A little piece of heaven!
Location, location, location! Stunning views across the sea straits to the Albanian mountains. Very pretty, sea facing courtyard garden, on 2 levels with a variety of seating and tables, along with a seat and sun loungers for private use of villa residents on the beach outside the cottage. Perfect for early morning coffee while watching passing yachts and boats. Quiet beach area, felt like our own private beach most of the time. The owners, who live next door, are very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. The villa was very clean and linen/towels changed regularly, bins emptied frequently too. We hired a car to explore the local mountain roads, stopping off for Greek coffees and meeting the locals sat at tiny cafes in the mountain villages, and many beautiful views to the coast. Most of the mountain villages are easily accessible, provided you have a head for heights on some of the hairpin bends! The nearby peninsula, Emeritus Nature Reserve has an abundance of wildlife including an evening frog chorus from the pond at the back of Avlaki beach as the suns sets. Taverna Galini on the sea edge at Agios Stefanos is worth a special mention - high quality seafood and Greek cuisine at very reasonable prices, beautiful scenery while we ate.Nearby Kassiopi town has all the amenities you may need. We've already reserved weeks to return next year - such a beautiful holiday hideaway!
