We spent one week in Nikos’s villa in the central part of August, and we had a fantastic stay there. The house has a traditional taste, and we could not resist the fascination to sleep in wooden Karpathian bed in the entry room. Beds are comfortable, the kitchen is equipped with crockery, the essentials to cook (oil, salt, spices) and to wash the dishes, and we conveniently parked our car in the courtyard of the house, whose gate has a handy remote control. The two bedrooms (the main bedroom and the entry room with the traditional bed) are equipped with independent splits of the air conditioning system. Anyway, the house keeps reasonably fresh by itself, thanks also to the refreshing wind in the evening. The view from the garden is breath-taking and we loved to have our breakfast in the shadowed patio under the grapevine, or our dinner gazing at the sea at short distance. Indeed, Nikos’s villa benefits from an enviable position: it is at 5-minute walk to the three beautiful Ammopi beaches, which are well-suited not only to people who would like to relax under a beach-umbrella, but also for demanding snorkelers. On the way to the beach, you cannot miss one of the most renowned fish taverna in Karpathos (we had dinner twice there, in both cases it was excellent). Moreover, the house can be an excellent spot to discover the southern and central part of Karpathos, from the villages of Finiki and Arkasa, to the impressive and unforgettable beaches on the east coast, such as Achata and Kyra Panagia. At the same time, the villa is facing on very quiet road with very little traffic in the evening, and no traffic at all in the night, and overall Ammopi is a very silent place during the night. Nikos greeted us very friendly at our arrival (he speaks English very well), and he was so kind to offer us as a welcome gift fruit, cold beverages, honey and the essential to have lunch or breakfast. The communication with Nikos was always easy and fast before and during our stay, and he was very kind in providing suggestions, in fixing small issues we inadvertently generated (sorry again, Nikos!) and in providing a level of flexibility for the check-in and check-out time. To conclude, we were so lucky to have the possibility to taking care of a beautiful black cat, who turned out in the end to have 2-3 black brothers and sisters. We thank Nikos for hosting us in his beautiful villa, which we absolutely recommend and we hope to have the chance to be back soon!
