A lovely location in a beautiful townhouse/villa in a peaceful part of Greece...
It was our first time to Greece and we really enjoyed our stay there. The place where we stayed, near Schinias beach, was a very spacious 5 bedroom, 2 bathrooms villa/townhouse in a quiet & peaceful part of Greece but still not far to the capital. From the villa the views of the mountains and nearby island was breath-taking. There is also a lovely shared swimming pool which my children really enjoyed using. They have never stayed in a place with a swimming pool before so it was very exciting for them. And within a short walk down from the villa there is a rocky beach with beautifully clear waters where we were able to snorkel & watch the little fishes swimming everywhere.
We were made very welcome from Rosa who managed the place. She even came to find us when we got lost in the car on the way to the villa!! Her husband, Stavros, does special tours so we hired him for the day to take us across by ferry to a remote place on an island where we were able to swim under a beautiful natural waterfall and enjoy the waves of a remote beach location used mainly by campers. By end of day he took us to a very local greek tavern where we were able to try out some fantastic local delicacies (such as goat stew) which were amazing.
Overall, everyone had a wonderful & memorable experience in Greece and of the warm hospitality of the Greek locals. My only advice is to make sure you hire a car as this is essential for getting around various places. To get to the capital city, it is advisable to park the car in Pallini & take the train to the Acropolis or Syntagma Square. I was a little hesitant about driving in Greece but it was very easy but make sure you have a satnav device available at all times. We hired one at the car rental.
The world may be a big place but we most definitely hope to return to Greece again one day.
