We just returned from our visit to Santorini. Our villa, Mansion Kiani was located in the small town Megalochori. Our transfer to and from the airport was part of the package. Very convenient and prompt. When we arrived at the scenic small town of Megalochori, we were greeted by, Jackie, who provided us a tour of our Villa. It was very private and safe, needing a key to enter the courtyard. The views were just like the pictures we saw online, beautiful church and the surrounding town. There were four people in our party and each couple had their own room and a key to secure our belongings. In the king suite there was a safe for our valuables. Within the courtyard there was a pool and an area with comfortable seating. A few steps, and I'm not kidding, away was the town center. The center had a mini market for water and food, four or five restaurants and local wares or shops. It was so convenient to just grab breakfast or dinner. The villa also came with a car. My husband obtained an international drivers license. It was great to have a vehicle to travel from town to town, taxis can be expensive. The best part of this location was to experience the culture. Every morning at breakfast, an elderly lady would sit in a chair, provided by the restaurant, watch and gab with the locals, once bringing fresh basil to the location to use in their dishes. We travelled to Fira and Oia, where it was extremely crowded to come back to a beautiful and quiet place to relax. Loved every minute of our stay.
