The Villa MoonRay was an excellent choice for my wife, my self and fellow travelers. Everyone, all eight of us found the experence very rewarding. Kodos to Rosa and Stavros for all there help and the knowlegde needed for us to complete all we wanted and more. It took a short time for us to learn how to travel to Athens and the driving was not all that bad if you have a GPS with a chip purchased in the USA, it will have no prior details, that will be in Greek if you rent a GPS their. We are from the city so having acommodations that were quiet were a plus. We did see a red fox and coyote, both very harmless. Just have your camera ready. The night air was great, the view terrific. The accommodations very neat, spacious and comfortable. The locals very friendly. Public transportation in Greece, very easy and very clean. We travel to Delphi, Corinth, Sparta and the Islands everyone was nice and me being an African American I found that a double plus. People were engaging to us and wanted to no what part of the U.S. we came from and how was our economy. The resturants and everyone who worked their were very warm and the Greek food very great. I'll miss the Greek food. American Greeks have lost their touch. I should have purchase a Greek recipe book. The owner is very nice and wanted only to satisfy his renters and he is also engaging. If I return to Greece I would definitely pick Villa MoonRay. Just watch the sandy beaches, you will get stuck in the soft sand. Rosa warned us about the sand, my friend just want some adventure against my advice. But no problems, the locals helped us get out. don't forget to bring an American adapter for Europe, Greece.

To Xenophon 16-27 March 2009
Thank you so much for your kindness to me and my family. You went above and beyond our expectations! Thank you also, Rosa and Stavros –two nicer people can not be found anywhere. Roya, our oldest daughter could not come because of her pregnancy. She read your emails to us prior to our trip and couldn’t believe how helpful you were, even then. Thank you, Rosa, for tips on where to eat, how to find the post office, and so many other things! And, Stavros, you are so knowledgeable –you should be a history professor! Thank you for a wonderful trip to Athens! Even though we met you through this trip, we feel as though we have come away as friends! We hope you feel the same way. Please come to Tennessee and let us show you some ‘southern hospitality’.
Thanks again for everything!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! This vacation has exceeded everything we could ever have imagined! Everyone that we have met was so very kind and gracious! Rosa, Stavros and their lovely daughter are a joy! They were always there to help us, no matter how small the request, they made us feel a part of the family!
Stavros –thank you so much for the tour of Athens! You took the time to ensure that our daughters would have a memorable experience and memories that they (and we all) will have for a lifetime!
This vacation was the ‘vacation of a lifetime’ –we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, made new friends and learned so much about Greece. We will cherish this trip and its memories forever!
Thank you!!

Dear Xenophon, dear Rosa
We did follow all the suggestions Rosa gave to us and we had a marvelous time. We saw the Acropolis and Athens fleamarket(on Sunday), Delphi, Epidaurus and Mycenae and it was all so very quiet this time of the year. We went up the spectacular Parnassus mountain to ski. We even took a quick swim in the Aegean ski. It was our first time in Ellada and we loved it. Especially the people
Efcharisto and kind regards

When seeking a Villa in Marathon
One need only to call upon Xenophon
So for a house and a View
And nothing to do
Just pick up and ring the telephone
Martin Basel. SWITZERLAND
There was a young man called Xenophon
Who lived in a town called Marathon
So much does he know
Of places to go
We’ve had a holiday to dwell on
Clair Basel, SWITZERLAND
Thank you ! for our wonderful stay from the 27th September. I personally enjoyed this vacation soo… much!
It was one of the most relaxing restful but also in some ways a very exciting vacation!
Being here with my family has brought so many fond memories together and will make sure that I’ll never forget this one –week Greek experience.
Thank you for your kindness and hospitality, Xenophon , you made us feel welcome and helped us settle down within minutes.
Good luck in the future and perhaps we’ll meet again…?
Lots of love,

Dear Xenophon 9 August 2008
I write this as I sit outside looking at the wonderful view…..it’s so peaceful here really very beautiful. It is a truly unique area, as we sit here in the August hear no noise of tourists and only a few locals on the beach!
We have loved our time here with you and your wonderful family. I am just frustrated I didn’t have the chance to talk with your mother; she is a lovely lady.
Of course a big thank you for your wonderful hospitality-Cole has had a great time with Nikitas- and we do hope we will see you all again in the coming years. Thanks also for throwing two of the boys into the sea!! Hope they haven’t tired you out…
We will keep in touch, and maybe will see you one day also in Ioannina.
Lots of warm wishes!

Dear Xenophon
The two weeks we made your sky suite our home in Greece were wonderful!
The place exceeded our expectations, we settled in and felt at home immediately. The incredible terrace is the absolute highlight, and we tried to spend as much time as possible out there. Your help, care and recommendations were of great assistance from local tavernas to butchers to finding our way through the Peloponnese.
We thank you for your kindness and hospitality.
If you and your family are ever in the Pacific Northwest, U.S.A., don’t hesitate to call.
We look forward to our next visit to Schinias and your Villa!

Un cadre superbe, une résidence agréable et confortable, accueillis par un hôte d’une rare gentillesse et d’une grande disponibilité sont les ingrédients qui nous ont permis de passer un magnifique séjour.
Situé idéalement pour découvrir l’Attique et plus encore nous garderons à jamais souvenirs et images magiques.
En toute simplicité, deux semaines de pur bonheur.
A une prochaine fois, peut être, au pays du soleil ardent comme l’ont surnommé nos enfants.

Dear Xenophon
Thank you for having us at such short notice! Your thoughtful e-mails when we booked and your kindness on our arrival assured us that we would have a lovely holiday.
You villa is great, “very stylish” as Toby put it. We loved the peaceful nights when we heard nothing but the crickets (once the children were asleep!) and we have never seen so much wild life up close-tortoises and foxes in particular!
You have a lovely position here-handy for Athens with some great beaches near by and gorgeous view.

Dear Xenophon and family April 18, 2008
I was very impressed with your generous hospitality and meticulous details to ensure our comfort. You gave sound advice and went that extra mile (like the Marathon Runner), nothing was a bother.
I did not know what to expect of Greece and what it had to offer, but now feel rewarded that I have been and covered areas of Athens, Marathon lake and Schinias. The days have been full and long, and referring to the Villa was like home ( a home away from home). I sincerely hope you and your family can make it to Australia and please keep the correspondence, I would be delighted if you did. Have a wonderful Easter. Take care.
With kind regards
Cheryl ( The Egyptian, Greek from Australia or

We would like to thank you very much for your kind helpfulness and hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay in Greece which was even better staying at your beautiful, comfortable villa and its fantastic views. We hope you can make it to Australia one day.
