Good Points
Near to the town centre and very clean.
Bad Points
Looks a bit scruffy and the adjoined motorbike hire shop was off-putting.
General Comments
The Andreas Studios apartments we were in were spacious (if somewhat spartan), clean and had large balconies. However, we heard rumour that some of the rooms were very small. The pool area was cramped, but the pool itself was very good - a good size and very clean.
We were very disappointed when we first arrived on Santorini. The area to the south west of the island is flat and barren, with large areas of scrub land and very little vegetation. However, we went up to the north and it is very beautiful indeed. The views over the caldera are some of the most awe inspiring I have ever seen.
The people were lovely, especially Palos in the Summertime bar in Perissa!! God's Garden was a good restaurant but the best was on the right hand side of the road going south about 20 metres from the News Bar on the opposite side of the road.
The best place to stay on the island would be Oia, but it is very expensive.
