We have just returned from a super holiday! Despite an unseasonal first two days of rain we had an amazing time. All of the photos here make Maria's place look fabulous. And the great thing is the experience lived up to the description!
Maria was a really attentive host, both before and during. She gave us plenty of advice before we set off and was in touch with us on a regular basis to find out if we were enjoying ourselves, and if there was anything she could do or suggest to make us enjoy ourselves even more.
English visitors are probably not that familiar with Kea. But it is a charming island. We perhaps should have explored more, but had two fabulous days on the Kounderos beaches and a couple of great meals in Voukaris. Ultimately, however, with a great pool, a great villa and a choice of two barbecues we really didn't feel the need to leave.
Finally a word about the amazing Mona, Maria's cleaner. So helpful, so efficient, so thorough. She even got her husband to collect from the butchers and deliver to the villa a small lamb that we spit roasted on the charcoal barbecue.
