We're just come back from Santorini, wonderful little Cycladic island: we stayed at Kelenis Apartments, after making reservation via web. The apartments are quiet, clean and beautiful, linked to Ikaros hotel, located in Karterados, at the center of the island. At few steps there are buses from/to airport, Fira (the capital, full of shops and restaurants, 2 km away), Ia, and other villages and beaches of Santorini. But the best way to visit the entire island is renting a scooter or a moped.
Kelenis apartments are six and share a pool. Me and my wife had one (kitchen-dining, bedroom w/tv, bathroom w/shower, little terrace) for a week; towels and linen changes, cleaning every day, free park, breakfast: all was included in the fee and we found it absolutely convenient.
We loved our stay, thanks also to the joung manager Stathoula, always nice, helpful and hospitable; her suggestions on places to visit, restaurant for dining, etc., were definitely right and appreciated. If you want to taste very good typical dishes go to Savas Restaurant in Karterados: quality & cheap prices. In short, a stay in Santorini really beyond the expectations.

Comments:
We found Kelenis and were surprised at the price and then amazed at what we got for our money. Our host Stathoula was fantastic. She was understanding with us not making it for 3 days due to rough seas and no ferries and still had someone meet us at the port. We even had a glass of orange juice waiting when we arrived at the hotel. The breakfast was a simple greek bread and jam but also served with juice, tea, coffee and cake. Its about a 10min walk to Fira and along the way are every shop you will need including a supermarket, laundry, internet and several bakeries. Stathoula was extremely nice and helpful and even delivered our breakfast each day to our room. For a relaxing stay its a great affordable option in Santorini and if heading back would definately stay there again.

Hi Loukas & Stathoula,

I was probably one of your first guests at Kelenis when I visited very briefly a couple of summers ago. I am a friend of Maria and Francesco who made the arrangement with Loukas for my stay which was only for one night as I travelled back to Syros the next day. I do hope you remember me.

I was delighted to see on your website (which is number 1 on Google for kelenis, by the way!) that you have got married and I send you both my very best wishes for health and happiness together. You both looked great in the photo on the Kelenis website – many congratulations.

I hope you have a great summer and are really busy with lots of guests – I always tell people I meet about Kelenis and the fabulous apartments and studios you have.

With kind regards

Paul

"We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartments are almost brand new with everything we needed. Stathoula was fantastic with helping us with various things. Don't expect caldera or beach views but do expect a nice quiet area with access to everything you need including car hire, tour bookings, internet cafe and supermarket. Would definitely stay here again".

Hello:

We was there a few weeks ago and want to thank you again for your hospitality and all your help with the tours.  Your place was lovely and we enjoyed our stay very much.  Your place was one of the nicest places we stayed while in Greece, and Santorini is very beautiful. Again, thank you and hope to see you in the future.  Ivette & Edgar Paredes

"Dear Stathoula,

"We made our reservation in the apartments kelenis via web.
The owners received us a orange juice.
Mrs Stathoula gine us useful informations for the island. Where we go,
what to see, where we would eat.. We liked particularly our apartment.
They was clean, spacious, with traditional wooden furnitures. Also had
cooker, balcony and individual bathroom.
Each morning, we had our breakfast in our apartment. We used our
laptop in the reception of hotel.
Thank you Stathoula and Loukas for the hospitality.." Trip Advisor April 2008

"I discovered Kelenis Hotel Apartments via a friend of mine. She
showed me photos of the place and i decided to spend my weekly
vacations there. So, i called them and i made my reservation very
quickly and simply. Situated in a wonderful place, at the center of
the island Santorini, it was so unique to be with people ready to
service you at any time and willing to offer you any kind of
information about the island. Although im from Greece, it was the
first time in Santorini but not the last!! i loved the island and when
your stay becomes joy at a place like Kelenis Hotel Apartments, then
im sure everyone will enjoy his vacations!!!" Trip Advisor May 2008

"Went to a travel agent in Adamas on Milos to book some accomodation on Santorini. Kelenis Hotel was recommended and I remember having seen it before on the Internet under Santorini Hotels I think. The rate was 55.00 Euro for a double at low season rates.
Upon arrival and check in, Stathoula made us very welcome and showed us to a very nice 2nd floor room overlooking the pool.
The place was new, clean and very well appointed with some kitchen facilities and a nice big dining table to gather around.
Once again, the bed was on the firm side (as all hotel beds in Greece seem to be these days) but much better than too soft!
The swimming pool was a pleasure to use. Breakfast was included in the price and was simple but substantial.
Stathoula helped us with hiring a motor bike and answered any questions we had. We really sensed that she wanted to do the right thing for her guests.
All in all we had a really nice stay and felt it was very good value"

We stayed at Kelenis 2 nights in August. Like most of the people noted, Stathoula was the one greet us when we arrived. She offered us some orange juice and by the time we were done, she told us our room was ready. She escorted us to our room, showed us how to turn the electricity on and off (it was unusual, but smart way to conserve energy). She also answered all our questions about the island. We wanted to take the tour and she gave us a list of tours explaining what each of them included. It was pretty clear that if we were to start our tour from the old port, we would have to get there ourselves by foot, cable car (4 euros a person) or a dunkey. So, we ended up buying a tour that included a bus transportation from and to Kartherados. She also helped us get the bus back to the port upon departure. The breakfast was extremely basic (cereal, pound cake, bread). The room itself was nice. Even though there was a shower curtain in the bathroom, it didn't help much for the water to flow all over it. That's why there's a drain in the middle of the bathroom. Other than that, the location was quiet and not too far from Thira.
