This was an ideal place to stay, right in the adorable village of Volax, famous for its surreal landscape of stones scattered across a hilly countryside. There are numerous trails leaving right from the village, so even though having a car is better, it’s still possible to have a plenty to do without one (providing you don’t mind walking). Locals are very generous with hitchhikers, and Vassilis was extremely helpful too.
The whole house is for rent, but I ended up renting the top apartment, which is way better than the photos. It’s spotless, smelled incredibly good when I walked in, and has everything a single person or couple could possibly need. The bed is one of the most comfortable I’ve come across in my numerous Airbnb rentals, good pillows, a very nice terrasse for relaxing or to eat out, screens at all windows and doors so no little friends visiting. There are two tavernas in the village, but if you intend to eat in, grab a few things at the grocery store before arriving in the village (although I was welcomed with snacks, drinks and everything for breakfast).
Vassilis speaks French fluently (i didn’t test his English:), tres tres sympathique, and is always helping with any requests. I felt as if I was staying with friends nearby, but with complete privacy. Highly recommend staying here, and I’ll be back, along with Pyrgos!
