Der Gastgeber Manos war jederzeit per Mail und whatts App erreichbar, bei Fragen oder Tipps. Vor Ort war dann auch Giorgos. Sehr unkomplizierter, angenehmer Austausch. Das Haus hat eine tolle Lage in Plakias und die Bilder entsprechen absolut dem, was man vor Ort auch vorfindet.Bei der Ausstattung hat es an nichts gemangelt.
