John was very welcoming. A very relaxed character with the friendliness and kindness often encountered in Greece. He is an excellent guide giving great recommendations. We went to the recommended beaches and the church at the top of the hill which is worth a visit. Marpissa is absolutely beautiful and untouched. Ensure to go to the local family restaurant nestled on a little place within the for an authentic experience. The appartment is well equipped for cooking, John kindly left us with food, plenty of water and even wine and a local liqueur. John helped us use the barbecue on the elegant terrace. He also provided us with loads of products to help keep mosquitoes away. The children loved the pool in the early evening while we enjoyed our aperitif on the lounge chairs. It was a great experience all round and we are grateful to John and Maria which we got lucky to meet and who is equally wonderful.
