Marina is a super host extraordinaire! Marina and her husband and her daughter are absolutely lovely people that will make you feel like you are their family. My girlfriend and I booked her place because of the proximity to the main town, buses and ferry.
Marina's daughter, Marlena, picked us up at the ferry. When we arrived at the house Marina greeted us with a wonderful sweet and refreshments. The room was lovely. The property very inviting as the photos do show. After getting our stuff situated we walked the path from our room, through farmland, six minutes walk to a great little beach (with two bar/ restaurants. We had a lovely first meal in Greece, a couple of drinks, and enjoyed a nice swim (Lounge chairs and umbrellas were 8 euros--we knew we were only gonna be there a short while so we didn't bother. )
When we returned we met Martina's husband Gianni. He greeted us with the type of hug and kiss that you'd expect from a brother you hadn't seen for a while!
Their advice was good. We were going to rent a vehicle (which Martina would have booked) but Martina advised with such a short stay (2days) that we might as well just use buses and walk to town. Perfect advice. We could've done 4 days with no car and had plenty to do.
On our last day we were driven to town and later that afternoon Gianni met us at the ferry with our bags which they had stowed away.
There was a bottle of their home made wine and homegrown olives in our room, and Martina picked us some tremendous tomatoes and homegrown grapes from her vineyard as well!
Truly like staying with family.
Only negative is expectable and commendable really. For energy conservation electricity only works when you are in the room with the key--however Martina offered to charge our phones while we were at the beach. Beds were not the most comfortable, but we are mattress snobs!
Looking forward to staying with them again!
