Beautiful villa with the most amazing views - car absoutely essential
This is a beautiful, spacious villa, furnished in a traditional style and with the most amazing, panoramic sunset views out across the ocean. The host family were incredibly kind and hospitable and went over and above to make our stay comfortable - even bringing a delicious home cooked Moussaka (courtesy of Sophie). George and his father Spyros were absolutely the most incredible hosts!
The villa has a beautiful large pool, from which we loved watching the sunset every single night.
During our stay, wasps were quite a problem, though we understand this may be island wide at this time of year.
There was no ATM or shop in the nearest village (1km walk) and pretty much no cell phone coverage. Whilst this might be considered a blessing, it did prove extremely troublesome for us when trying to receive a passenger location form verification SMS. We enjoyed our shopping walks to the nearest supermarkets (about a one hour round trip), but we wouldn't recommend this walk (especially with bags of shopping) for the faint hearted.
Overall, the villa and the hosts were absolutely amazing and we would definitely come here again, but would be certain to collect a hire car from the airport and keep it for the entire stay, even if we were planning to stay around the villa for much of the time.
Thank you very much to George, Spyros and Sophie!
