We'd been so looking forward to our stay at Efi's and we weren't disappointed. The photo's don't really do the property justice. The accommodation is so much bigger than it looks. We really loved all the authentic touches and felt really immersed in Greek life whilst we were there.
The property had all the amenities you could wish for, plenty of crockery and pots and pans for cooking, an avalanche of bed linen, towels and extra patchwork quilts (all made by Efi herself!) and contained inside a beautiful linen cupboard.
The bed and pillows were super comfy and it was lovely to curl up amongst the cushions (also made by Efi) with a book and a large Metaxa on the traditional style seating in the living area.
There were lovely touches like salt, pepper, oregano and olive oil all ready for you near the stove. There were walk books and maps just waiting to be pored over.
There was also a plentiful supply of toilet paper and washing up liquid etc!
The location is as good as it gets, just a few steps from the square and its many cafes and restaurants.
Two things made our holiday just perfect - sitting in that lovely courtyard with a glass of wine, feeling less like tourists and more like travellers. And of course, Efi herself! A perfectly lovely lady, and a generous and thoughtful host. How wonderful to have Efi's homegrown lemons in our G&T's, and to bake aubergines and peppers straight from Efi's orchard. We loved finding edible gifts left on the table - sweet juicy grapes, chocolate brownies, apple cake!
We had a lovely afternoon with Efi and her very elegant friend in Efi's orchard. Freshly fried Aubergines and beautifully fresh white cheese, washed down with a nice glass of white, whilst learning about their lives, followed by a walk around the orchard and a spot of pepper-picking for a local restaurant!
This was our first stay at Efi's but it won't be our last.
