Anny Studios Perissa Beach

Overall good place for the price. Only thing I would say washroom is to small.specially the shower.

Amazing place, 4th time staying there. The staff are excellent and so caring. The hotel is right on the beach, great location. Can’t recommend enough.

Für den preis kann man okay sagen, also Preis Leistung passt

We had a wonderful stay here. The staff goes above and beyond for their guests. They are so helpful and kind. The hotel was able to secure us transportation to and from the airport for a reasonable rate. Our flight was delayed about an hour so we were worried about checking in and transportation but they were awesome about it and were waiting. We arrived late at night (after 11pm) and the area was very safe. People were strolling around the boardwalk and a few businesses were still open. The location is close to numerous restaurants and souvenir shops as well as the beach. The beach was beautiful. There is a 24 hour bakery within walking distance for late night cravings. There is a great convenience store with very low prices close by that is open during the day. Staff is very helpful to answer any questions or give recommendations. WiFi worked great, no problems. There is a washing machine for use by guests to clean laundry. There is a pool. One thing to note for anyone with mobility issues is that there are stairs throughout the property. I can't say enough good things about this hotel. I highly recommend staying here.

Voula (host) could not have been more friendly, accommodating, and extremely fun. This is a basic property that has what you need at an affordable price. If you are on a budget and need a nice place to stay with an amazing host and is very close to the beach, this is your place.

Super cute, rooms were very small though and ac was none existent

Could not fault this place. Simple, no frills place to stay. Convenient location, minutes from the black beach, restaurants and shops. Room service was great, and hotel was clean. Staff were very friendly and gave lots of information about the surrounding area and bus routes. Washing machine and iron available to use free of charge which was great. Drink and snacks available to purchase at the bar and mini markets in walking distance. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Rien à dire, tout est impeccable 👍

Nous etions 3 (2 adultes 1 enfant) Point positif : A proximité de la plage, et des restaurants, piscine et bar dans l'hôtel. Une machine a laver en libre service. Menage tout les jour dans la chambre. Climatisatoon et Serviette. Dans la chambre il y a un petit frigo et une bouilloire. Point negatif : pas d'eau potable, eau de la douche salé. Pas de store occultant donc lumiere dans la chambre des 6h30 .. les lits ne ce deplace pas, domage car mon fils tombe souvent du lit et les coller aurait permis d'eviter quelques chutes 😅 , pas de gel douche a disposition prevoir les votres.. insonorisation mauvaise. On entend les voisins .. cependant nous sommes tomber sur une semaine assez calme. Nous avons passez un agreable séjours chez Anny Studio, le personnel etait sympas et a l'ecoute, une carte avec le plan de santorin et les excursions que l'hôtel propose nous a été expliquer. Je vous recomande cette hôtel pour un sejours à Santorin à moindre coût.

Great for a brief stay if you aren’t planning to be in the room all the time. Pool is nice, reception was extremely helpful and informative about sights, beaches, buses/transit, stores, etc. AC works well. The shower is extremely small and not super functional. No toilet paper can be flushed in the toilet.

Great spot stayed. 2 days mostly was on the beach and touring around but was quiet and slept well

Cute little loft room. The lift area stays quite warm despite many attempts to get a/c to reach there. Great locale, within steps to the beach and great restaurants. The bathroom has no windows and just one dim light so very dark. Had to go purchase TP since our family of 5 went thru the 2 rolls in room quickly. The front desk is left unmanned for long periods of time so difficult to reach anyone with issues. Room very clean. Directions get you to back parking area, but with no signage for directions very difficult to find. Stopped at another hotel and they gave me directions to front entrance. Small pool, but used beach anyways. Able to drive out and see the local sights fairly easily from here.

The room was nice, but the shower is TINY! The water from the tap is salt water. You need to buy water to drink. The WIFI was practically non-existent. The location is hard to find, but it is in a nice area. It's close to the beach and restaurants.

I couldn’t have been happier with the service and the staff.

