I definitely recommend renting a vehicle in Santorini. It seems they had a pretty decent bus schedule, but we liked having the flexibility to come and go as we wanted with our own rental. 'Hotel Best' was in the perfect location for our family. It was a 2-minute walk to the beautiful black sand beach, restaurants, and shopping. Drive to the 'Light House' was about a 25-minute drive.....amazing views from the Light House. Made a day of driving to the Oia and the blue roof area. Spent our day walking around the shops in Oia and eating the delicious food. Spent another day in the town of Fira. Wonderful, friendly people everywhere. Again, 'Hotel Best' is a great place to make your 'home base' in Santorini. The price is right, and the location is perfect. The decor is a little dated but after a long day of sightseeing and hiking up all those hills the beds are comfy, cozy. Thank you Hotel Best for making our first trip to Greece a wonderful experience and amazing family memories. Fred Chandler, Arizona USA
