The villa is located in the middle of a valley. we can hear crickets, chickens and goats. The villa was renovated/rebuilt recently based upon the design of an ancestral villa. The villa is interesting from an ecological and architectural perspective as it was efficiently optimized in terms of sunlight (shades to minimize the intense summer solar heat), ventilation and living space. There is no AC unit, electricity is provided through solar panels. There are indoor fans and windows mosquitos’ nets which I personally prefer to AC. I suspect that that the design is close to a LEED concept (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). But I know for sure is that Giorgos is an architect at heart! Not to mention the garden providing tomatoes, zucchinis, eggplant and the renowned akrotiri’s water melons.
Finally Eirini was very helpful when we needed help with our baby. Eirini and Giorgos are a great family and great hosts!
