We stayed two and a half weeks with our one year old twins at Michaels house in the middle of Fanes and had a great time. The house is nicely decorated and has a great veranda with shade during the day and nice lampions for the evening. The house has everything you need for your stay and even basic stuff such as salt and pepper and washing powder is available. The house is located directly in the centre of Fanes opposite of the local taverna. The owners of the taverna cooked several times real greek family food for us. Even two small grocery shops are next door. However, since the house is located in the centre of Fanes it can get loud during the evenings, especially on weekends, but this is what absolutely non-touristic greece is probably alike. Moreover, one should be aware that Fanes has a lot of free cats that also come to the veranda, but they normally stay out of the house. This did not bother us and especially the two boys loved them. Fanes itself is super untouristic and probably a typical greek town which we loved!
Fanes beach is about 3 min drive away, walking distance is a little bit far but doable. The beach is wide and sandy with relatively shallow water, a few trees for shade and very little tourists (end of september). There is a good kite surfing opportunity during summer as well (June-September).
Michael responded directly to our messages and was super friendly with great tips. Anna, who handed over the keys was also very friendly and even bought some groceries for the kids since we arrived on Saturday evening.
We can really recommed Michaels house if you are looking for a holiday with greek flair away from tourism.
