Schöne Häuser, die mit etwas mehr Pflege, und vollständigem Geschirr und Grundausstattung das perfekte Ferienziel sein könnten. (Zu wenig Gläser, kein Krug, keine Putztücher etc.)

We thank you for taking the time to review our property and for all your valued remarks, as we believe excellent accommodation comes from constant improvement. We are sorry if you missed anything from the kitchen utensils. But since we are always available for inquiries, you could have asked for anything extra and it would be provided immediately. We would love to welcome you again to our beautiful island and offer you another memorable stay! Vicky Stavropoulou - Reservations Department
Apart from the cleanliness of the property, the very friendly staff and a lovely pool, the location is difficult to beat. Should you have a car, there is private parking at the end of a short narrow road. However, it is then possible to enjoy a very short stroll to the beach, as well as a slightly longer one to the supermarket and some wonderful restaurants. We loved it!
