Well! What a place! What great people!
We had one of the most memorable stay at Nikos’s place in ALL of the air bnb places we stayed (and we’ve stayed in plenty of good ones).
Nikos is one of the most giving, generous, kind and considerate host you’ll ever meet!
When we arrived late to meet him at the Vori village, we were given the wrong coordinates by our phone so waited in the wrong spot. After a few phone calls from Nikos, he found us - we were in the wrong village!!
He was totally calm and didn’t mention our stupid mistakes, not the fact that we were 2 hours late and it’s already way past midnight. What a great guy!
And he came with his dad, as he thought it best he drove the our car up the hill to the property, instead of us doing so, and he thought it’d be a safer option at night for him to do so and show us tricks and then the next day we do it.
As we got to the house, everything is as it should be, as well as having lots of his family’s produce - oranges, lemons, olive oils, honey etc, his mother has also baked us a cake! What darlings!
During our stay, we needed an extra bedside lamp, which he delivered without fuss. And we mentioned we couldn’t seem to find a place on our phone app and he offered to drive us there! (Though we found it in the end so didn’t need his expertise)
Then another day he popped by as his mother made some amazing Cretan cheese pie and thought we’d like to try them! My husband ate 3 in one sitting, with their home made honey as accompaniment. It was most delicious.
On our last day, Nikos wanted to stop by and to say good bye - he came with 2 hand painted bottles made by his lovely grandmother- as a little something to remember them by.
Well! Needless to say - we will certainly remember this gorgeous place (yes the scenery is as good if not better than the pics), and it’s most warm and lovely people in it!
Thanks for everything Nikos!
