Schöne Villa, in netter Umgebung mit allem was man braucht. Einziges Manko: es befindet sich eine laute Straße vor dem Haus, man gewöhnt sicher aber daran.

Familienurlaub
Wir haben in der Villa einen schönen Familienurlaub gehabt. Die Ausstattung und der Pool waren traumhaft, dieser wurde jeden Tag gereinigt. Zum Strand waren es nur wenige Minuten, so dass wir auch das Mittelmeer genießen konnten. Mit den Mietwagen haben die nähere Umgebung entdecken können. Es war ein schöner Urlaub in der Think Villa Agapi.
