We stayed at Skala in Maria's house from July 31st to August 5th 2018. We were five people, two adults and three kids,
We were the first guests in the country house of Maria and Dora. Also the grandmother was there to welcome us; a very nice lady, who makes a good moussaka and some delicious cookies.
The accomodation is a typical country house. True, not fake. So do not expect interior designer toouch, trendy furnishings, dim lights, bathrooms that could be confused with living rooms. Everything is practical, functional, simple, considering the place, we should say: Spartan. It returns a sense of real, not sophisticated and not artifact.
You will have plenty of space, many rooms, large and spacious. An airy kitchen and veranda, where it's pleasant to have breakfast and dinner. A roof on which one can go with a chair and read in solitude.
The house is immersed in an orange grove. Offering ripe oranges in July and August. Very sweet, very good.
You stay absorbed in the silence of nature, not imagining anything more relaxing. You sleep in a natural cool, without the need for conditioners or fans.
The price is cheap. You can park the car just inside the gate.
Nearby there are beaches not taken by assault by tourists even in the hottest periods, fresh and good food at affordable prices. Get advice from Dora, who knows all the best addresses.
The location can be excellent as a base for going to the beaches in the surroundings and to visit the Peloponnese, with its historical finds, elegant cities, perched monasteries, uncrowded beaches, beautiful caves, all at low prices and in a relaxed and jovial way of being.
