Tilos With Kids
Review Submitted: August 3, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
Fantastic villa, fantastic location. As parents with 3 kids, our priority was the villa and pool and the weather and we got all 3! Swimming in the pool, you are not only are you flanked by gorgeous mountains but you can also take in a glorious view of the sea.
Villa: spacious with everything you need. Good quality beds too.The roof terrace at night just wonderful - shooting star heaven. Note: we've had problems with previous Greek locations with dogs barking at night. This villa's location only suffered sporadically from this and the owner's were aware. It didn't spoil our holiday and didn't keep us awake. Insects were few and far between - no mozis at all.
Pool: perfect. We based a couple of home days around it.
Tilos: it gets under your skin. We stayed for 2 weeks and that wasn't long enough. Our itinerary was not overly ambitious. Recommend the beautiful walk down to Nikolas Bay which you can do from the villa - you can swim there but the walk is better. Do stop and talk to the goat man and he may reward your interest with water melon and herbs. Also good is walk up to the Castle, also from the villa, great panoramic views. Do the buses, they're great fun.
Beaches: predominantly pebble-based with some patches of sand. We went to Livadia, Eritos and Plaka. As a family our favourite was Livadia as the snorkelling there was the best (and also the availability of beer).
Travelling: good luck with that. We took 24 from door to door and it's particularly hard on the way back! Well worth it though.
Rob & Annie: very nice, very laid back villa owners. They have an identical villa within the same compound and also make available one of their cars for hire on an ad hoc basis for 20 Euros a day. Our son had his birthday over there and they let us use their scooter to take him down town!
Owner's Response: Thanks for the review and for doing it so propmtly! Very nice family, we hope to see you again sometime.
