The stay at Anastasia's beautiful seafront property (Heliotropio) in Pollonia was not only the highlight of our trip to Greece, but also one of our best Airbnb experiences. Anastasia and her wonderful daughter Androniki were on hand from the moment we booked with them until the day we (very sadly) checked out - with genuine warmth, terrific local tips and anything else we might have needed. Please take our word when we say that the photographs do not do this place justice - we had a sea-facing apartment that was mindfully done up, spotlessly clean, equipped with all amenities as well as a little balcony with a view that is instantly Instagrammable :) It was a place where we could happily spend time even if we were not lazing on a beach.
The property is also located at a suitable distance away from the village centre (a 7-minute walk), which we imagine can get fairly busy during peak season. Staying here afforded us the opportunity to be in one of the nicest areas in Milos (with some of the best restaurants), without having to sacrifice our need for peace and quiet.
Staying at Heliotropio meant that we could have access to the amenities one expects in a lovely boutique hotel, while also enjoying Anastasia and Androniki's kindness and hospitality. We can't wait to go back!
