Nickolas’ place is a unique small home in a historic location. My wife, Monica, and I didn’t completely know what to expect when we booked this house that was already a couple of hundreds of years old when Christopher Columbus got lost on his journey to India and bumped into America, but we are thrilled we did. The atmosphere is quite different from the typical vacation experience in the best way possible.
Getting to Kastro by taxi, car, or bus is easy, but once there you are free from vehicles as only people, dogs, and cats can enter the old city. You will be staying in a fortified castle town secure against roving pirates, and intertwined with narrow and picturesque alleys and pathways. A cobblestone walkway encircles the ancient walls and provides a wonderful view of the deep blue Aegean Sea.
Your home is long and narrow; it’s how they built them back then. The walls are a meter thick and the ceiling is tall. A nice bathroom and shower occupy the center, and an outdoor kitchenette nestled within a protected alcove adjoins the balcony with a view of the old port of the city. Several very good restaurants and breakfast places are just a few minutes away.
I highly recommend Nicholas’ place for the adventurous looking for a new and unique experience. My wife and I loved it!
