zena's cave has been our little piece of paradise for 9 days.
everything was perfect: we had the possibility to check in before 2 pm, so we could go to the beach quite soon. The comunication was fast and we got every information to get to the place. the location is just super! out of the village in a rural area surrounded by fig plants, flowers and nature. Not noise, just the cicadas! we could hear the sound of the waves. the cave is nice and cosy. not hot at all, even if outside were more then 30 degrees: we had great sleeps! the cave is fully equipped for a turistic holiday: cookers, microwave, fridge with freezer, dishes, beach umbrella, hairdryer...
we had a 4wheels drive so we could visit nearly the all island. the small village of pollonia offers a lot of restaurants and bars and a small mini market.
we didnt want to be in a crowded place, and we find the best solution!
Zena is a great host: she welcomed us as a kind of mama, but without beeing intrusive. she is just that kind of person, you hope to meet and get to know. she is kind, respectful, generous, sweet and affectionate. she gave us figs, tomatos and cucumbers; she cooked for us spaghetti with ragout (very delicios, and i'm italian!!), an other day she prepared a pottage, then also mussaka, meatballs, a typical sweet with figs...what shall we say... she is a great cooker, and that presents has been special for us.
it was so nice to come home, after the beach for example, and say "ciao zena!" and then have a chat with her. That moments we talk together will stay in our memories for a long time. even if she doesnt speak english she is able to explaine everything; even if we dont speak the same language, we had great moments together and chatting together sometimes with hands, sometimes by looking in internet, sometime just by looking into our eyes. we came really in a special relation with zena and we love her.
if you are looking for a special place, if you want a host that is not just a host, but a friend, then you are in the best place.
super poly kalo!!
poly efcharisto zena!!
