Accommodation

We have a wide selection of beautiful private villas and historic houses on a selection of the most beautiful Greek islands. The following is a short guide to the islands which we have selected

 
The Dodecanese Islands

The outer-lying islands of the Aegean Sea are very different one from the other. The only real linking feature being their vicinity to the Turkish mainland and a strong cultural influence despite their animosity and the distance from Athens. This distance resulted in each island developing a very strong individual personality very seperate from mainland Greece.

Leros

There is nothing special about Leros to draw the tourist which is exactly why we love this island. The cruise ships and the tourists tend to pass by on the way to other more famous destinations leaving Leros as a pleasant unspoiled, friendly island perfect for a relaxing holiday. The island has good traditional tavernas, attractive villages and good if not spectacular beaches. It has lots of little coves best discovered by small boat for diving and swimming and is surrounded by other smaller islands many of which make a great day trip.

Rhodos - Lindos village

Rhodes is a large island which attracts every type of tourism. We have fallen in love with the village of Lindos. Nestling under the mountaintop acropolis and dividing two beautiful bays. It is the wonderful Captain's Houses that are in our view the most unique feature of Lindos and represent some of the most beautiful historic houses in the world. The internal courtyards often planted with lemon trees provide total peace and privacy whereas the upstairs rooms and terraces provide beautiful views over the village and the glittering sea beyond. The town can get a bit overrun in high season during the day but that is to be expected in such a pictoresque town but at night the town empties out.  There is a great beach, attractive bars,  a number of excellent restaurants and good nightlife. This a good destination for families with a large spread of ages and interests or those who want to have fun but be able to retreat into their own private garden and relax.

Patmos

At the Northern end of the Dodecanese chain, it was the historic town of Chiora with its massive walled monastery above that attracted us to the island at first. The houses are very special here too, grand and opulent in some cases and all with spectacular mountaintop views. The rest of the island is also charming with good beaches, several attractive villages and tavernas. The island is increasingly attracting the well healed of Europe and the States who appreciate the cultural richness of the island and its scenic beauty.
