This vacation was so important to my family. Roughly 20 years ago, my husband lived in Greece for a year while serving in the Navy; that was before children. And although they’ve heard many stories, our goal was to one day allow them to experience the beautiful beaches and culture first hand. In addition, our group of 6 travelers had many things to celebrate (4 milestone birthdays and 2 college graduations). This house did not disappoint!
The property, the views, and the tranquil atmosphere are all much more beautiful than photos or words can describe. The people we met in the local coffee shops and restaurants were so welcoming and fun to be around. The beaches were abundant and absolutely breathtaking!! But the highlight of the trip was the hospitality and kindness shown by Vassilis and Alexandros; our hosts/owners. They communicated with us before, during, and after our stay...on a level that made us feel like more than renters/customers. Their willingness to go above and beyond to provide tips and suggestions to ensure we had every opportunity for an amazing island experience helped us get the most out of our trip. From car rentals, to restaurant recommendations/reservations, to beaches, etc. their response was always to accomadate and/or facilitate every request. Even when our late plane arrival caused us to miss the last ferry to the island, Alex was proactively seeking out alternative solutions to transport my family of 6 and our 12 suitcases from Athens to Andros. Because of all of these things, we were actually able to vacation and leave our worries behind. Start to finish - this was a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vacation.
