I stayed for 5 days in the Katerina Caldera View Studio which overlooked the beautiful Aegean Sea with the sunset directly in front of the property. It was quiet and peaceful compared to the tourist packed Fira which was 15-20min walk away. The owners treated us like family and welcomed us. The property provided free breakfast and free mini bar. I enjoyed the sunset from the balcony with a beer. Highly recommended place!
