The house was open and being cleaned as we arrived a little early, but we were made welcome and Nikos arrived soon after. The house has a relaxed feeling, a great terrace above and a little beach bar for a drink before dinner nearby. The neighbourhood is typical of rural seaside Greece, not perfect or ultra luxury but real life and casual.
With a car we found the location to be excellent, Maleme and Kolyimbari are each about a 5 minute drive with good restaurants and the stunning beaches at Falarsana, Balos and Elefoissi being definitely worth the trip.