The room was small and clean and anything you might need was there. The pool is small and I would say mainly for children but there is jacuzzi as well and you can have drinks at the pool bar

The service at Anny Studios was amazing. The location is great. Perrisa Beach is a great place to stay on the island if you are trying to get away from the crowds of Oia for example. Walkable area, pool, airport/ferry port transfer and if you arrive early or need to check out before your flight/ferry, they will hold your bags for you. Staff were always accommodating, helpful and super friendly!

I was very pleased with my stay at Anny Studios. Great location near the beach.

Nous avons séjourner dans cet hôtel pour 3 nuits en famille/amis. + : Piscine agréable avec des horaires 10-22:00. Personnel pro et gentil. Bar au bord de la piscine. - : Chambre petite pour 4 personnes. Salle de bain petite et avec mauvaise odeur. Propreté laissant à désirer. Mauvais rapport qualité/prix. Je ne recommande pas cet établissement.

We stayed at this budget conscious hotel right off the black sand beach at Perissa on our first trip to Santorini. The couple that run the hotel are extremely nice and helpful. The hotel is what I would consider a three Star quality hotel in Greece and was as advertised. It is close to the bus station. Our stay was ruined by a major power outage, but that wasn’t the hotel’s fault.

It was perfect. Near the beach. The room had everything you need. The staff at the reception was very nice and helpful! And the owner was also very obliging. Loved it there.

The hotel is ideally located and the staff were wonderful. Overall it was an excellent stay.

The staff are exceptionally friendly, well organized and helpful.

It was an amazing stay! Due to my flight being delayed, I got there well after the reception hours closed. Despite that, they were kind enough to give me access to my room and I was able to sleep comfortably after a hectic day. The next morning, the staff checked me in and gave me a detailed overview of the local area, including sites to see, tours, and even the bus schedule! The room was clean and even came with cooking ware. The location was right off the beach, so that was super convenient. One minor thing was that wifi was only available in the lobby, and not in the room. I didn't really need it, so it was really a small inconvenience. I will say that if you're going to stay here, you shouldn't stay cooped up in your room surfing the web.

Overall it was good. The room was small and bathroom tiny with a very narrow shower. The floor drain was blocked so water would over flow a bit and it smelt. Pool area was nice but again narrow. Staff were helpful. Convenient spot only 30m from the beach with a huge amount of restaurants and cafes lining the beach to choose from. Quite a few small shops too.

Close to the beach, staff was helpful had a great expirience

Minutes walk to the beach, close to all restaurants! Very friendly staff. Great value

Location is right next to the Beach best value wish i had more time here

The room i was allocated on arrival was well under par for the money i paid, the room was dated,bathroom was too small,the toilet was dirty, the shower curtain was not fixed properly, rust river all down the tiles from shower taps the shower head kept falling off and to cap it off we had a ant invasion through the bathroom window on a evening. Avoid this hotel or room no1 it needs a upgrade, ideal for back packers who are not bothered were they sleep.

Location is excellent! Plenary of restaurants with good food that offer free beach chairs if you consume! All staff members were great, except for the man in the front desk during the day... very moody!!! Rooms are small but comfortable and the room for 5 people is great, but only has one bathroom.

Great location with excellent and knowledgeable staff who were always very helpful. Couldn’t ask to be any closer to the beach. Tiny shower difficult to fit in and not the greatest bed would be the only things to improve.

was very close to beach

This hotel is down an alley to the beach but has no street front to speak of. It was not easy to find. When we checked in we were 4 people and the room had 2 levels but 1 one AC and the most narrow stairs. It never got cool and the stairs were a death trap. Do not take this room! We asked to change rooms and at least they accommodated us into a connecting room. The bathrooms are so dated and not clean and there is no fresh water! The shower uses salt water so we never felt clean. We even bought bottles of water to take a shower. We also took another room for 2 people and were given a dark and dusty room. My allergies were crazy so I asked to change rooms. In the pictures you see balconies on the pool. There was one available so I asked for it and the owner said no because they are only reserved for people staying 1 week or more. Some people even had basement rooms which I would have never stayed in. As for the internet, it never worked. Do not stay here!

