This was not just a stay, but an amazing experience. Evi and her father are incredible hosts who gave us the opportunity to step back in time and live in a traditional Cycladic home. Their 300-year-old house has all the basic conveniences and is mostly furnished with beautiful family antiques. The location is also amazing--on a hilltop, just a short drive from the port village of Katapola. There is a beach within a walking distance at the bottom of the hill; also within a walking distance are the ruins of a 4000-year-old Minoan temple. Best of all, however, was the family's heartfelt hospitality. They met us at the port and took us to to the house where they had left fresh eggs, vegetables and homemade baking for us. It happened to be my birthday during the stay for which they surprised me with an incredible cake baked by a family member and a bottle of bubbly. We are really grateful for our stay and can't recommend Evi's place enough to anyone looking for a genuine experience.
