My wife and I stayed here for vacation – this location is the PERFECT blend of “village” where you get a little taste of what it would be like to live in Greece and “tourist” so you have easy access to places to eat and shop and transportation. The walk up to the apartment makes you feel like you are a part of Platanias, the view makes you feel like you hit the lottery, and the bus access and friendly shop owners are always there for you when you need anything in your travels. You are a 5-minute walk from a bus stop and 7 minutes from the beach. Just gorgeous.
Tonia is most certainly a 5-star host. She was there to greet us upon arrival, walked us through the different parts of her beautiful apartment, and sat down to give us personal recommendations and directions to different places on the island. She even greeted us with traditional Greek pastries! She was always available for questions and it truly felt like we were at “home” for the 4 days we spent there. We were also very grateful for the opportunity to cook our own meals and wash our clothes!
Thank you, Tonia, for your amazing hospitality and for sharing your beautiful apartment. What a perfect way to spend our first visit to Greece!
p.s. if you stay here, you have to meet Giorgos at the honey shop right across the street from the apartment and buy some delicious honey! We had great conversations with him to learn more about the area and Greece!
