I kind of don't want to write this review - I want this place to be our secret but it's too good not to share so I must go on...
Where to start? Is it the sun-drenched, sea-view, fruit-tree-lined veranda from which you can breakfast as swallows acrobat their way through clear blue skies above the olive trees? Is it lying at night, gently fuzzy from the good local wine and remarkable food offered in the village, gazing up at billions of stars as bats flutter above? Is it Kastri/Keratok itself, a delightful twin village, nestled, safely away from the crowds; a quiet and beautiful sleepy settlement where local fishermen haul delicious treats straight out of the sparkling cobalt sea and onto your plate for a paltry sum? No. Well, yes! All those things BUT what makes this place so special is the people - I've travelled the world and rarely met such a warm, generous, calm and friendly bunch as the folk here. Seriously - we couldn't eat fast enough to demolish the tasty offerings that were thrust in our direction, with never any expectation of something in return - people here just want you to feel welcome. None more so than our hosts, Charlotte and Giorgos - we were treated like old friends, we never wanted for anything and the merest suggestion that we had a need for something would shortly result in its appearance. These apartments are simple but special, in a special place, run by special people - if you want to go somewhere where you can feel the tension melt from you within minutes of arrival, where you can feel at home far from home, where you can truly relax - you've found it at Pan apartments...
