Kavos Psarou is nothing short of a paradise. The apartments of Nikos and Kiki are down a dirt track that leads to a secluded place a stone's throw from a private beach. The sound and smell of the sea is ever-present, and the view unfolds endlessly from your window to the horizon. Befriend the local cats, let Nikos make you a cappuccino cremoso in the morning, and wander around the local area, sampling delicious Greek cuisine.
The best thing about Kavos Psarou is the people who run it: It's a family business that above all makes you feel welcome and puts you at ease. Nikos will greet you with a smile on his face, help you with a friendly manner, and happily answer your questions even if you feel you are being incessant and annoying. Kiki, his mother who lives in the family home nearby the guest apartments, will be as a grandmother to your children, and as a mother to you, so that, by the end of your stay, you will no longer be sure whether you are leaving or returning home.
As noted, the location is relatively remote as there is virtually no public transport on the island, so unless you want to stay in the local area for the duration of your stay, or hire a cab every day, you will need to hire a car so that you can drive through the beautiful nature of the island and visit its best beaches. Cabs from the airport are ~£30.
