Kind Words

 I thought we'd share this lovely email.... ah, thank you Natsai and Paul.
 

 
Dear Alison and Tony,
 
I’ve been meaning to write this email since touching-down at Gatwick just over a week ago but have been swamped with work since (which always seems to be the way after a holiday).

We both wanted to say what a wonderful time we had in Alonissos. From the moment we caught our first taxi up to the Old Village we fell in love with it. The island was so peaceful and the people so lovely. Your cottage itself is beautiful and we felt ourselves very lucky to return there each evening. We wanted for nothing at all whilst there – it was perfectly appointed for those on vacation. Your range of maps and guide books deserve special mention as they helped us get the most from our week there: we hiked everywhere, took a boat to the marine park (saw Dolphins!), drove to Steni Vala, visited numerous beaches, ate delicious food daily. I’ve been to some places but the sunset from Kalovoulos alone at the summit will take some beating. Having the context provided by your guidebooks made us even more appreciative of what a special island Alonissos is.

Everyone said we got the timing spot on. All of the seasonal amenities were available yet barely any tourists had arrived. Most days we’d be the only people on a given beach. The day before we left the first Old Village coach tours had started so I don’t think we could’ve been any luckier in that regard.

All in all it was the holiday we were both desperate for and exceeded our already high expectations. The whole experience captured our imaginations and we will definitely return in the future. We can’t thank you enough for permitting us to stay in your home – it really made our holiday. If you’d like an endorsement for your ownersdirect.co.uk page then please feel free to use any of the quotes from this letter (though my description barely does it justice). Thanks again for a stress-free holiday booking and one of the best holidays we’ll ever have.

All the best.
Natsai and Paul

This is a phone camera panoramic view of Chrissy Millia Beach one day in May.  As you can see we had the whole beach to ourselves.... it was heaven!
