Zacharo Rooms, affectionately known as Jimmy's (after the owner) by those who came, saw, and were conquered by it. Jimmy and his wife Roula are very generous with their hospitality. You are staying in a guest house on the edge of the village built on the rim of an extinct, or hopefully dormant, volcano.Step out of your room and from the veranda/balcony you have a complete view of the caldera with Santorini directly opposite. Wake up early and watch the sun rise behind Santorini and set the sea inside the caldera on fire. Turn around in the evening and watch the sun plunge into the Aegean as it sets the sky on fire. It's quite on Thirassia. Cars are few and far between, one taxi, no hordes of roaming tourists. This is a great place for long walks, for contemplation and inspiration.

The pick up driver was already at the airport when we got there.

We stayed at Petinos House for 3 nights in May 2024 and had a fabulous time. We couldn't fault the accommodation. It's an old fisherman's cottage full of character and was very well appointed, clean and comfortable. The real wow factor for us though was the location of the cottage on the beach front in Korfos, with stunning views from the terrace to the front during the day and at night, with the lights of Fira twinkling across the bay. Korfos is busy during the day with various tourist boats stopping off but is quiet during the evenings. Which brings up the matter of eating options. There are probably 10 or more restaurants in Korfos but they were all pretty much closed in the evenings after the tourist boats have left. Whether that changes later in the season I can't say. The restaurant next door (the Windmill) oversees Petinos' house and offered us the option of eating there after the restaurant had technically closed and we had a couple of lovely mesls there (swordfish - yum!) There are a few restaurant up in the village of Manolas (we didn't eat there, so no recommendations) and the many steps up to Manolas will become familiar to you if you stay for a few days! ;) We did two fabulous walks while we were there, which show you a lot of the island. 1/ Up the steps to Manolas (a quaint little village of fisherman's houses) then following the road down the hill west to the equally quaint village of Potamos, and north to the village of Riva Cove. There are a couple of restaurants here, and we ate at the Agistri restaurant, a lovely traditional Greek taverna where owner Nikos treated us to ouzo, raki, wine and fabulous Greek hospitality! We had a lunch of fresh sardines, okra, etc., then caught the late afternoon ferry back to Korfos. We can't recommend this restaurant highly enough! 2/ Up the steps to Manolas, the south to Panayia, a church/monastery on the southern tip of the island.

The road out of there.

It was nice place and a very big room which was comfortable. The only thing was that we had a room right next to reception and we could here everything all day long. It was really annoying with sleep.

Location Clean

Hotel leta is extremely central right in the heart of Fira. The room was so clean and tidy couldn’t have asked for better. The staff kept the room tidy and brought in fresh towels and water every day it was really lovely.

The staff were wonderful, friendly, and very helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The befroom, bathroom and balcony was spacious and comfortable. The team really looked after us, gave us a lovely complimentary bottle of wine and a wonderful upgrade for a couple of nights to a deluxe suite in their sister hotel as we were celebrating our silver wedding anniversary. Thank you so much.

Lovely room overlooking pool, we had 3 rooms all different slightly but all looked newly decorated

Walking distance from the tourist attraction , The property is very clean. Light breakfast is included withouth extra charge. Room was cleaned everyday. Highly recommended! Thank you Villa Rose ❤️
