We often travel last minute and rely heavily on reviews when choosing where to stay. More than once we have gotten lucky and a place became available that is otherwise booked completely (a good sign!). Well, this was one of those occasions. Maria’s place is exactly as advertised and there is a reason for the consistently high ratings. She is a gracious host who surprised us with wine, juices, and meze. From the time we were met at the airport until we left for our port departure, she had everything taken care of. Having our luggage carried up and down the hillside was an amazing help. The apartment was kept very clean every day with clean towels for the room as well as beach towels. I won’t waste time repeating all of the amenities. I will just say that the pictures are exactly as you will find it. The views from the balcony and rooftop patio are the best around. The proof of that you will find by the throngs of tourists who travel from all over the island at sunset to stand and get a view that you can sit and relax with a bottle of wine anytime. If you are looking for an amazing location with a host who ensures a memorable visit, look no further than Maria’s Helios Cave House. We couldn’t have imagined staying anywhere else. Thank you Maria and all your wonderful staff!
