We had a lovely stay at the Philippos. The accommodation was simple and traditional but had everything we needed. The kitchen had the basics and we prepared lunch and breakfast there every day, eating out for dinner. We had a nice balcony overlooking the gardens which were well maintained. George and his team were really friendly and I have never stayed in a self catering place with such good housekeeping. Christina, you are a marvel! We didn't have any problems but I felt confident that George would have been more than happy to help if we had. I really appreciated that everything was in the price so there were no hidden extras. We had aircon and a fan as well as a safety deposit box and, unlike some places, we didn't have to pay extra. George also built the tourist tax into the price so we didn't have to mess around with cash on the last day, as we have in previous places. The beach was only a few minutes walk away. It was busy and you do need to factor in renting sun loungers because it was large pebbles but the water was clean and lovely to get into. The village of Nikiana was an attractive harbour and we enjoyed sitting with a cocktail just enjoying the views. There was a good selection of restaurant and tavernas, some better than others. They also had excellent 'supermarkets' in Nikiana and we ate really well from those. I have never had peaches like it!! We were only there for a week and didn't hire a car but we did use the local buses and they were cheap, cool and reliable. We also took the car ferry over to Meganissi which was well worth a visit. The views from Sprirachori were spectacular and well worth the climb but don't expect lunch there. We had a lovely meal back down in the beach tavernas. Nidri is much bigger and has more in the way of shops and restaurants. And the walk up to the waterfall was well worth it. I didn't understand why George featured so heavily in previous reviews. Having met him and his mum, I now do. They were lovely people!
