We spent two wonderful relaxing weeks at Phivos' house. As we arrived, we were welcomed by Phi's mother. Maria is a very friendly and a nice person. She showed us around the house and treated us with the Greek sweets and an icecream. First of all I was impressed by the stunning view from the terrace as Maria took us upstairs - beautiful sea, lonely beach and the lovely garden. That was enough to love this place! It was important for me to run away from the fuss of a big city and to spend time with my family in an isolated quiet place. This house was ideal for this purpose ! We lived surrounded by the nature. The beach was really few steps from the house. The water in the sea was warm and clean. The shade from the trees in the garden protected from the sun at the day time. I liked the idea that there was no fence around the house. The cute white house with pretty blue windows and doors looked like a part of the surrounding nature. I loved to get up early and enjoy the sunrise with my coffe on the terrace and afterwards I used go swimming and to sit on the lonely beach and listen to the wind and to the sea. At night one can enjoy plenty of stars on the sky. What else one needs for relaxation. Well, it is much better than the spa hotel. Thank you Phivos and Maria for your house!
Phi gave us good tips about the places to eat and the places to see. Thank you! We loved everything. Staying at Phi's house we had an opportunity to feel like locals. We used to make Greek coffee, to buy sweets in a local bakery and to enjoy delicious season fruits like figs, grapes and other. That was a great experience.
Some words about the house.
I think one needs a car to stay in this house.
The house was big enough for our family of 4. Although the bathroom and kitchen are quite small. Anyway we spent all day long outside. It was not an issue for us.
There are a lot of different insects inside and outside mostly in the evening. Probably somebody doesn't like it. My children loved it. They liked to watch various beetles, cicadas, gecons, lizards. There were some mosquitos, but not too much. Anyway, there were plenty of anti mosquito means in the house provided by Maria.
The tap water in the house is a bit salty. Well, we used bottled water for drinking and cooking.
Phivos and Maria are great hosts and I would highly recommend their house.
