The little hideaway of Dörte and Lefteris is a true gem. I felt super comfortable straight after arriving, which wasn't only due to the lovely place, but also to the great hospitality of the hosts. The place is situated perfectly right in the centre of beautiful Paleochora, surrounded by beautiful flowers, basil and mind growing outside and equipped with a nice little front yard where you can sit and enjoy your morning or afternoon coffee. Also, it is only a stone's throw away from the ocean and the stunning views on the cliffs and the famous crocodile head.
While staying at this place, I didn't really feel like a tourist, but rather like part of the community, as there are people living next door – all very kind and welcoming just as Dörte. I had some issues during my stay and Dörte was always there for me and helped me out straight away. Even when the tire of my car was low on air, Lefteris came over after ten minutes and drove with me to the gas station and asked the attendant to fill up the tire – of course I didn't have to pay anything. Just roll with the locals ;-)
Also, if you like to cook, the kitchen is perfectly equipped. Everything you need will be there. The living room becomes a super cozy spot in the evening hours after a long day in the sun. Somehow I felt very sheltered which I think was due to how the house is situated in between other houses. Also the bed was very comfortable – I slept like a baby.
Well, long story short: There is literally nothing to complain about. Don't hesitate to book this place. You won't regret it :)
