We spent 12 days in Ellinika at „The love nest“ and had a perfect summer vacation. Everything went smooth and easy. The place is located almost in the middle of the island and can be reached only on a pittoresque mule path by walking down a couple of minutes from the main street. From there, you can directly start several hiking trips on the island since the house is located near to two official hiking paths. The climate is very agreeable, a couple of degrees cooler than in the village or the port.
The old stone house has been renovated beautifully and decorated with taste. It is perfectly clean, looks as in the pictures and comes with a lovely bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. The view from the terrace on the Eastern part of the island, the sea and Kithnos is amazing. It is a perfect spot for nature lovers and the for ones who need a break and some rural quietness. However, nature is pretty noisy out there, with the cycadas singing. While hiking, you will see old oak and olive trees, mediterranean flowers, many and different butterflies, dragonflies, spiders as well as donkeys, horses, goats, cows and sheep.
Nota has been a warm and very friendly host welcoming us with a bag full of local delicacies and providing all necessary information. Communication and organisation were uncomplicated and fast.
We have definitely spent a very relaxing and restful summer vacation and I would love to go back!
