Villa Irini is a beautiful place with exquisite views of the sunset, seat and surrounding areas. It’s a 30 minute walk to Fira and a 10 minute walk to Lidl supermarket. Ilias is the taxi driver that has links with the Villa and is great, €15 to take you into Fira and a quick WhatsApp of when you would like picking up, always on time and very polite. The Villa itself is a lot closer to the main road than we anticipated however, with the windows and doors shut you could hardly hear a thing. The Villa we had was right next to the swimming pool with little privacy (this isn’t clear in the photos) however, the pool was rarely used and we hardly saw anyone. We only had breakfast at the Villa and it was beautiful, a variety of selection with the Greek yogurt and fruit a winner in our eyes. Maria and the other lady on reception were warm, lovely and on hand to sort out any issues you had. They sorted out transport for us from the airport to the Villa at short notice. It was the perfect place that’s just out of the hustle and bustle of Fira but close enough to enjoy everything Santorini has to offer. We would definitely recommend and would stay here again.
Our favourite place to eat was in Oia, Ammoundi Fish Tavern, the food was unbelievable, the view amazing and the service fantastic.
2nd was La Collinne in Fira, secluded spot with 5-6 tables for couples overlooking the se and sunset. The food and service was second to none and the Santorini Volcano desert is truly special!
