This villa is absolutely perfect. From the moment we were met by Galina, the housekeeper, and she let us through the beautiful pale blue gate into the garden, which was full of lavender smelling gorgeous, we knew we had made the right choice.
Inside the villa is cool, immaculately clean and tastefully decorated, well equipped and comfortable. Loads of hot water and a powerful shower. If you had wanted to, there would have been no need to leave! Lounging by the pool or in one of the hidden spaces, playing table tennis, having a BBQ and watching the sunset over the sea. Galina came every day to freshen up and brought us a delicious lunch on one of the days. Georgia has left tasty treats for us on arrival.
However, this would be a mistake as there are so many beautiful things to see nearby. The tiny beaches of Kamilia and Dafnoudi are close by and involve short walks to the coves where swimming is perfect and, when we were there, almost empty.
The small harbour town of Fiskardo is lively with lots of lovely restaurants and little shops as well as a good supermarket.
Walking out of the back of the villa takes you on a wooded trail past ruins and then to a beautiful church from where you can sit and watch a herd of goats in the field, filling the air with the gentle sound of bells.
The little village of Maganos has several lovely little bars and an excellent local shop.
Travel further afield to Assos, the Melisini Cave and you won’t be disappointed!
Go tomorrow 🙂
