Our family (2 adults, 2 children - ages 14 and 9) had an absolutely fabulous time at Clio's place and in Korthi. We stayed 3 nights, but definitely could have stayed longer. Korthi is a perfect beach town for a retreat - water is beautiful and you can hop in in front of the house, and in multiple other places within walking distance. We appreciated that it seems to be a true beach retreat for local Greeks, not touristy at all, just a nice quiet beach town with amazing restaurants, beaches, bakeries, shops, and pastries, all of which are clearly explained (with recommendations) in Clio's guest book. Take her suggestion for the pastry shop and the almond cookies, the best! A relaxing and rejuvenating location and town if you are looking for a nice family-friendly retreat. Water is safe and shallow enough that our 9-year old could hop in and out all day on his own, with us watching from the house.
Clio and Antonis are amazing hosts - Clio is so friendly and interesting to talk to, we enjoyed getting to know her. The place is incredibly clean with lovely touches, including amazing locally-made towels (which we then purchased to bring home!). Clio is fast with her responses, and helped us out booking a taxi, contacting a hotel, and anything we needed. Her book gives lots of details about the town and surroundings, and she is full of suggestions of places to go and see (although we chose to just hang out at in town). Our favorite day of our whole vacation was when Clio and Antonis took us out on their boat for a tour of the island - they showed us the capital, let us jump off the boat in the middle of the water, let my son pretend to drive the boat, took us to a secluded beach only accessible by boat (or by scrambling down a mountain), and provided the most amazing lunch of garlic in oil that Clio prepared, tomatoes, local cheese and bread, and fruit. If only we could get food that tasted so good in the US! Thanks again for that outing, Clio and Antonis!
