Antonios was a wonderful, WONDERFUL host - I can't tell you enough!! He met us at the port at midnight and because of a problem with one of our hire cars he helped drive some of our party and our luggage to where we were staying in convoy. He also provided us with some basic supplies on our arrival, such as (much needed) water and fruit. He encouraged us to use the BBQ by providing us with coal... twice(!), and a bottle of wine. Any problems, he was extremely quick to help out.

Antonios has the gentlest, kindest, relaxed manner, and very passionate about Villa Fantasia, which, when you see it you will understand why. It’s a beautiful place, well taken care of, very spacious, well equipped, with a stunning view of the island; we often watched the setting sun and moon in the evenings.

The trip was our climbing clubs first official organised meet to Kalymnos and due to the success of the trip we want to make it an official annual one too; and I hope to stay at Villa Fantasia again and again :)

Sorry we didn’t get to say good bye Antonios, but thank you so much for your hospitality
