Christine's place is a pretty little white house overlooking the sea and the white cliffs just outside the village of Mandrakia. The views from the house are stunning, and terraces on either side of the house offer sun and shade according to the time of day and situation. We spent hours on those terraces, sunbathing, eating, drinking, looking at the sea. Inside, the house is immaculately clean. Simple and stylish in decor, it offered all the amenities we needed and more (everything worked). The village of Mandrakia is only a few steps away (200 feet). There, one will find several scenic swimming, bathing, and sunbathing spots, and a classic Greek taverna serving fresh and delicious seafood, wine, and ouzo on a moonlit terrace overlooking the sea. Finally, Christine was the best imaginable host, very clear in her communication, extremely helpful, and welcoming.
