United KingdomVilla Panorama is absolutely fantastic - it looks good in the pictures, but it's actually better in reality. It has everything you might need, a great TV, good wifi, the pool is warm and not too small, the beds are really comfy, there are blackout shutters on the windows if you want them + brand new sliding fly screens on all the doors and windows, and the showers work well.
In really hot weather it's a little bit tough walking back up the steep hill, but it really doesn't take very long - you can walk down to restaurants in maybe 7 minutes, and probably more like 15 to walk back up. The locals are all very friendly if you great them with a "Yas-as" as you go by, and it's a quieter and less touristy part of Greece. There's a wonderful and quiet beach about 3 minutes drive (up the hill, turn left, and there's a sign down to it on your left as you get to a right hand bend) - we found that the locals usually started to leave around lunchtime, meaning we got free umbrellas and loads of space, but there are no facilities. Soft sand once you are in the water, and a gentle slope. Asprogiali is further around and has a sign for the beach bar, which was very reasonably priced. The water dropped off quite deep quite quickly though, so not ideal for young kids if it's wavey. Mytikas has a very long beach which is soft sand underfoot once you're in the water, and there is a beach bar there too.
Dimitri and Maria are lovely people, always willing to provide help and recommendations via text and phone, in good English. Dimitri will come to the villa very quickly (I mean, 10 minutes) if you have any issues (I managed to get a sink plug stuck and he came and fixed it), which is really impressive. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Blue Fish restaurant was our favourite - reasonably priced and very good quality. Alexandra Sweet Art makes the best desserts EVER.
