Where do i start?! Tula and Nikos (her brother) are two of the most friendliest people i have ever met. When i got there, i found freshly baked food on tge table and on two other occasions i came into the appartment to find a freshly cooked traditional meal on the table! Wow! The location is beautiful,it takes about 3 mins to get to the beach,you just have to cross the road. The beaches there are beautiful,i did not rent a car but i got everywhere by public busses,the bus station is about 6 mins from the appartment. There are lovely restaurants around too. Either you walk into the center of town of kastelli-kissamos (takes about 15 mins if you walk slowly,i couldn't resist taken loads if photos so it took me about 20 mins) or you eat at one of the restaurants near to the appartment,the closest one is about 5 mins away. You are in the middle of the mountains and can see the sea from the garden. It is an amazing location. The people are friendly and always happy to help you. Tula was so warm towards me. Treating me like a long lost grandaughter. But no in an imposing way,just really really friendly and warm without disturbing me in anyway. Although i travelled alone for the first time and i was in the middle of "nowhere". I felt very safe there. It felt like a home away from home. The reasons i did not give all stars and went down one were: -the photos of the place are not up to date, it is a beautiful place in the middle of nature,this is all true,but there has been a two story hotel built down the road (about 20 metres away from the appartment), this did not disturb my stay in anyway at all and it does not block the view,as the appartment is higher on the hill than the hotel, but it might be disturbing to other people for some reason. -You do have to cross a road to get to the beach. I come from a large town. To me it is not a busy road, but someone who comes from the country,or someone who has children could feel annoyed by this. -Due to the road you can hear the cars,again this did not disturb me,but it might disturb someone more sensitive to noise. It is not that loud though. You can still hear the cockerels crow in the mornings, the birds cheap, and the dogs bark. -The only thing that did bother me slightly was the smell when i went in the shower. It sort of smelt a bit of old water when i turned the shower on. Everything was clean though and so i did not say anything about it. I was there at the end of October for a week untill november,so maybe the shower hadn't been used for a while. It did not smell mouldy or toxic,just slightly like old water....
