We are not long back from 1 12 day stay at this lovely house/villa. The photos are not at all deceiving, the house is as nice and homely as the photos portray and the views probably even more stunning especially in the mornings when you stroll out on to either of the balconies. There was only the two of us but the home would easily cater for 4 and still seem roomy. The house was clean, modern and well laid out with everything you need and we really did feel at home from the moment we walked through the door on day 1 and we were still finding interesting pictures or ornaments at the end of the break that we had not noticed before, which tells you just how well adorned the walls and shelves were. The 3m x 4m pool does not sound too big, but we loved it and found it the perfect size and depth just to fall into and cool down.
The area is quite secluded and private but definitely not enough to make you feel isolated. we regularly chatted with "neighbours" and managed to WALK to 6 different restaurants/tavernas (all within 3km) between Plaka and Kokkino Chorio. The nearest shop is only 250mtrs away albeit via a steepish walk. You will see most reviews will say that a car is essential, but we opted not to have one for this break, preferring to have a really low-key break and we managed fine. The walk into Plaka was a pleasant 20 mins and walking around Kokkino was also nice and the locals (Greek or UK) that we bumped into were all very friendly and helpful. We had a couple of BBQs at home and then ate out every other day for evening meals, The prices were as low as any other Greek Island that we have visited, if not lower, with typical prices being 4 euros for half lir carafe red/white wine and 2 or 3 euros for small and large draught beers. Main meals were from just 7 euros (Stifado/moussaka etc). You will also nearly always have a complimentary small dessert with Raki at the end and on many occassions we even had drinks during the meal "on the house". Remarkably cheap and decent quality too. We loved the accommodation, we loved the area and as always, loved the Greek people and way of life. thanks Ed & sue for putting this property on the letting sites and allowing us to have such a great holiday. Highly recommended to all.
