Pomegranates, fresh oranges and lemons, waking up to the sound of the goats, sheep and occasional cat. What can I say - if you are looking for an upscale Greek vacation away from the noise and hustle and bustle of the tourists this place is for you.
Beautifully designed, clean, with hosts who treat you as family. (I came off season and was even included in a family bar be cue - best fish I have ever eaten.) You have total privacy while Michail and his wife are in the house opposite if you need them. The only interruptions I had was from their cats and dog. The cats loved to visit in the morning and the dog was always after free walks. The most loving animals I have met for a long time.
Shops and taverns are a five minute walk away but far enough away so that you are not bothered by the noise. The beaches are not the best on the island but good for sunbathing and swimming.
There are I think three apartments each exquisitely and fashionably designed. They all look to the mountain and sea. The studio space is the smallest but I would have been very happy there as it has the best views and a small deck. The second and third studios are larger and one has a jacuzzi.
You will not be disappointed if you book this place. I have stayed on many of the islands in Greece and I can say hand on heart this apartment was one of the most beautiful, quiet, clean and safe places I have stayed in. Can't recommend it enough. If it's available grab it - it's a gem.
Forgot to mention that Mihalis came to pick me up at the airport and provided water and orange juice as well as the fresh fruit at the apartment. This place is well worth the money!
