We enjoyed our stay in Santorini. The Afrodete is just off the main road in Fira, and close to multiple tasty restaurants. You do not need to eat on the Caldera side unless you just want the sunset view. You are right on the edge of town, and thus away from the crazy crowds, which we liked. The room was clean and comfortable, serviced daily for clean towels and similar. There is a little plunge pool/spa for an afternoon cool off. The pool is a shared space, but has 4 sun chairs and was never full. The room included a mini-fridge which was great for keeping bottled water cold and a spot for our breakfast yogurts. The property has a spot to hang wet clothes if you wash anything (like swim suits). There is a steep driveway to get to the front of the property, but we found a back way from above that works great if you are coming down from Fira. There is a bus stop nearby, but that line only runs once an hour, pretty easy to walk down hill to the main bus station to get to places like Oia and the ferry port. If you have luggage, would recommend you take a shared taxi from the port to the hotel ($20 for 2 people) and then you can do the bus back to port for only $5 for 2 people. The staff at Afrodete was lovely, they helped us check bus schedules, provided pool towels and daily greetings as we came and went. They also rescued our clothes from the line before the rain! We would stay here again, it was quiet, cool and comfortable for a 5 day stay.
