Amazing location. Quite a drive from Athens but worth it. Friendly host who goes the extra mile. Good Tavernas nearby .

Giannis' Haus liegt direkt am Meer unterhalb des kleinen Dorfs Kastro. Es besteht aus 2 Stockwerken: - im EG: ein großes Wohnzimmer, eine sehr gut ausgestattete Küche (auch wenn die Herdplatten und der Ofen etwas älter sind, aber alles funktioniert gut), ein Schlafzimmer (mit Doppelbett und Aussicht aufs Meer) und ein Badezimmer mit Dusche. Eine große überdachte Terrasse ergänzt das EG. - im 1. Stock: 2 Schlafzimmer mit Aussicht aufs Meer (2 Einzelbetten im linken Schlafzimmer, das nachts angenehm kühl ist, 1 Doppelbett im rechten Schlafzimmer) und ein Badezimmer mit Badewanne. Alle Fenster sowie die Eingangstür sind mit Mückennetzen ausgestattet. Im ganzen Haus hat man eine sehr gute und schnelle Internet-Verbindung. - Der Garten vor dem Haus bietet viele schattige Plätze sowie, hinter dem Haus, unterschiedliche Obstbäume, von denen man sich Obst pflücken darf. Giannis, der sehr freundliche Vermieter, wohnt etwa 5 Minuten entfernt und ist sofort da, falls man etwas braucht. Er bemüht sich sehr, damit man sich in seinem Haus wohl fühlt. Die Insel ist nicht sehr touristisch, aber sehr schön (uns haben die Drimona-Wasserfälle mit ihren Gumpen sehr gut gefallen). Als wir dort waren, war das Meer wunderbar warm. Wir haben eine sehr schöne Zeit bei Giannis verbracht und empfehlen sein Haus wärmstens.

Giannis was the best host we ever had. Gave us Greek dishes and grilled octopus for us. All household items, salt and pepper, laundry detergent, etc. were provided. Great location, far enough from Kefki to avoid noise and traffic but close enough to get there in 10 minutes. Fruit trees were blooming, we had a surfeit of lemons, cherries and plums. Calm water for snorkeling.

Wunderschön gelegen, sehr angenehm. Tolle Unterstützung durch Giannis! Jederzeit wieder

Fantastically beautiful. Perfect location directly at the sea. Probably the best holiday home we ever had. The house has a great atmosphere, is large and fully equipped as described. The sea has also in September a pleasant swimming temperature and snorkeling is also fun here. Great sunsets! A great place to relax, which we will gladly come back to. We also had the opportunity to meet Giannis, who is not only an excellent cook but also a very nice person. Thank you for the great time!

Όλα ήταν εξαιρετικά

We already knew and loved the area for its natural beauty and peace, and this house and its host allowed us to fully enjoy them! We (me and my wife, our two boys 4 and 6, and my parents) stayed 12 nights and the end of July 2020, and I would definitely recommend others to do the same. Our host was very nice, a real people person who seemed always delighted to have guests share his “slice of paradise” as he called it. He was also very responsive- we had only one issue while there - on a Sunday evening around 9pm - and he was there in under 10 minutes and quickly had things sorted. While there, we cooked many meals ourselves, but also enjoyed a few meals out. We discovered that there is a taverna just a couple hundred meters away along the beach, offering both good seafood as well as excellent meats from their own production. Their homemade Feta cheese is also among the best in Greece, and there is a basic playground for the kids to enjoy. For a little variety, we also took a few trips into nearby Pefki (a quick 10 minute drive away) where there are plenty of restaurants to suit any palette- as long as you like Greek food. ;-) A downside to the general area is that the roads aren’t all that great, so SUV type cars may fare a little better. Having said that, we were able to survive with our VW Sharan minivan by simply taking it slow when needed and looking to avoid the potholes. As for traveling with children, the house was pretty well suited to it, with latches on the balcony doors preventing them from going out unsupervised. Having said that, we did have to establish rules about not playing around the outside dining table, as there is no guardrail there to prevent the 1+ meter drop. Ditto the internal stairs (though a wall starting halfway up does mitigate a lot of this risk). Obviously there were also rules about visits to the beach, but the yard generally provided a nice safe place for the boys to run around. I would probably think twice about bringing a toddler here, but older kids like mine who obey rules pretty well should fare just fine as long as the parents do their part in establishing and enforcing good practices. Be aware that while you have relative privacy here, you don’t have a complete monopoly on the beach, as Greek custom allows for anyone to come in and use any section of beach, even if it is in front of another person’s house, so that happened occasionally. All in all, a great trip I would gladly make again!