For my holiday to Santorini, I wanted a simple room close to the beach and that felt homey and welcoming. Anny Studios was just that. It was not a fancy place, but it has what you need and the small feel made it comfortable and welcoming. I have lived in Greece before, and the staff at Anny Studios made you feel as if you truly were in Greece despite how touristy it can get. My room was cleaned every day with the bed made and the staff was very helpful in directing you with how to do things in the area as you wanted. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Anny Studios!!

Only a short laneway from the beach and restaurants. Friendly and helpful staff. Great pool and bar.

Nice little hotel. Rooms are dated but you get what you pay for. Very loud as my room was adjacent to the stairwell, but steps to the beach and boardwalk. Staff were the best part always accommodating and happy to help.

Rooms are basic but have what you need - if anything isn't working they have it fixed the same day. Air con is good in the rooms and most have a balcony to get the evening breeze. Reception is very knowledgeable and will help you organise trips etc. The hotel is right on the main beach and restaurant area and bars with live music are also close. It can be a little noisy at night but it usually stops around midnight. Pick up service from port & airport is an absolute bonus too!

Great apartment. Really good size with fridge in room. Really close to all the local amenities. Free pick from the port

Pity that it was a very short visit due to change of timetable from Rynair airlines

I will start with positives. The room was cleaned and fresh towels priovided every day. And the location, once you manage to find the tiny lane that leads to the place, is just across from the beach. The staff were friendly. My hats the only positives I can think of. Although cleaned the studio still looked dirty and there was often a very unpleasant smell. I expected the small kitchenette, that was fine - but the cutlery provided was rusty. Literally rusty! The shower was awful, pressure really poor and I had no hot water at all for the 4 days. When I complained I was told I wa obviously first person having a shower in the morning so I'd need to run the water for at least 20 mins to heat up - it never did! My roommate on the stairs and the house was awful at times. This place is a good choice for those backpacking around otherwise, I'd avoid it.

What wasn't obvious to me until my 3rd day is that this accommodation is mixed youth hostel and hotel. I did notice almost immediately that the guests were primarily the college crowd although there were a few other groups of people in my age range (middle-aged). I ended up getting my own private room, bathroom, and queen-size bed. No different than other similar hotels that I have stayed at in in this price range. For potential guests at this hotel, please be mindful which accommodation you are booking, hostel or hotel. Some hostel rooms include up to 6 people in a shared room. There might be other rooms with more. All of the guests young and old were very nice and respectful people. My room was well insulated so going to bed before most guests, I did not hear any loud night parties. Must be ok being around a young crowd. On the plus side, a very pleasant social environment.

The staff went out of their way to help us. They helped with transportation and day excursions. They were some of the friendliest people we met in Greece. The location was perfect. The room was good for large groups of people. There were many single beds.

When we got there we didn't get the rooms we confirmed. We schedule 3 rooms we only got 2 rooms ( Accommodate all 9 of us) and paid for 3 rooms. Thanks.

Perissa is busy beach. Great for backpacking world traveler set. Nice hike to old Thira. Good food. Off-season is slow.

Antonio is a great host. He stayed up until 2 am to check me in. The transfers to the port worked perfectly and I'm grateful to Anny Studios for that complimentary service. The rooms are very basic and need some remodeling. The sewage system may also need some repair as I sensed a bad smell near the laundry area. The location is excellent just steps away from beautiful Parissa Beach.

The Anny HOTEL in Mesaria doesn't exist, but you can book it in the internet. The internet page is still active! In our case, we made a correct internet-booking-procedure. And then on date of arrival we were picked-up from the airport and the shuttle tranferred us to the Anny STUDIOS, which are at Perissa beach. So completely out of track! One week later, as we booked Anny HOTEL again, we arranged again pick-up, this time from port and then we were again transferrd to Perissa beach. As I discussed the whole issue with the receptionist, he was completely uncooperative and was not willing to pay back the amount of money, I had already paid for two persons. By the way: the studios are really not nice and not clean. So finally we checked out and went to the hotel next door! ACTUALLY I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE ZERO POINTS TO THIS HOTEL, BUT THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE! BUT PLEASE NOTE: ZERO STARS! DON'T CHOOSE THIS HOTEL!!!

