We had a totally wonderful holiday in Villa Myrina. It was the perfect set up for our 2 families with 2 kitchens and bathrooms but some privacy afforded by the layout. Children aged 2-9.
Best bits:
- the pool area with inflatables, safety barriers, steps in to pool and lots of comfy sun beds and bean bags
- so many areas to sit meaning there is always somewhere to catch some shade
- plentiful cooking equipment and dishwashers (although for young families a microwave would be really handy for reheating leftovers with less work!)
- fantastic entertainment set up with Netflix in both villas
- excellent hosting with a starter shop done for our arrival and a fantastic cake from Michalis’ daughter (one of the best we’ve ever tasted)
- Immediate access to many restaurants (one with a small playground) within moments of the villa - Plaka is a quiet but very friendly village with all the essentials available.
- Easy access (5-10 minute walk downhill, only €5 back uphill if toddler legs not up to it in the heat) to Almyrida with all the beach life and restaurants, supermarkets and gift shops
- immense views from the upstairs terrace, beautiful sunsets and sea views
- Lime, peach and fig trees in the grounds, great for cooking and cocktails!
The only real consideration with the villa is that the downstairs quarters (made for 4 people with 2 double bedrooms) is very authentic and cool (stone walls) but much less well maintained than the upstairs quarters and overly full of the owners belongings. We shared the living spaces and so wasn’t a problem for us.
