Fantastic location, plenty of space, quite secluded...
Greek Blue Sea Villas include three houses (very well thought out in terms of privacy!) situated in a very large uphill yard. The property has well integrated buildings, parking space and a rock garden in which natural and man-made parts mingle beautifully. The yard - in spite of being little attended to - is very appealing, with eukalypti, carob and orange trees, vines, bees, lizzards, etc. Generous outdoor space (terraces) for any time of the day. The yard/garden/terraces are so appealing that very often you do not feel the need to go out.
However, there are some things about this property that you should know before you decide to rent it.
1) Car is absolutely necessary. You will need it even for reaching the bakery or the nearest beach. Also, the nearest shop is in Neapoli (10 km).
2) The property is outside the village of Vikglafia, in a quite secluded place, with no public illumination. The yard is also not lit so you'd better bring a strong flashlight with you.
3) The place is not suitable for toddlers or for elderly people, as the flight of stairs in the garden or to the terraces are rather steep and rocky.
4) Watch out for your belongings (cash, cards, passports); better not leave valuable things in the house while you are away. The house we stayed in was broken into and all our cash was stolen. We are grateful to the burglars that they did not take our credit cards and passports... After this episode we wanted to leave but we liked too much the place.
5) There is no reliable WiFi/internet connection.
6) The village of Vikglafia may not be too picturesque (numerous unfinished or deserted houses!) but it is certainly much better than the cramped Elafonissos. Also it has splendid wild sandy beaches with pristine waters.
In conclusion, the place is awesome, large and airy, and a good headquarter for exploring the beautiful spots around. But try to gather a larger group (the more the merrier!) or the place may feel a little unsecure!
