We had a wonderful, peaceful relaxing stay at Thanos Village in August. We had dreamt about it all through lockdown and it was even better than we'd hoped. Everything from the beautiful sunset views from the huge balcony of our villa to the peaceful swimming pool (which we often had to ourselves) was perfect. We loved sitting in the midst of the olive and lemon groves, having lunch and taking in the unbelievable views. We were pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to walk into Giàlova and you could manage here without a car. There are so many excellent tavernas to choose from in town. We loved exploring the surrounding area, though, and went to Polylimnio waterfalls and Ancient Messini, as well as pootling up the coast to find all the fishing villages and beaches. Maria was so helpful, but also very respectful of social distancing in these bizarre times. The only thing we wished we had was our families to enjoy it with us. What a perfect fortnight of peace. We came home feeling fully restored.
