Words cannot describe this luxury place! Aspaki Apartments are four luxury units built on a tiny "peninsula" section of the old village of Ia. Each "apartment" has a theme, and we stayed in the top apartment called "Endless Blue." It was built in the traditional style and decorated with antiques. The queen-size bed was on a loft above the living room. A small kitchen was modern in every way with a window view of the Caldera below. The huge deck had views of the Caldera, Ia on both sides, Fira in the distance, and a fabulous sunset over Ia. The sun rose on one side of the deck and set on the other, so it is one of few locations in Ia that has sun all day long. The bathroom had a traditional shower where there are no walls at all, it is just in the corner of the bathroom itself.

The young man who worked there, Mr. Mali, and the owner, Dimitrius, were attentive and wonderful all week. We did not want for a thing. Aspaki Apartments sits in one of the most photographed spots in Ia. The other apartments are Romeo and Juliet, Deep Blue, and Atmospherico -- each one is special!