The hotel is located right on the beach but the rooms were not as advertised. We were put in a side building that looked nothing like the hotels.com pictures. Bar and pool is nice, wifi only works in the lobby/pool and is sketchy. Make sure you go to Aqua restaurant on the beach, the owner is great, cheap drinks and great food. He doesn't charge for the chairs/umbrella if you spend 25euro which is easy, cold beer and great sangria.

Is was good, it is very good location. Need to be mantained, kitchen was old and rusted. Walter preasure was terrible. Anyway the pool is very good and so is wifi.

We spent 4 nights at Anny Studios and wished we had stayed longer. The room was clean, spacious, comfortable and felt safe. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and we cannot praise them enough. We had breakfast at the hotel twice which was fair especially for what it included. The poolside bar was also very fair in price and was a nice place to relax before bed, as well as the reception room which had movies running, books and board games. Location amazing, across the road from the beach but not too touristy (just enough). Wifi great, laundry service was a nice addition as well. Generally more suited to younger travellers or couples. Shower a little cramped but nothing compared to an overall amazing stay. Thanks again.

very close to the beach and restaurants on the ''boardwalk". anny studios helped provide transportation and connections to the things we wanted to do - rent ATVs, visit Fira at night, etc. i wish they had better internet service - but we're on an island - what can you do?

We had a great stay, it was quiet during the early season (we arrived just after Easter weekend) Some shops and restaurants were just getting prepared to open and other accommodations were doing renovations and repairs before the busy season.

We booked 1 night in August for a quad for 50 euros. The room was pretty basic but very clean. For the price it was very good value. There is a supermarket and bakery across the street which we found very handy. Parking was a little tough as their parking lot isn't very big so we parked up the street in another parking lot with no problem.

Transfer from airport to the Anny Hotel was fine. On arrival we were taken to a double room although we had booked a quadruple. Although clean the room was past its sell by date and needs some repairs as well as rejuvenation. The pool that appears in the hotel advert was not in operation but there was no mention of a discount due to this important facility not being available in late June. The location of the hotel although very convenient for all parts of the island, it not the most attractive of areas. A major crossroads makes it a noisy, smelly and dirty place. I see litle likelihood of a major investment being found for the hotel and I can see it remaining like it is for some time to come

The apartment was small, but adequate. Cooking facilities limited. BUT free Wifi in your room, free laundry facilities and absolutely wonderful, friendly service. On our last night the staff had a barbecue and the guests in the bar were given a plate each. The location is superb, a very short walk from the beach and in easy reach of restaurants, bars and shops. I highly recommend Anny's Studios.

We are a family with 2 kids. The studio has own swimming pool and is also near by the beach. So our kids play very happily everyday. The staffs are also very nice and considerable. I will suggest all people that this is a good place to live!

We came in on a ferry at 1:00 am in the morning when our ferry was suppose to dock at 10:30, but we were pleasantly surprised when there was a van ready to carry passengers staying at one of the two Anny hotels on the island. The hotel is about a half block from the ocean, but for the price and close proximity to restaurants and shops - it was perfect for us. The hotel had a "hostel" feel - many of the guest would hand out in the lobby/bar and it was a fun and friendly place. They also had a washing maching for travelers - which was a great convenience for us. Then hotel staff was absolutely great at helping to book tours, scooters or coordinating transport to various activities. We would definately stay again!

Anny Studios is such a perfect place to stay when visiting Santorini; it is literally feet from the ocean and a beautiful beach, in one of the more relaxed areas of Santorini (so not too much noise), right next to great hiking trails, and surrounded by absolutely delicious restaurants. The staff are so kind and helpful, the hotel is immaculately clean, comfortable, and the pool, bar and lounge are all very nice. They'll also make you a lovely espresso freddo or late night snack. Thank you Anny Studios!

