Manolis ist ein hervorragender Gastgeber. Trotz rudimentärer Fremdsprachenkenntnisse war er immer sehr offen und zuvorkommend und hatte immer einen Spaß für die Kinder auf Lager. Die ganze Organisation und Kommunikation lief ansonsten über Bärbel, welche immer gut erreichbar war. Die Ortschaft ist ländlich, jedoch mit guten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und zum Teil erstklassigen Restaurants. Volle Empfehlung. ##### Katja S. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2020 ---
