Our stay at the ‘pink castle’ as the locals call it was really really special and as our first trip away since the pandemic we couldn’t of picked a better place.
From the moment we arrived we were so relaxed and made to feel so welcome by Katerina who’s hospitality was perfect. The baked goods you shared with us were delicious and so appreciated as well as always being so kind and friendly when we saw you, for that we are so grateful as we’ve never had that in an air bnb before.
The area is as others have said remote but that worked for us. We used taxis to explore the island and whilst this was an expensive option it still worked out cheaper than hiring a car for what we did. Saying that a car or moped would be a good idea if you want to fully explore the island but for us we were happy to relax in and around the pool/property.
The small shop you can walk to had everything you needed and we loved the olive oil museum that is also within walking distance and got some great produce to take back home. There is also a beach within walking distance too which is quiet and has a new beach bar so you really don’t need much more if you’re looking to get away and truly relax.
I would not hesitate to come back to Galini and stay at the cave house, we had an amazing time so thank you to Katerina, Anastasia and Joseph for welcoming us to your place!
