A stay with Voula and Kostis reminds us of the original intention of AirBnB - meeting new and wonderful people, not just seeing new places. From day 1, our host family was extremely kind - sharing great touring recommendations as well as homemade baked goods and wine... Voula and Kostis were always available to help when we needed them, but never invasive and we always felt completely independent and private (we were on our honeymoom). The apartment is modern and well constructed, with top-notch appliances, a super comfy bed and a small but well functioning and fully equipped kitchenette. We struggled to use it, however, because of the unexpected gem of Kostis' restaurant ("Taverna Kamilos") just 2min walk away and serving up amazing (and extremely inexpensive) dishes fueled by the family's own livestock and their small but abundant vegetable garden. Kostis one evening even took us up a nearby mountain (Samitos) via 4x4 to witness an incredible sunset. We wish we could have stayed longer.
It isn't too far of a drive to reach various beaches, but staying here is really most suited to those who love the mountains and the quiet. We hope to return in cooler months for more extensive hiking throughout the area.
