We had the absolute pleasure of staying here for a couple of months and can honestly say this has hands down been the best Airbnb experience we’ve had.
Upon arrival in Aliki (20 min bus ride from the port in Parikia), we were greeted at the bus stop and driven to the house where we were welcomed with a bottle of olive oil and honey both produced in the gardens surrounding the property. Yum!
The house sits perched on the lower half of a hill and therefor gives you a beautiful view over the village, sea and surrounding islands. Honestly pictures don’t do it justice!
The apartment is attached on the right bottom corner of the larger house but as advertised has a private entrance and feels / is completely private from the rest of the house. In all the time staying here we crossed paths with the lovely owner only a handful of times and were always greeted with a warm smile :)
The apartment itself has an open space living room with a very well equipped kitchen, separate bedroom and bathroom with an amazing shower (and washing machine). The large terras, where you’ll end up spending most your time, has an outside table and plenty of spots to lounge so you can enjoy those amazing views whilst getting some shade if needed.
Walking downtown or to one of the three lovely beaches will take you roughly 10min depending which route you choose to take but all is very doable by foot. In the center of town, you’ll find a good selection of restaurants, a couple of bars and a supermarket. Everything you could need and want basically.
Once again, this place exceeded all our expectations and we will miss it dearly!
