This house was perfect for taking daily trips to local gorges and beaches. Also I birded the general area and experienced numerous residential and migratory species including bee-eaters. Used the outdoor grill several times and we walked to local beech for exercise. Vangelis was a solid host and gave me good information regarding this locale.

What a lovely villa in the hills! The presentation, cleanliness and attention to detail was very good. The owner welcomed us on arrival and we had excellent communication throughout the stay. Regular cleans and the pool was kept spotless. The villa is not far from the beach 1.5km, but it is down a steep hill which the kids would not have managed on foot in the heat. However, the beach by the 3 Tavernas is beautiful, sandy, clean and lovely for snorkelling. The tavernas all have good local fresh food at good prices. The snack bar was great, cheap and the staff so friendly.
The bonus for the accommodation from the kids point of view was the smart TV and air con which worked well.
Make sure you look at the night sky when the lights go out… so many stars! Wonderful family time away in a great villa.

This villa is fantastic. It is beautifully furnished and well maintained there is none of the wear and tear you see in many villas.
The host Vaggelis was very friendly and a really nice guy. The pool was cleaned daily and a cleaner called every 3 days providing fresh bedding and towels. The cleaner lives very close by which is really handy if after too much Rakki you lock yourself out 🙄 sorry!
The village is very quiet and a car is recommended to see the island. A few minutes drive and you are at the beach with a selection of restaurants and a supermarket. I don't often do this but to avoid disappointment avoid Tiannhe.... There is a small job just a 2 minute walk from the villa which also serves lovely coffee and fresh orange juice.
A great place... Great owner and lots of lovely homemade Orange cake (which we finished on the plane Vaggelis) Thanks for your hospitality.
