As I was planning my 50th birthday celebration, one key element was to find a home base on a Greek island where family and friends could come, relax and enjoy everything Greece has to offer including a traditional Greek meal that we could all help prepare and enjoy. Sounds simple enough… but there were 20 + of us. I figured I would need a couple of villas and few hotel rooms, and having us close together was probably not going to happen. Then I stumbled across the Blue Greens Eco Luxury villas. In a word..Amazing !! This place truly is incredible, it was able to accommodate all of us and offered all of the amenities of a fancy hotel but still managed to have a cozy laid back feel. The architecture is fantastic staying true to the Cycladic style giving everyone many areas to escape for calm and serene moments away from the rest of the group. And then there is the large outdoor resort like pool area with a bbq, outdoor bar, kitchen, showers and massive dining table which worked perfectly for the birthday celebration. And if you plan to cook your own meals, you need not run to the store for herbs. All the fresh herbs you can think of are right there on the property and available for use.. just pick away! And last but not least… our hosts Alkistis and her son. They exemplify Greek hospitality or φιλοξενία . Very attentive and helpful. They answered all of our questions and were responsive no matter what time we needed them. They offered great recommendations and advice. They all went above and beyond to make our stay amazing and the birthday memorable. I highly recommend staying here!
