Guesthouse Services
Cleaning services are available once a week.. Additional
services can be arranged as requested for 45 Euros a day
(normally around 4-5 hours). We only ask that you let us know when you book so that we can have the staff ready for you. As we are determined to be an eco-friendly home, we use only non-toxic cleaners.
Groceries
For some of you who are traveling from
afar and are in need of basic groceries to tide you over for
the day until you can do your own shopping, we will be happy
to accommodate you. There is a charge of 45 Euros.
Important info
At the villa, we have a three ring binder
full of information on the villa and the area, including maps.
However, having traveled widely ourselves to many foreign places,
we know what it means to be arriving, with a horrendous lack
of sleep and exhausted in a country that does not speak your
language! It all sounds Greek to you! Well, don't worry, when
you have arrived at the villa and rested a bit, we will be happy
to drive you around to show you the area and familiarize you
quickly with some of the local spots you will find very useful
(restaurants, banks, grocery stores, the beach etc.) If we are
not there at the time, then our property manager will handle
everything for you.

Tours, taxi, day trips to Athens and other sites of antiquity
The best way to see Athens is to take the
bus into the city and use it's excellent subway system. Three alternatives
exist for visiting sites outside Athens such as Delphi, Epidavros,
etc. The first alternative is organized day trip bus tours to these
places. Their current fees vary from €50 to €100 Euros
per person. The second is to hire a private tour which runs from
€180 to €300 euros for the day dependent upon the distance.
The third is to drive your self. Driving outside Athens is not difficult
and easily done. For most groups, the private tours or rental car
options are definitely more economical than an organized tour and
are far more rewarding as you can stop or deviate when ever you
wish.
We recommend our favorite private tour
service by "Stavros". A high percentage of our guests have used
his services with excellent feedback. Stavros and his lovely
wife Rosa, speak English very well, and have traveled widely
around the world themselves. They can recommend wonderfully
day trips and trekking spots (their specialty). They can tailor
your stay and activity based on your interests, length of time
you want to spend, where and how often you want to stop. All
you need is ask.
Stavros can drive his car or yours! Your choice!
Just write to Rosa
