I can't over-state how much we loved Orange Grove Cottage! Before we arrived Chrystallia arranged a hire car for us which was ready and waiting when we arrived, Harut, her husband had already collected the keys and met us from the port, where we followed him back to the house.

Upon arrival we found the fridge full of Harut and Chrystallia's organic home-grown tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and melon, plus fresh (so fresh it was still warm!) milk, eggs and bread. Home made jam and marmalade too! We were visited through out the week with more bread milk and figs too. There was a range of tea, some even from the linden tree!

The house is absolutely beautiful, and gorgeously done out. From the colour of the walls to the cast swan lamp fittings and the marble counter tops, its all beautifully done. Clean, homely and comfy.

We enjoyed days lazing about the house, reading on the porch and breakfasts outside. We drove to a different beach each day and enjoyed the beautiful swimming available. Every evening we drove to a different village to explore the wonderful winding paths and white houses and to sample a new taverna, and we didn't have a bad meal once.

Moreover, every person we met on Tinos was so warm, welcoming, friendly and kind, and that, more than anything was what struck us the most. I could go back tomorrow!!

Thank you Harut and Chrystallia, for all your help and hospitality
