Hotels near Santorini International Airport - JTR, Fira

This is a very special old house from the nineteen century which has been renovated with tremendous taste and respect for the original structure by Anna. The house features a very special cupole-cross-like structure to better resist to earthquakes. The ceiling in the middle of the bedroom is probably more than 4 meters high... The village Mesa Goniá still preserves some of the original atmosphere. With a 15 minutes walk from the house, mostly between vineyards, you can visit the magnificent Panagia Episcopi a beautiful small church dating back to the XI century. Anna drove us to a breakfast place nearby. The night before she insisted to drive us to the nearby restaurant (we eventually decided to walk)... She has been incredibly kind to us and all three of us found chatting with her very stimulating

The outdoor space makes it so comfortable for kids. we loved the sauna and swimming pool. the host even out in a brand new outdoor umbrella to make it more comfortable for us to use the outside area

Near the apartment, there was a fantastic restaurant and a lovely bakery. Everything was absolutely wonderful. If I ever come back, it will definitely be here. The refreshing jacuzzi was amazing, and the hosts were incredible. I love this place!

Fira is awesome! I personally liked it better than Oia. Great shops, food, and things to do! Many lovelt restaurants are in walking distance, and this includes formal, sit-down places and also to-do, take away spots. It feels very safe! It is clean. Fun night life is you are looking for it but also easy to relax in your own place and not feel bothered by nightlife. Things to do include: Hiking to Oia (see note below), beaches (black sand is so cool!), horse riding on the beach, renting atv/scooter, shopping, cooking class, boat ride, Amoundi Bay & cliff jumping near Oia port (see note below). *Hiking to Oia: super cool!! Highlyt recommend if you liking hiking. Wear sneakers at a minimum (no sandals), terrain can be rocking at times, lots of dust, lots of ups and down hills. Go early in the day!! It gets hot fast and you feels it durig the walk. *Amoundi Bay & cliff jumping: you have to go down many steps to get to the port of Amnoubdi Bay...From the main area of Ammoudi Bay, continue walking past the seafood tavernas along a rocky dirt path. There is a gate up but people just walk around it. The beach is small and rocky. It gets busy quickly, Its easy to get into the water there however because it is quite shallow. The cliff jumping is fun! You have to swim out and climb up to get to the platform but easy enough for children to do! Favorite spots: coffe = coffee lab; quick food place = Yogi ; restaurant (greek food) = triana taverna

Fairly quiet and laid back village within around 20 minutes walk of Fira. Bus took around 10 minutes into Fira cost was 4 euros. Lots of lovely places to eat in the village, we preferred this to going into Fira as it was so bust there.
