What a location! Lovely views across the Calderas from the balcony. Our suite was very spacious, the staff were lovely, helpful when needed. The breakfast was great, we ate on our balcony once for the hell of it but poolside for the rest of the week. Megalochori is a lovely town, not too busy but plenty of nice places to eat out. Buses make it easy to visit the rest of the island. We visited Fira (not my cup of tea), Oia, very pretty but busy and Akrotiri which we enjoyed. The gym was well stocked including a decent rowing machine and TCC if that's your thing... Definitely recommend staying here.
