We had an excellent stay in Thomais’ home! She met us at check in, even though it was midnight, and had baked us homemade pastitsio and breakfast tart, both of which were amazing (and completely devoured).
The home is amazing. A really beautiful fusion of old and new. It feels open, spacious and airy, loads of natural light but still entirely private thanks to the garden wall. The courtyard is beautiful and great for relaxing in, with oranges dropping from the tree every day when we visited (in early November).
The town of Archanes is stunning and has lots of interesting nooks to explore, great food, live music, a small but well-worth-visiting museum.
In terms of location, this is best placed for visiting lots of wineries and olive oil mills. All of the great beaches are a long drive, so keep that in mind if you’re planning to spend lots of time on the sand. Preveli is only 2 hours away and it was our favorite of the ones we visited!
Overall I highly, highly recommend this place!
