As other reviewers have noted, this is truly a special place. The welcome from Niko (in absentia) and from his absolutely adorable aunt (who greeted us literally with open arms), could not have been warmer.
The house is a beautifully renovated old stone property, which has been in Niko’s family for many generations. It is achingly tasteful, and very faithful to its 18th-Century origins. It is well appointed, with all of the necessary conveniences of modern life, and brilliantly well located for all of the delights of Lefkes. There’s also a certain joy in opening the door to a house that seems to be photographed by every passing day-tripper; one can only sense that other visitors are rather jealous not to be staying where you are!
Lefkes boasts a number of excellent tavernas - we particularly enjoyed Aranto, but a minute’s walk away. Another highlight was the kafeneion next to the church.
We’d go back to Niko’s place in a heartbeat. Many thanks for making us feel so welcome.
