I initially booked my stay at a different property using another website and things did not go well at all. So I decided to look on AIRBN for another option. When I first stumble Villa Athina, it seemed to good to be true but I know most people write honest reviews on AIRBN so I decided to request the booking right away and Athena responded to my request almost immediately. I explained what had happened with our stay at the island and she allowed us to come and check in right away (12ish) which is a very early check in considering their rules say check in starts at 3pm so I am extremely grateful for that. Athena’s place is exactly as described and it looks just as beautiful in person as it does in pictures. Athena is a gracious host, communication is great and she is very accommodating.
Her place is about 35-40 minutes from town but it was perfect for our family as we were looking for quiet and relaxing stay which is exactly what Villa Athina provides. Our villa was extremely spacious with a full and well equipped kitchen and washing machine. Athena’s family owns a restaurant next door to the property. Food is delicious and the atmosphere is great family style dinning. They also provide breakfast at the villa upon request for a fair fee. They also operate a pool side bar in property with a great variety of offers from coffee, cocktails to milkshakes. The pool is very nice, my children enjoyed it very much. The place was extremely clean. I have nothing but great comments about this place and Athena so I am going to stop here as this review can go on for a very long time. Don’t hesitate to book your stay, you wont regret it. I can’t wait to be back!
