The food was amazing, and the staff adapted the menu to meet a 10year olds needs!
But she also tried traditional Greek food too.
The breakfasts really set you up for the day.
Plenty of coffee!

How could we improve the quality of pre-holiday information that we send?

The only downside for a non-rider was that it is very remote, we hired a car, but it was a long drive to anywhere.
As a rider it is in a perfect spot.

How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?

Everything went smoothly
