We have just spent two fantastic weeks on the amazing island of Santorini in Studios Oceanis Bay in Kamari. The owner Vaggelis is so kind, friendly, helpful and welcoming we felt at home as soon as we arrived. He arranged for an airport transfer for us when we arrived (€15) and was waiting for us and welcomed us with some beers. He recommended restaurants nearby and lots of places to visit on the island and was so friendly and chatty asking us about where we’d been each day, he even gave us a bottle of wine made by his father and drove us to the airport himself for our flight home. Any queries we had such as with the wireless internet password Vaggelis sorted out for us straight away. Vaggelis speaks excellent English and also several other languages. The studios are situated in a beautiful garden overlooking Kamari beach which is literally on the doorstep and are a wonderful place to watch the stunning sunrise! We stayed in the middle studio on the ground floor and loved sitting on our veranda in the mornings and evenings looking out at the garden and the Aegean sea. The studio itself is clean, comfortable and spacious with a kitchenette, bathroom, TV, air conditioning, safe and wireless internet access. The studios were cleaned everyday by a very nice lady who was very patient when we got up late lots of days and she had to wait for us!!! In Kamari there is the beautiful beach with a watersports centre, lots of restaurants and tavernas, cafés, bars, shops and supermarkets. You can also get the bus to Fira and Oia which are beautiful towns high on the cliff above the caldera with lots more restaurants, bars and shops, stunning views and spectacular sunsets. There are also many places to visit on the island to see the traditional and authentic Santorini such as Pyrgos and Ancient Thera and Vaggelis recommended the best wineries for us to visit. This is without doubt the best self-catering accommodation we have ever stayed in and that’s all down to Vagellis’ warm hospitality. We had an unforgettable holiday on the beautiful island of Santorini, we would not hesitate to recommend Studios Oceanis Bay and we are looking forward to staying there again sometime in the future. Ευχαριστώ πολύ Vagellis!
