Wow. WHAT A VIEW. Seven of us (friends in our early 40s) rented this villa in September and it did not disappoint. We had the most wonderful time. Lots of outdoor spaces to hang out in for different times of day - we did poolside in the mornings, the covered hangout area by the pool for cocktail hour and the lower dining area for dinner and after-dinner drinks. Kitchen was well appointed with everything to cook & serve up amazing meals and apps, which we did daily! Definitely recommend going down to Agios Sostis beach right at the bottom of the hill & eating at Kiki's Taverna - as many other reviewers have suggested. Most people were wearing bathing suits, but clothing is definitely optional! That added to the whole Aegean experience ;) There are guys down there who walk the beach with coolers of beer you can buy individually, which is nice. We rented cars - the villa is secluded. If you can get away with renting TINY cars, I'd definitely suggest that as the roads are NARROW and steep and you must contend with lots of ATVs and mopeds on the roads. Other little things: The tap water is not drinkable so be sure to stock up on bottled water before you get to the house - Flora Market right by the airport was a great food shopping experience and had everything we needed. If you are a cat lover you'll be pleased at the sweet island cats who come by to say hello. It was very windy while we were there too so bring an extra layer - but the weather was gorgeous. Katerina was excellent and so responsive to all of our questions. We'll never forget our week at the Golden Dunes - thanks so much!!
