We loved Maria’s place in the middle of an olive grove, up of the hills, 5 min drive from a nice village of Paliokastro. The house has character and everything you need for a comfortable stay. The space is just enough for a family of 4 with younger kids as the beds in the mezzanine level are under a sloping roof, not good for very tall people. The host is very quick to respond and answered all our questions when we had them, the welcome bottle of wine and the pomegranates was a nice touch of hospitality. The location is fantastic - seclusion and privacy but very close to all the interesting sites around. Our kids enjoyed watching the starts at night. The village has a butcher shop, fish market, min markers, a nice bakery and several good tavernas.
