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
