Holiday rentals in Greece don’t always get good press these days. There’s often some story about an unfortunate soul booking his family vacation next door to the 100-strong stag party from Droitwich, or Mr and Mrs Jones’ luxury water-front room actually facing onto the local sewage pipe outlet.
The problem is – you never quite know what you’re going to get in the large holiday rentals resorts. You might have a breathtaking view from your hotel room, but food so bad that you won’t even give it to the bad-breathed stray dog sitting at your feet. More importantly - you’re missing out on one big thing. Greece.
Greece – from its lesser-explored interior to its multitude of islands – is one of the most beautiful places on earth. It didn’t earn its title as ‘the cradle of civilisation’ for nothing... From ancient amphitheatres to hilltop olive farms and whitewashed villages perched precariously on hillsides, Greece has everything to offer those in search of holiday rentals. And that’s just the location. What about the people – some of the friendliest you’re ever likely to meet and a culture that adores children? Or indeed the local food – mouth-watering olives, cheeses, meats, retsina – all home grown and beautifully prepared.
So how do you experience the real thing? If you want a real escape, with no strings attached, then try self catering holiday rentals. There are plenty of tailor-made properties out there to give you what you really want from your holiday rentals. Be it a secluded beach-front villa or a converted stone monastery – there will be something for you. And while you sit on your private patio of your chosen holiday rentals, sipping your local retsina and watching the sun dip behind the horizon, you can reflect on the fact that you don’t always have to believe what you read in the papers…
