Our stay at Melina's House was truly memorable and beyond our expectations. Eva and Nico (Melina's parents) were exceptional hosts - thoughtful, kind and helpful but never intrusive. They were always at hand to answer any queries we had, and popped by several times with very thoughtful offerings of their own produce (figs, eggs, marmalade, olive oil). The location of the apartment is lovely - a few steps away from a secluded beach where we spent lots of time enjoying swimming and skimming stones with our two boys aged 5 and 7. The weather was very hot during our stay, and at times the apartment felt very warm (I felt this more than usual perhaps being almost 8 months pregnant!). However we were encouraged to use the air conditioning and also used a fan which solved the issue. Nico gave us suggestions about what to visit in the local area and we spent a lovely hour or two in the Sarakinas gorge. We also enjoyed eating out a couple of nights along the seafront in Myrtos, which is a really pretty seaside village just a few km along the coast. We had a fantastic 6 nights at Melina's House and would wholeheartedly recommend it to families who enjoy being slightly off the beaten track although within easy reach of all the usual amenities by car.