We stayed at Anny hotel at the end of August 2011. The hotel is old and very run down. It is obvious that there has not been any work done on this hotel since it was built (maybe back in the late 60's / 70's). In view of this the rooms are very very basic in decor and also have old furniture (not retro style) and beds. The bathroom (shower room) had a very strong sewer smell, which was coming up through the floor drain and the shower drain (this was overcome with wet towels over the drains). The cheap plastic toilets seat was broken. The outside balcony had broken tiles and the adjoining area was very much in need of a wash down, simply with a mop and detergent. The pool area looked ok, but there was again a very strong sewer smell in the air. The location is not good, especially if you do not have your own transport. There are a couple of taverna's within a few hundred metre's and opposite is a supermarket and bakers. On a plus side A/C was in the room rate, a small tv was in the room and bedding and towels were clean. This hotel is in need of some major referb work. My recommendation is to AVIOD. Lastly DONT mix up Anny hotel with Anny Studio's - two totally different accommodation and locations!

We booked this hotel in error thinking it was the sister studios on the Perissa Beach. No. This is the one a few km inland. In the middle of and urban sprawl, on a busy road, and a good drive away from any beaches. This however were the least of the problems, It is a disgusting place. Falling to pieces for the want of a lot of neglected basic maintenance. Stinking drains, ramshackle rooms and totally soulless and depressing. One good thing was the good efforts by the cleaning lady who always had clean sheets and towels ready and did her best in very difficult circumstances. Shame on the management here who sat around drinking frappe and watching football rather than actually running the place and dealing with they tenfold problems. This place needs either flattening a rebuilt or gutted and refurbished to be habitable. DONT GO!

We are a young couple on a tight budget and stayed in some low places but even accommodation in Guantanamo Bay would be better than this!   From the moment you're met at the hotel, you'll get a good indication of how your stay is going to pan out. Upon paying, I was asked for my passport.. I put my handbag on the floor to search for it and quickly found it only to look up to find the woman serving me had her crotch in my face as she clambered over me to meet her friend, who she spent the next five minutes chatting to while I stood there apparently non existent. Let me dot point for you the things wrong with the hotel. *the whole hotel screams the '70's not in a chic re revival kind of way, like it hasn't been cared for in the past 40 years gone. *the communal pool is impressive but you Have your very own in the shower as it doesn't drain properly but don't be fooled into thinking the water pressure is worth writing home about! It's dismal to say the least and take a pick if you'd like scalding hot or Atlantic cold, there's no in between!! I didn't dare go without thongs! *drainage or piping let's out a god awful smell - and this is pre boyfriend collateral damage! * the toilet seat was cracked the whole way round! Not great on sunburnt bums/ thighs!!!! *there is a balcony but the tiles are all cracked. The location is as described but for those not familiar with the area it's kind of a half way point between fira and perissa so unless you have your own transport there'd be no point staying here. The list goes on and on and on. In short, do everything you can to miss this god damn place!

The staff were very helpful and friendly and whilst this is not a 5 Star hotel we found it perfect for our needs. It was 1 minutes walk to the beach and restaurants and the staff went above and beyond with transfers to and from the airport and port. If you are looking for clean and comfortable accommodation with no frills we couldn't recommend this enough. The free wifi was also a bonus.

Great service from beginning to end. They even accommodated our odd travel schedule and their driver picked us up at the airport at 6 AM one day and dropped us off at 10 PM when we were going out. All for no extra charge. Helpful staff We had a great time from Wayne and family

