firostefani was a very good choice. Thira has many shops and restaurants to explore but it is much more crowded and only 10-15 minute walk away. Great view of Thira coming downhill.

Area recommendations
Firostefani was quiet and close enough to Thira. For me the most memorable day was when we followed the path all the way to Oia. It was about 5-6 mile hike and a bit rugged in places but the view of the caldera was spectacular. Climbing over the last hill and to see the city of Oia was also fantastic. The Museum of Ancient Thira in Thira is very good too. You can get around easily via public bus from Thira's main bus station. There seem to be about 6 routes that radiate out from there so you can easily take day trips to different parts of the island since it's only about 12-15 miles north to south. The ancient site of Akrotira is currently closed (April 2011) but we were told it would reopen in either late 2011 or 2012.

“This was the best choice we could have made!”

This hotel was beyond our expectation for the price range that we were prepared to pay. Surrounding us were luxury hotels which were as much as twice to five times more in price, however we had the same priceless views and location!!! The hotel was extremely comfortable, homely and authentic to local style. The service of the owner and staff was genuinely accommodating. And the amazing yoghurt & honey served with breakfast is still in our fondest memories, as we started our mornings with the views of the spectacular caldera that these villas offer. We WILL be back!!!

Area recommendations
The whole island is spectacular, however the location of Firastefani is perfectly located close to the main town, a five minute stroll away from the main peak activity and buzz. However, don't tell too many people. Best to keep Firastefani a secret! Most people go to Oia as well, however I think it is too far from the main hub of Fira. And the views from Firastefani are just as brilliant!
When to go
We went in early October and the weather was gorgeous. In August it is peak time crazy!
Getting around
Hire a scooter from Lukas Motor in Fira. They were fantastic to us and there scooter are great. There are scooter places everywhere and most are excellent, however I did see some dodgy ones on the road. Don't get a 50cc unless you only plan to go to the shops up the street and back. A 80-100cc is fine and is good enough to get you about the whole Island. If you are doubling try to get 100cc+. You will need a motorcycle licence to be able to rent a good scooter or motorbike. Also a small car rental may be the way to go. And don't listen to the rumours, I found the Santorini road users excellent, courteous and easy to share the road with. Just remember you are in another country and they do have their own style of driving, attitudes and rules. Don't go nuts if you see a local kid riding a motorbike without a helmet, respectly accept their ways. And generally they don't drive or ride fast, 40km/hr. I enjoyed the Santorini roads!
Dining
We loved Elia restaurant located in Fira for, lunch, dinner and afternoon coffee. It's authentic greek kitchen and fantastic, funny, friendly staff welcomed us as if we were were visiting relatives!! So much fun! And great food that enhanced our time in Santorini. Tel +302286023165
Outdoors or beach
There are many unique beaches to discover. And a little bit of Mykonos to be found at Kamari beach!

“Wonderful hotel... look no further, seriously!”

This is a perfect hotel for a relaxing stay in Santorini! The hotel is located in the smaller, less chaotic town of Firostefani, just a short 5-10 minute walk to the town of Fira. Fira gets quite crowded during the day with cruise ship passengers, so Firostefani is a great location choice. There are many great restaurants in Firostefani as well, just a few feet from the hotel. The hotel has beautiful and spacious rooms. We had an apartment style room with a queen sized bed, small kitchen and bathroom. Each room has an outside sitting area with a beautiful caldera view. The sunset is beautiful! Each morning, made to order breakfast is prepared by the hotel staff and delivered to your room. Breakfast choices consist of: toasted ham and cheese sandwiches, boiled eggs, toast and jam, various cookies and cakes, coffee and juice. The hotel manager was wonderful and personally arranged a tour of the island for us and gave us travel advice. A bus stop is conveniently located 2 minutes from the hotel, as is a car rental company. The hotel can also arrange pick up from the port. The only negative thing I can say about the hotel is that our room did not have a shower curtain. It took a little getting used to, but if you travel extensively in Greece, you will notice that this is a trend. Wonderful hotel, stop looking and book a room now!

Traveller's tip
Contact the hotel to arrange port or airport pick up. Take a boat tour to the volcano - the hotel can arrange the tour the day before.

“Efterpi Villas di Firostefani - Santorini”

Posizione ottima, vista sulla caldera unica. Camera e bagno puliti. La colazione, servita su ordinazione sul terrazzino privato, è abbastanza scarsa e molto basica. Assenza totale di assistenza per portare su e giù le valigie all'arrivo e alla partenza (io peraltro incinta!). Manca un fattorino!

“Franchement bien et bien placé,”

Ambiance : patron sympa et disponible. Petit dejeuner tres complet (sucré salé) Emplacement de l'hotel : C'est l'un des meilleurs emplacements sur l'ile. La piscine : elle est petite mais vue l'endroit c'est déja énorme. On peut nager car elle est équipée d'une pompe de "nage a contre courant". Et c'est super ... Vous trouverez dans cet hotel l'esprit de Santorin avec sa vue exceptionnelle.

Traveller's tip
L'hotel est a 2 pas d'une rue commerçante tres sympa... ou l'on trouve de tout mini market resto, services ...
