"House for a family." Rania picked a great description for her home, it really was a perfect fit for our family! My wife, three young daughters, and I all felt right at home and had everything we needed for our wonderful stay in Patmos. Even more important than the amenities and comfort of Rania's home, though, were the amazing welcome and hospitality that she and her husband showed to us from even before we arrived on the island. Rania and her husband met us at the port and were there when our ferry arrived. They whisked away our luggage and helped us hire a car. They guided us to the house and Rania walked us through all of its features. We arrived in the afternoon, our kids were tired and hungry, and I was dreading the prospect of having to go back into town to get groceries for us. It was such a pleasant surprise for Rania to show us the fully stocked pantry and fridge! She had thought of everything that anyone could reasonably want and even had a bowl full of sweets for the girls. Thanks to Rania, we had no need to rush out to the store at all that day, and even later there wasn't much we needed to purchase. These are the sorts of things that aren't necessary or even expected, but can have such a positive impact and we were so thankful for. One of the comments Rania made to us, to just "relax", was exactly what we were able to do that afternoon thanks to her family's wonderful hospitality. Another time I had trouble with the lock to the door - I really felt badly about it, but I just could not seem to get the door open - and when I messaged Rania pretty late in the evening, her husband was right over in a matter of minutes to help us. Truly the hospitality and focus on service that Rania and her family displayed to us is I think what anyone would consider to be the AirBnB ideal. Speaking of ideal, the house's location in Grikos Bay is a near-idyllic setting. We were fortunate to explore a good portion of the island during our 6 days in Patmos, and I think Grikos is one of the best spots. Starting with the view from Rania's house, as in her pictures, the house provides great sweeping views of of the bay. Grikos is a very easy drive to both Skala and Hora for plenty of restaurant and shopping options. There are also some great footpaths on Patmos, including one from Grikos to Hora that we had no trouble walking with our kids ages 7, 5, and 3. Around the corner from the house, there looks to be a great taverna maybe a 2-minute walk away, but unfortunately it had closed for the season shortly before we arrived in late October. Plenty of kid-friendly beach choices within walking distance of the house and climbing around the Rock of Kalikatsou made for some fantastic photos. Overall, Patmos is a great island and was a perfect destination for our family. Equally impressive though was our stay in Rania's home and the wonderful kindness and support that she and her husband showed to us. We are truly grateful to have had the opportunity, ευχαριστώ!
