The Atlantis Beach Villa is a nice place. We had a deluxe room with a great view across the pool to the beach. Our room was small but clean; the bathroom was very small. There's a good pool. It’s not massive but fine. Use of sun-beds by the pool and on the beach is free for those staying here. The pool bar is great for drinks and snacks with very nice staff. The wifi is "open" and can be flakey. You get a good buffet breakfast, available 8-10am. Scrambled egg (cold), little chippolatas, muesli, yoghurt, fruit, coffee, cold meats and cheese, bread, etc. Important if you're thinking of going HALF-BOARD. The restaurant is not on-site, but a 10- to 15-minute walk away. Half-board coupons have to be collected daily from the villas' reception and handed in to restaurant staff when you enter. The Atlantis restaurant was nice and half-board saved us some money, and the issue of having to choose where to eat every night - we're not very good at choosing - but there's a hundred places to eat along the seafront, so you're not short of options. The menu has a fairly decent selection, but some meals seemed better than others. Lunch and dinner menus were the same. Did we get the same as walk-in “paying" customers? We weren't sure. When walking to the restaurant you also have to pass other restaurants where staff will attempt to persuade you in. This isn't that big-a big deal - these are mostly family businesses trying to get by, after all - just smile and say no thanks. But it is a bit of a pain to be approached _every_ time. It can be very dark in places along the seafront road. Drink only bottled water in Santorini and don't flush toilet paper; put it in the bathroom bin instead. This is because Greek sewage pipes are very narrow and easily blocked. It feels very wrong at first but you soon get used to it. Busses to Fira are good, and fun, with connections to everywhere else on the island. We also did an excursion with tui culminating in a sunset at Oia. It was a decent day out for the money, but you'll need to be able to walk on uneven ground and climb a lot of steps, usually in high temperatures. If you want to lie by a pool and sun then this is a good place. The people are very friendly and we had a decent break. A word on the weather: it can be very windy! And a chilly wind too. Bring a hoody, and something for rain just in case: as I write, it's absolutely chucking it down outside.
