Lovely apartment with amazing views

Loved this apartment, which has amazing views of the coast and sea. Agapi was a wonderful host and brought a basket of lovely pastries every day. The place was close to shops and restaurants yet quiet and peaceful.

Kleine Wohnung mit phantastischem Meerblick

Kleine, sehr gepflegte Wohnung mit phantastischem Meerblick. Wohnung liegt in der Altstadt etwa 100 m oberhalb des Hafens von Platanias. Leider liegt die Wohnung in einer nicht so gut gepflegten Umgebung. Direkt vor der Wohnung ist eine sehr staubige Baustelle. Wir wurden sehr herzlich von der Vermieterin empfangen, die uns tolle Tipps für die Insel gegeben hat. Ausserdem wurden wir jeden Morgen mit einem grossen Korb voll leckerer griechischer Backwaren verwöhnt.

Fabulous Holiday House

We have just returned from a 11 day stay at The Hillside Home. The house is comfortable and well equipped. It goes without saying the views are fab from the balcony as the photos show. The house is situated up in the old village a few minutes up the hill from the bustling resort area of Platanias. So if thats your thing its on your doorstep (and totally accessible without your own transport) However if you want peace and tranquility then the house offers this both inside and outside. The owner was responsive to any issues we had and delivered bread/pastries every day from her family bakery which were irresitable delicious treats! The only information missing from the listing is the only route up through the village and to the house is very narrow if you hire a car.Therefore we would definitely recommend a small car!
