Die Lage am Berghang mit Blick über die Bucht von Kissamos aufs Meer ist traumhaft. Das Haus ist sehr großzügig angelegt und möbliert, ebenso der Außenbereich mit Pool. Leider ist zwischen FeWo-direkt und den Besitzern ein Makler zwischengeschaltet. Dieser hatte unsere Buchung nicht weitergeleitet und war telefonisch nicht erreichbar. Das Haus war nicht geputzt und vorbereitet (Betten überziehen, ...). Die Besitzerin hat sich bemüht, das so schnell wie möglich nachzuholen, was aber einerseits eine Wartezeit von fast drei Stunden bedeutete und andererseits beim Putzen nur das Allernötigste umfasste. Am Abend entdeckten wir dann noch mehrere Kakerlaken! Die Eiegntümerin besorgte am nächsten Tagen ein Gift, aber einigen von uns war der Aufenthalt dadurch verdorben. Der Pool wurde nach unserem Eintreffen einmal geputzt, danach nicht mehr. Die Umwälzpumpe war nicht eingeschaltet. Der Pool konnte leider nicht benutzt werden. Auch die Eigentümer (die direkt nebenan wohnen) waren schlecht zu erreichen, das sie den ganzen Tag zum Arbeiten weg waren. Wenn dieses Haus ordentlich gepflegt werden würde, wäre es ein absoluter Traum, so blieb uns nur der atemberaubende Blick aufs Meer und das besondere Flair von Kissamos. ##### Stefan V.
