Together with my wife and two daughters of 2 and 6 years old we are always on a quest to find a special place for our holiday. We want to avoid the mass tourism, and are looking for a place that is a part of the environment we go to. As we have two young children we also have high demand towards to accommodation as we want a decent, safe and clean place with all the facilities we have at home.
When we booked our stay at the Lefkogia farm we e-mailed the owner that we were looking forward to our stay. We directly received a very friendly e-mail and were looking forward in meeting these wonderful people. Before I go into more detail with regards to the accommodation I fist want to thank the owners ( Betty and Elias ). They are wonderful and friendly people who welcomed us with open arms, are caring and helpful. We even had a BBQ together and enjoyed some raki's during some very nice conversations!
Arriving at the location the accommodation exceeded our expectations. The house feels like it is just build a month ago, and everything is really spacious and clean. It has everything you would want, from Airconditioning, comfortable beds, an oven, microwave, a comfortable shower and a porch(terras) which overlooks the farm. This outside terras is very nice and gives you the possibility to lounge in the shade under the partial roof, or grab a sunbed and enjoy the sun.
Then you have the large garden which is beautiful, and has a lot of nice features. There are hundreds olive trees some of over 250 years old which give it a lot of character. The owners have placed some hammocks between some of them, in which you can retreat and enjoy the magical environments in the shade under the olive trees. There is a small playground for children including a trampoline, swings and a wooden playhouse with a slide. In a lot of places there are wooden benches & tables to sit at, have a picnic, or just enjoy the environment at sunset.
Last but not least it is an active farm with animals such as horses, goats, pigs, chicken, goose and a turkey which behaves more like a dog, following those around which give him food. Our children loved this farm and loved feeding and playing with the animals. They enjoyed an occasional horseride together with Elias and Betty at the farm, and even I got on the friendly horse named Whiskey, for the first time in my life :).
With 3 very nice beaches just 2 min away i would recommend this place to everyone looking for something special!
