Our time with Irene was one of the highlights of our time in Greece, which is saying s lot given the high standard of Greek hospitality. The home in Olympos was beautifully restored and incredibly well stocked, it was such a relief to have a drench press and coffee, an iron and washing machine, along with everything we could need to cook. The balcony looked out over the street and the hills of Olympos, a striking view and perfect for a morning cup of tea or afternoon rest. Her neighbors were all wonderfully friendly, both when we encountered them on the street and when Irene was kind enough to bring us with her to a local saints day service and celebration at a chapel in the countryside. Irene was always accessible and super helpful in navigating the history of the city and in getting around the island. I can't recommend a stay in her lovely traditional home enough.
