    Top-Lage mit Aussicht auf Matala, den Strand und die Hippie-Höhlen, nur ein paar Schritte zum Wanderweg Richtung "Red Beach". Der Vermieter war sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen, hat uns Empfehlungen gegeben (z. B. für Restaurant und Einkaufen)....

    Castri House to mały, przestronny domek z pięknym tarasem, w stylu typowo greckim. Widok zniewalający. Ze względu na swoje położenie, na stromej skale nie nadaje się dla osób niepełnosprawnych lub dla gości z dziećmi w wózeczkach. Trzeba mieć na...
