First thing to say is that we had a great time. Vathi is such a special place to stay, quiet and without cars (not allowed) and not too busy apart from the relaxed patrons at the handful of tranquil tavernas scattered along the bay by the waters edge: tavernas that serve some very delicious food i might add. The summer house is right next to the beach, separated only by a few steps, and is situated at the end of the bay. It sits slightly higher than some of the houses and from it’s terrace it gives a beautiful elevated view of the bay, the houses and tavernas along the beach and the hills that surround the bay. As the sun goes down you can sit and watch the light recede and the water begin to glisten and dance in the darkness or watch the very visible stars or listen to the gentle tapping of ropes on the masts of the few moored yachts. Just sit back and relax with a drink and take it all in before you go out to dinner at one of the tavernas. The beaches around the bay are all lovely too, with a few secluded coves where you can sunbathe and swim alone if you choose, and in one of the coves you can find the local potter. Very friendly people too, the intimacy of the bay seems to enhance this and friends are made easily if you want them. Sofia the host was lovely and helped us with any queries we had. She also made delicious jam that was waiting for us when we arrived. She could not have been more accommodating and helpful. And in case of emergencies her friend Anna lives close by and was always on hand if needed. For the entire holiday we ate and drank and swam, made new friends and had some much needed rest in this very tranquil place. We never tired of the bay and all its riches. The Kalokeraki Summer House is excellent value for money. We Definitely recommend a visit. Vathi is a very special place.
