I spent a week here with my two children, 8 and 3 and it was a perfect, peaceful, family time.
The sea is close, and the small beaches dotted along the coast near the house present us a variety of possibilities for time by the beach, all within walking distance of the house! My son loves to snorkel around the rocks and see what wildlife he can find: crabs, fish, eels,..The sea is clean, clear and fresh here.
You can watch the small fishing boats, morning and evening pass along the sea in front of the house.
* a little known fact: there is a resort that used to be a Club Med, 6 km down the coast from here* - so, all the gorgeous setting of a Club Med, and few other people! perfect.
The dogs are tied up, so no worries there with them approaching the kids, but it's nice to have them there, they let you know when anyone is approaching the house. Which doesn't happen often. this is a very rural, family, agricultural part of Greece where you can simply BE.
Katakolo is a fun day out, with fantastic shopping, restaurants, music and general busy-ness.
There 's very well known Greek vineyard 1 km away: Merkouri, worth a visit if you like your wine.
And the village itself, and surrounding villages, have a few fantastic tavernas with local food of the highest quality (we subjected it to the 'taste test!). And Soooooo kid-friendly.
The hosts are friendly, while respecting your space and will do all they can to ensure your stay is comfortable and calm.
A place like no other,... a peace of heaven,.... in Greece.
there is good phone reception, if you need that.
