Arrival: Vangelis was very kind to pick us up in the airport in time, and personally show us the house and give us crucial tips (renting a car, shopping, location of the beaches).
The stay: 1) Although the sea and a decent beach, couple of markets and taverns are indeed no more then 5 minutes walk from the house, to fully enjoy your vacation at the area you really have to rent a car, which, by the way, is easy and inexpensive. With the car you have all kinds of shops and markets, the port and large sandy beaches in 5 to 10 minutes drive. The exploration of the local sightseeing as for aquarium, nature park, aqua park, is also easy with the car. It is easy to park the car in the yard. 2) The house is perfect for families with kids for multiple reasons. Also it is a decent choice for couples and companies of 4 people. It has fully equipped kitchen and bathroom and air conditioning. The beds in both bedrooms are comfortable for sleeping. There is enough cupboards and lockers to comfortable store your belongings. There is nice terrace, which could be protected from the wind when necessary, which allows you to enjoy your food outdoors at almost any weather. The stairway from the terrace to the yard (the only one stairway in the house) was easy and safe to climb for my 1 y 3 m old son. The yard with the garden is very spacey and well organized, which is very nice and safe for the children to run around. There is a barbecue, a small table to handle your meat/fish and a big dining table with 2 umbrellas in the yard. All this together give perfect impression of coziness and privacy, which was the crucial condition for really relaxing family vacation in my case. It is also noteworthy, that the house wasn't built to rent it but it was built to live there, and this is also pretty obvious as soon as you arrive. It is a quiet place as for the house which is located 200 m far from the beach and is neighbor to couple of big hotels and cafes. The buses, the airplanes and the sounds from taverns and hotels are too distant to actually influence your sleep, even considering daytime baby sleep.
Departure: Vangelis was so nice to give us a lift to the airport.
To summarize: me and my family enjoyed our stay a lot, and we are very grateful to Vangelis, and I highly recommend his house as a place to spend your vacation, and Vangelis as a host!
