We are very happy that we chose to live in the apartment of Yiannis. It's located in a very good area that is very close to almost all the places we wanted to visit. I'm a theologian and my wife is an icon painter, so our primary goal was to visit churches and monasteries with ancient art. One of the most outstanding monuments — the church of st. Dimitrios — is just a few minutes away, higher in the upper town there are two wonderful monasteries, Osios David and Vlatados, and several churches with magnificent mosaics and frescoes. Lower on the way to the see there is a famous Rotonda of Galerius, his arch and lots of other great places to visit. To each place you can go just by foot, we never took a taxi to move in the city, because the apartment is located in a perfect place, really.
When we first came, Yiannis met us very warmly. He shared lots of very useful information about the city, provided us with a map and other necessities. In the apartment there is everything for convenient life. We often cooked something at home and used the washing machine several times. Everything runs smoothly. In the apartment there is a cute balcony, the view is rather dull, but nevertheless it's still pleasant to spend time there eating fresh Greek fruits.
If I had a question and wrote Yiannis a message in Whatsup, he always answered me very quickly, in several minutes, which was often very helpful. We once wanted to visit a monastery with the relics of st. Paisios, which are located at a monastery, that is somethings like 30 km from the town. Yiannis figured out for us how to go there and when the monastery is open. It was really very helpful. So, indeed, Yiannis is a super host and you are lucky if you could book one of his apartment.
