Sotiris and his place are WONDERFUL!!!
First of all, Sotiris is an EXCELLENT host – this was my first trip to Greece and I went alone, and I had LOTS of questions as I planned my trip. Not only was Sotiris wonderful in answering my questions about his place, but he was also so great about answering my general questions about the island overall which made my trip-planning and packing so incredibly easy! He is incredibly friendly and was completely available throughout my stay for any questions or needs that I had during my time on the island.
Also, his house is FABULOUS!! It is SPOTLESS and immaculate with great amenities from a nice shower to really comfortable pillows! It’s incredibly spacious and comfortable, and has a GREAT private porch in the front with a table where you can sit and watch the beautiful ocean, and one of my favorite features was that off the bedroom there is a little terrace with a spiral staircase that leads up to a WONDERFUL large private roof with 360 degree views of the beautiful island!! It was the perfect spot for a glass of wine after enjoying a delicious dinner at one of the island’s amazing restaurants!
Also, as a female traveling alone I think it is important to specifically highlight that I felt INCREDIBLY safe – his home is very secure, the area is totally safe, and he made me feel so comfortable and at home!
The location of this beautiful home is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT – the minute you step off the ferry you can see the front of the home up the hill which made travel so easy, there is a great grocery store/market that is about a 20 second walk from the front door which made it so simple and convenient to quickly grab any needed items, the main downtown beach is 4 minute walk away which was wonderful for waking up and immediately grabbing a coffee and jumping in for a morning swim, and the proximity to all of the restaurants and shops was perfect! Depending on where you are headed, it is about a 30-second to 10 minute walk away from EVERYTHING throughout the downtown, yet it was nice and quiet inside when I wanted to go to sleep!
This is my absolute favorite AirBnB that I have stayed at, and before leaving I already started looking into dates to return to this home next year!!
