Our stay was fabulous. We arrived and Christos' mom had made us a super cake, pasta pie and stocked the fridge with milk, wine, water and raki. It is excellent value for money to stay here and you interact with locals in stead of tourists, which is great. We spent 4 nights in Gianniou and we visited Preveli Monestary and beach, Souda beach and Plakias and many other small beaches and bought pottery in a village close to Gianniou. The locals in the town were wonderful to us. A van with supplies arrives in the morning or you can shop in villages close to you. At night the sound of 100's of sheep bells and children playing in the streets lulls you to sleep. It's a little piece of unspoilt magic in the mountains.
