Perfection
We were greeted by a friendly and more than accommodating husband and wife host upon our arrival. There was a problem with a former renter and a locksmith was involved. Apostolos offered to send us to a local beach club to eat while they fixed the problem. We graciously accepted. When we were able to enter the property we saw a beautiful home with art and character, with a perfect layout for our family. The outside pool area was peaceful and well maintained. It had as much character as the inside. It was a perfect space to unwind in and felt so much like home for our three young children. It was quiet in the morning and in a central location for us to drive and experience so much of the part of Greece we enjoy. We had no issues while we were there and if we had a question the host was very responsive. We could not have had a better experience with the property and the hosts. The host also booked us a catamaran sailing cruise at the end of our trip through his company. It was an amazing end to our vacation. We feel lucky to have found this secure and private gem so close to our favorite locations in Greece.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Kyriaki was a great host. The place is beautiful with the outdoor pool and grounds exceeding our expectations. Kyriaki helped us with our transportation needs and was able to recommend great restaurants and things to do in the area. We were greeted with a gift basket full of yummy treats which was great because we were famished from the ferry ride. The communication was excellent. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a stay outside of Athens and can’t say enough about our experience with Kyriaki. We always stay at Airbnb when we travel with our family and this is by far one of the best!!!

Spent a week in Saronic Island onboard a yacht skippered by George - absolutely a highlight of my year! We were 7 friends and everyone had the best time. The yacht was well-equipped, the route was excellent with beautful sights, George is a great skipper, flexible, respectful and really fun to be around - he become a real part of the group during the trip. Wholeheartedly recommend this company, top marks!