We stayed here in July 2009 and booked this hotel based on the description and pictures on the website and the price at the time of booking. As we were all students we weren't expecting anything too fancy but this place was horrific. We originally had two rooms, both on the ground floor, one was dark and smelled disgusting while the other one was very small with a double bed and a set of very old bunk beds crammed in. The group in the first room complained to management and were moved to a slightly better room on a different floor. Having gotten over the initial shock of the place we were all happy that the pool area seemed nice. This was not the case. The pool was quite dirty and the staff who were meant to clean it, were seen on more than one occasion, throwing beer bottles into the pool that were then left in it. We quickly realised that the size of the room wasn't the only problem; the bathroom was so dark that it was almost impossible to see anything, even with the light on and when someone used the shower it would flood the whole bathroom and the water would run out into the bedroom under the door. The lighting was extremely poor, once it started to get dark it made it very hard to see what you were doing. As mentioned previously, our room was located on the ground floor. Our balcony faced out towards the pool and anyone was able to hop over the balcony (which wasn't very high) and open the sliding door which was not very secure. One night when we were in our room someone tried to open the main door into our room using a key, this made us even more worried about the safety of our personal belongings. As a result of this we would lock away any important belongings in a suitcase before going anywhere. The staff were very rude and unfriendly and provided no assistance to us when we struggled up the steep steps to the reception with our suitcases, in the end another resident staying in the hotel offered to help us. On a couple of occasions when we were sitting on our balcony, the staff who were 'cleaning' the pool area shouted unpleasant remarks at us and were very unprofessional. Overall this hotel was a disaster, I would not recommend it to anyone. The facilities and staff leave a lot to be desired. If you do end up here, on the plus side the bus stop is just outside so you can spend as little time in the place as possible.

Due to flight cancellation we were to be put up at this "hotel" overnight by our airline. To our horror the room we were given was already occupied by alternative guests - the resident cockroaches! The room was far from clean. The bathroom had an over powering stench of the sewers, such that I almost collapsed and my friend was physically sick. The corridors had the distincive aroma of a male public lavatory. Grafitti adorned the doors. Our room overlooked the swamp/pool, which could only be described as a breeding ground for disease. The hotel gave an overall impression of neglect and apathy. The receptionist appeared resigned to it all and did not appear in the least suprised when we checked out as soon. as possible!

This was not a good place to stay. I never swam in the pool or ate there. I only slept on the uncomfortable bed. I barely spoke to anybody who worked there. It is old and lacking in charm, poorly located, poor amenities, poor service. I can't actually think of anything good to say. I just slept there and spent every day out and about on my motorbike because the hotel was horrible.

Anny Hotel, is a great place. Good pool at the sea facing side porch. Rooms are ok (not great). We had aprobelm with the air conditioning initially. Bathrooms have no/very little exhaust system. Staff was great, and helped a lot in getting us the best of our trip experience in terms of roaming aroud and helping with maps n all.

The staff were not very friendly or helpful at the front desk. The rooms were awful! We were placed in the basement where all the rooms had this terrible smell of sewage and damp. They were also dark and very cramped. It was literally choking. We thought we could put up with it but I ended up getting sick from the smell. We managed to change rooms to a slightly bigger one but the smell was still in the room. There was also no working telephone in the rooms, no TV and the location wasn't great as you had to catch buses to everywhere. Luckily we were able to buy food at the supermarket across the road and at the corner bakery. The pool didn't look clean so we didn't even bother with it. We met other guests and they all complained about the smell, it seemed to come up the shower drains so there must be a big sewer problem. It's overpriced for what you get, don't stay here at all!

Definitely do not book this hotel. It would be ok if it wasn't so overpriced for what is offered. There are so many hotels in better parts of Santorini for much cheaper (as I found out when I left this hotel for another after one day). This hotel is not only very ordinary, it is also located in an extremely isolated area and the only way to get anywhere, is by bus. Nothing within walking distance. There is NOTHING positive about this place.

We are a familiy of 4 people, the boys are now 12 and 15 years. We have travelled different places in Greece for the last 10 years. We were aware that because Hotel Anny was situated away from the sea, we made a depend that the hotel should have a good pool for the boys. We were assigned to at room in the basement, smelling disgusting of sewer and moisture, the interieur was very worn out and the room was situated beside rubbish. The pool was unacceptabel dirty and the poolbar was hided behind boards. We went to the reception, we complained about the room and after some time, we were assigned to another room, also in the basement and not better than the other room. We are not just a young couple, we have 2 children to take care of and this condition we just couldn´t do to them. The result of a lot af phonecalls: the manager of the hotel refused to pay us our money (515 euro) back. Instead he offered us 2 nights at his hotel Anny in Perissa. We waited for several hours to get a transport by the hotel bus from Messaria to Perissa. In Perissa, we were assigned to a room like the one in Messaria, in the basement, with coakroaches, worn out interieurs, a rusty refrigerator who couldn´t close and the drains were clogged up. We stayed only one night and for the rest 6 days of our holiday we had to pay for another hotel. On the internet the describtion says:;"If you want your holidays to be comfortable and luxurious, our hotel will surely meet up to your standards. Marvellous swimmingpool, rooms with seaview." After our holiday we have tried to complain to the manager of the hotel, to get some money refund, but get´s no answers.... Don´t stay there.....

