Holiday rentals near Destenika Beach

Viktoria and her husband were at the property to welcome us and show us around which was a nice personal touch. They were very kind and even left us watermelon and their homemade olive oil! As a family holiday home, it was filled with personal items and little touches which gave it a comfortable homely feel. Everything we needed was there. The only slight surprise was that the downstairs bedroom was only accessible from the outside so felt seperate from the rest of the house. Aircon units in the bedrooms would be recommended as the noise of neighbouring dogs meant leaving windows open at night was not an option plus it was so hot the ceiling fans could not cope. Only a minor issue though and not a problem in daytime. We loved the view from the large terrace - absolutely stunning. Being able to walk into the town was very useful as it is very busy in August and parking is tricky. The beach was very nice - sandy with clear turquoise sea. We preferred sitting at the castle ruins end near the paddle boards. The local restaurants were average, we found food in neighbouring Porto Koufo (5 minutes by car) to be much better. Tzitzikas is outstanding! We'd thoroughly recommend staying in this beautiful home, missing it already, thank you so much for having us Viktoria & Byron :-)

We’ve just enjoyed a fantastic week here. The villa is in a very peaceful location and is very tastefully decorated inside - it has everything you could need and the fresh flowers are a nice touch. If you love wildlife and being surrounded by nature, you will love it here! So many insects and birds all around. There are many beautiful beaches only a short drive away, with plenty of tavernas. The owner, Io, was lovely - very welcoming and only a phone call away if you need anything. We highly recommend this villa for a relaxing break in a beautiful part of the country. Thank you Io!
