What a special place! We travelled from Australia hoping that the place we'd booked on the internet was as good as the photos they'd posted. All I can say is it's better. Alex kindly met us st the port and showed us a few key places before taking us to the villa. And what a villa it is! The terrace area is fabulous, and a great place to relax and look at the view of the water. The pool area is perfect, with the infinity edge making you feel at one with the Aegean and comfortable lounges to 'lounge' on. There is so much space on the terrace, which reflects the space you feel looking over the sea. We had an Aussie family get together the first week with 8 of us, all feeling comfortable in the space. The second week was quieter with just 4 of us. We rented a couple of cars and explored the island, a car is s must as it's 10 mins by dirt road to the villa. The island is beautiful and steeped in history, and can be explored in a couple of days so you then can relax by the pool knowing you have seen most things. There are lots of restaurants in Karissa or Vourkari to enjoy and morning breakfast in Loulis-loulida (the ancient hilltop town) is s must. After sight seeing we spent the second week just relaxing at the villa, swimming and staring at the view. I redesigned my life sitting on the comfy cushions overlooking the Aegean Sea with a cold glass of Greek Rose in my hand. Book this house and you'll be doing the same! We'll definitely be back.
