Wow! What a fabulous place this is... I want to keep it a secret just for us. Rena lives next door so was always available to answer questions and her wonderful cats and dog kept us company during our stay. She helped us to secure transport to the house and her porter met us to carry our bags both the day we arrived and then very early the morning we sadly had to leave... but to Naxos, which Rena suggested, which was also a fabulous island. The house was a very authentic cave house and had everything we needed including the wonderful terrace.

I loved the location of this cave house because it was lower down on the cliffside providing a stunning view but more privacy since tourists were not walking by constantly as they do on the paths that traverse higher up. We were within easy walking distance of the sunset, the restaurants and the shops but felt like we had the place all to ourselves. Do try the restaurant Roka, the food was really good and the staff super friendly.

A highlight and one of the reasons to rent here is there is a steep path that leads to the ocean for swimming and the 4 kayaks provided. That day was the best as we found an adorable chapel in a sandy alcove, jumped off rocks, found lobster and starfish and paddled to the nearby harbor to have lunch at a seaside taverna. I have travelled the world and this is by far one of my favorite places ever. I will be back as soon as possible!!
