We enjoyed our time at Christina's very much. The apartment is small, but offers enough storage space. It is so very welcoming, and Christina's artsy touch can be felt all over - beautiful decor details, all of which are handmade by her. When we arrived, everything was carefully prepared and a bottle of homemade wine was waiting for us, as well as some breakfast items and drinks. Christina was always reachable via WhatsApp or calls for any questions - and when we had a medical issue on the weekend, her and Mike were there for us and organized a doctor within a few minutes (thank you again!), and helped us with all the details. About every second day, they would come by to fix the rooms, and were always available for a friendly chat, bringing us delicious treats from their own or their parents' places - fresh grapes, eggs, bananas (amazing). When they saw that our frying pan was a bit scratched, they bought us a new one without us even having to ask. The porch is very roomy and covered by rich wine leaves, giving cool shade in the sunny hours. The table outside the apartment was our favorite place to sit, eat, talk, enjoy the view in the evening, pet the friendly cat, sometimes meet neighbors. - The beach partly offers sunbeds and umbrellas for 6€ per day, and be prepared - they have amazing food and fresh juices there, too, which are brought to the sunbeds! Also, there's an area on the beach where you can just pitch your own umbrella. The water is clean and you can swim and snorkel well. There's a family run Taverna at a walking distance from the beach, their food is good and after the meal, we were spontaneously spoiled with fresh fruit, Raki, and wines all produced by the owner, plus a chat with him and some of his life stories, which was very entertaining! As we had a rental car, we were able to explore the area around Achlia with its little towns and large beaches. In Makrigialos there is a butcher with local fresh meat at very good prices, if you like cooking your own meals that shop is a find as the meat is a treat. Supermarkets are close, too, as well as other shops and restaurants. We loved the time at Christina's and will love to be back!!
