I think I found a new family member- while Dimitrios’s mom and my parents might actually be related, Dimitrios himself is one of the best hosts on Airbnb history hands down. Not only did he accommodate leaving some bags before our official checkin, but he got us some fresh fruit from the market and pointed out some places we should check out, routes we should take and little other tips and tricks to blend in with the local crowd. I’m an artist and I walked almost all of Parikia trying to find a more beautiful street to draw and I couldn’t- this little neighborhood is going to be THE place you want to be. I still dream about the few nights I spent there and hope to be back for longer sometime soon.
Don’t even think about it twice- it’s worth every penny. You’ll thank me, Dimitrios and yourself later ☺️