We booked a stay at Anny Studios (apparently 20m from the beach) and was given a room at Hotel Anny in the middle of the island, far far away from anywhere remotely useful. Payment was up front so by the time we realised where we were it was too late to get a refund. The pool was green and there was a bar next to it, however it's hours seem to be governed by the person behind the bar. Supermarket across the road seemed to save the day. Staff seemed to think that there was no difference between a hotel on the beach and one miles from it. Forget about it. Stick with some hotel where you know there's only one location.

When we arrived we did not feel greeted or welcomed. The lady gave us trouble about using credit cards and we would have to pay 100% more for her to accept a credit card payment. So nevermind we paid in cash. Then you basically don't see any staff because they are watching tv in one of the suites, not at the check-in counter. The room was nice, it had a kitchenette, and a balcony. Nothing spectacular. I woule have to say the only great thing about this place is that it's location was great! The beach was right there! But Perissa is gorgeous! It has black hot sand and it is amazing! The restaurant in front of Anny studios is beach front and has wonderful service and food! Charlina Restaurant. They gave us complemetary wine, ouzo, and desert! Absolutely wonderful. There were also bon-fires on the beach at night and good pubs to go and relax. We went on a tour to the volcano and the hot springs, it was great! But I would recommend only going to the volcano and hot springs, and not to the island after that. We did and you are basically stuck on this island for 2 hours just so that you spend some money on the island. And all there is to do for 2 hours is sit on the rocky beach have lunch at a restaurant and nothing beyond that. Yes don't get m wrong it is beautiful but definitly 2 hours is way too long to be there! So if you can just do the volcano and hot springs and that's it! I didn't get a chance to go to Akrotiri, it is closed on Mondays. But we did talk to some other people ho did make it and they said it was kind of a waste because at the moment there is construction all around it so you can't really see anything very well. The bus to Fira is very easy and to get to the Port you do have to go into Fira and then take another bus back to the Port. Although we didn't do that, we just took the bus from Perissa and got out at the Port drive and took a cab down to the Port. The bus to Fira is about 3euro and also 3euro back down to the Port. Whereas the bus to the Port drive is 1euro, and the taxi was 5euro. Eventhough it all works out to cost the same the differnce is the time you waste going into Fira just to go back the same way towards the Port.

We stayed at this super cheap hotel in September 2003. The staff was virtually hostile. The room was fine, (what can you expect fo 25$ a night), but we met some people down the hall that had a problem with the toilet backing up and nobody came to fix it for quite a while!! the pool was great. The cafe was fine. Really though, the staff was nasty, right from the get go. We felt like we had done something horribly wrong the minute we checked in. Heard similar stories from other guests.

We stayed at the Hotel Anny in August 2003. The rooms are very shabby and were dirty when we arrived (take your own bleach etc!). There are problems with the eucalyptus tree roots growing into the sewerage pipes which causes the sewerage to back up into the rooms. When we first arrived we thought it was the hotel from hell, but it turned out to be the best holiday we have ever had due to the people we met. Although the hotel is well below standard in many respects we found the pool area to be clean and pleasant due to the hard work of the 'pool man', and the cleaner tried her best. Messaria is an ideal base to explore this magnificent island, and the hotel is opposite a bakery/supermarket/bus stop. There are a few tavernas and one excellent pizzaria. It is cheaper to eat out in Messaria than anywhere else in Santorini. In fairness to the staff at the hotel they did let us use their barbeque for our 'Little England' party night by the pool.
