Perfect Vacation Home for Family
The home was perfect for 6 of us. We loved the layout of the house and its proximity to the beach. The pool was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed grilling on the outdoor wood grill. Dimitris and his mother were terrific! We had some issues understanding one of the sliding doors and Maria (Dimitris’ mother) came by to assist and even brought delicious Greek pastries for us. We would stay again in a heartbeat!
