We really enjoyed staying in this charming village away from the main touristy areas.
The home is comfortable and was very clean. There is an amazing view from the living area and terrace looking over the mountains and valley and it is beautiful to watch the sun come up and the sky changing. There is a steep mountain road to get to the village so you need a car and although no taverna in the village of Gianniou there are plenty within easy distance and in Plakias. The area is dramatic, beautiful and unspoilt. There are a number of different beaches within easy driving distance and Shinaria is our favourite. The coast is stunning and great for swimming and snorkelling. We were able to hike to Prevelli beach from the home but coming back was a little harder. The village has character and one of our neighbours brought us fruits and nuts. The vans selling goods were nice selling all sorts. Life in the village is generally pretty tranquil and just what we wanted.
We did not meet Christos but his sister Virginia greeted us, was very friendly and helped with all queries. We also met their parents who were very friendly. There were lots of little treats for us including wine, fruits, and home made food. We loved the zucchini pie.
We got good wifi and the bed was comfortable. There is parking in the village. We will definitely return to the area.
