E V E L I N A ' S PENSION & GUESTHOUSE ------------------------ BLACK SAND ESSENCE -----Where the whisper of the sea meets the first ray of the sun

If you’re looking for a relaxing beachside holiday on a budget this is the place to be - 5 minutes walking from the beach, 2 minutes from bakeries, grocery stores, restaurants, even a laundromatttt and places to book excursions. I didn’t have to worry about a thing when I was there because Kostas the host took care of everthing and made sure my stay was perfect, comfortable and relaxing. I booked the double room deluxe and it looked just like the photos - a beautiful shower with hot water always working, mini fridge, kettle, hair dryer, air conditioner and a small tv with some Greek channels and even some English shows playing. The property has a terrace as well so you can sit outside and drink some wine after a day of sun tanning on the beach and eating at the nearby restaurants - all along the main stretch of road near the accommodation. There is a bus stop across the street that can take you to fira and then oia to catch the sunset, as well as other villages like Pyrgos etc. plus lots of stores selling souvenirs, clothes etc that are much cheaper than elsewhere on the island. If you want a beach side holiday with no worries or hassle book here, kostas the host will make sure you have the best holiday ever!

That I couldn’t stay longer!

The location is excellent right next to the beautiful beach. The accommodation is very nice and cozy, and the host is absolutely charming and incredibly welcoming.

Everything is fine. The facilities may not be the most modern but they are fine, and I believe the price-quality ratio is good.

Kostas was an amazing host. Always checking I was OK Arranged taxi to collect me from airport and gave me tips on what to do and where to go. Bed very comfortable. 2 mins walk to beach, restaurants and bars. Bus stop outside apartments. Thank you Kostas for a wonderful 4 days.

Nothing

Location was very good, close to the beach and restaurants. The owner was very friendly, kind and helpful. He has a lot of knowledge of the area and the best places to visit and is a very nice guy.

The bathroom was old with rusty fittings and just didn't feel very clean. The photos of the bathroom on the site were different from the actual bathroom we had.
