Vassilis flat is the place to be if you want to immerse yourself in the greek" living like a local!" From the balcony you can watch the world go by from a central village position. The convenience of the location was for us the high spot. Everything is within walking distance. I had decided I did not want to drive this holiday (though the car rental is right next door!)and at this flat is was completely unnessesary as there was enough to see and do walking from here.
The Pefki Gorge is a wonderful walk just up the road by the bridge and will take 2-3 hours to walk to the charming mountain village of Pefki where there is a fabulous taverna, cafes and kind welcoming people (like in most of the villages) The beaches - there are at least 5 walking distance, are all beautiful for different reasons- the furthest and hardest to walk to were typically the best in our opinion!!
Our first swim of the day was literally around the corner (the appartment faces the main (though quiet)village road which backs the beach. There is a convenient shower in the garden by the entrance to the flat to wash off the salt.
Vassilis was a great host and was available by text or phone to sort out any little niggle with the flat- One of our aircon controls packed up and one magically appeared on our doorstep within hours!
We thoroughly enjoyed the little vegetable fruit market on friday morning above the harbour but otherwise were strong supporters of the super veg shop and butchers a stones throw from the appartment. The convenience of everything makes this a really worthwhile flat to consider if you want to live like a local! thank you vassilis and his family for making our stay so comfortable.
