Next on the agenda were villa inspections. Started with Astarte, sister villa to Kerithium, with a shared pool: same high standard with lots of white and teak furniture.
Very stylish, open floor plan, well-equipped kitchen, bathrooms with sunken tubs and exposed stone, marble handcarved Greek designs in floor, pretty garden, satellite
TV, DVD, stereo, and great views.
The foursome of Phoebe, Artemis (all on one floor), Leto & Asteria followed. These are all 3-bedroom villas and share one large (deep) pool between the 4 of them. Same style and high standards throughout. Neptunea was next, just below Kerithium. This villa works well for a family - all on one floor and large pool area. |
 Village of Oia, Santorini |

For dinner, had a late reservation at N'ammos, a trendy restaurant directly on Psarou Beach, with great music, service and dˇcor. As the night progressed, more traditional Greek music was played, at which point the large tables of locals would start dancing and singing. | |
 A taverna in Kamari, Santorini |
On Saturday, we saw Alisahnea & Okyroe, also part of Parenthesis-these are 2 beautiful villas which work well for a large group.
Sunset views, great art and furnishings, and in a very breezy area. Alisahnea works best as a 4-bedroom (although it has an additional
small 2-bedroom studio sharing a bath. This studio can only be rented when clients rent Okyroe and Alisahnea together). Okyroe works
best as a 3-bedroom.
Dinner that night was at Sea Satin Market (also known as Caprices) on the harbor in Little Venice, just below the famous five windmills - hasn't changed much since I was here in 2001 (some might recognize this restaurant from the closing scene of "The Bourne Identity"). |
| I recommend the grilled octopus or sea bass, and for dessert, the puff pastry with fresh blackberries. A stroll through the winding streets of Mykonos town (Hora) followed, with a stop at "El Pecado" on the harbor. This was the "it" place for music & ambience -. Hayden recommends clients call him in advance to reserve a table so they'll have their own private waiter. | |

Sunday started off with brunch at Apollonia Bay restaurant, followed by a swim at the brand-new pool at Villa Kerithium. I later joined the rest of the crew at Agios Ioannis beach,
where we rented beach chairs & umbrellas (inexpensive) and lunched at Manoulas, one of 2 tavernas on the beach. At night, a little shopping and dinner at Spilia, a small
family run restaurant I discovered while here in 2000. The food is homecooked and reasonable, and surely has the best moussaka on the island. Tried to order their
acclaimed flan dessert, but due to popular demand, they were out of it - maybe next time! Hopped in a 5-euro cab and 10 minutes later, I was home. next >> |
