Spent 3 weeks in June 2023 in Georgia‘s place. Perfect host, great location (for those who like it remote), beautiful house.,

My husband and I chose Ikaria to celebrate our 70 and 80th birthdays. We wanted a lovely, remote, calm setting and this Akamatra farmhouse couldn't have been more perfect for the celebration. In our rental car, it took us approximately 2 hours to arrive at the Akamatra square. Be prepared to drive 20 km/hr on narrow roads with occasional goats crossing the roads! On the night of our arrival, Georgia, our hostess met us in the Akamatra village square on her motorcycle, guided us to our lodging and helped us up the rugged drive with our bags (our car could not make the climb, so we left it at the base of the hill). Throughout our stay, Georgia was patient with our endless questions, generous with her time and treated us to some of the fruits/vegetables/herbs from her garden. We loved her companionship and conversation! The property itself is located on a rugged, mountainous hillside, with a breathtaking view of the Agean Sea and is nestled among many plants/trees cultivated by Georgia. I cooked most of our meals, found all the needed cookware in the kitchen. I purchased delicious bread and meal ingredients from the Akamatra and Evdilos bakeries, minimart and grocery stores. Pharmacies and gas is available 7 km away in Evdilos. For our 2-week stay, we brought a minimum of clothing, as we'd known a washing machine was available on site. With the humidity, the clothing took 2 days to dry. Many a day we set out in the morning to explore the port of Evdilos and other island towns. Akamatra is centrally located on the island and an ideal base camp. The only downfall for the entire time was our age. Had we been younger and more fit, we would have been able to hike the many island paths, surf, swim in the thermal waters, and enjoy Ikaria to its fullest. Renting motor cycles would also have enabled us to get to even the remotest locations on the island. Regardless, we were enchanted by our stay at the Akamatra farmhouse and recommend it to those wanting a remote island getaway. This fits the bill!

The house is in a beautiful position just 1 km far away from the village in a very calm area; it is a country house, but has every think you need. Georgia is a very kind host, gives us many tips about the island.

It’s was a very wonderful place and Georgia is such a angel ! We had a great time there And we will come back next year

we've stayed at Georgia's farmhouse for almost 2 weeks and fell in love with it. The place is situated in a most beautiful scenery not far above the little town of Akamatra and can be reached from there by foot. If you plan to see more from the island, the rental of a motor-driven vehicle is recommeded. Georgia lives close by and provided us with vegetables and herbs from her garden and shared her extensive knowledge about Ikaria and nature with us. The house itself is an old farmhouse that was renovated with lots of skills and should be seen as a good example as it should be. We are impressed how lovely someone can live.

Wir waren bereits zum zweiten Mal in dem schönen rustikalen Haus. Wir sind sehr zufrieden. Alles nötige ist vorhanden. Die Waschmaschine ist bei einem längeren Aufenthalt ein großer Zugewinn - es spart Gepäck. Unseres Erachtens waren die Betten ein wenig hart. Es gibt zusätzliche Decken bei Bedarf. Im Bad hatten wir stets warmes Wasser. Die Küche ist mit dem nötigsten ausgestattet. Den Kaffee kann man mit einem Teekessel erwärmen. Es gibt einen Backofen in dem man Speisen zubereiten kann. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und er teilt gerne Auskünfte über die Insel. Die Umgebung ist traumhaft. Allerdings sollte man gut zu Fuß sein und auch ein wenig belastbar. Der Zugang zum Hof ist schon ein wenig steil und es braucht ein wenig Geschick mit dem Auto. Die Unterkunft liegt in einem Dorf in dass ich eher seltener ein Tourist verirrt. Dennoch gibt es ein kleines Geschäft ähnlich eines Tante-Emma-Ladens in dem Grundnahrungsmittel aber auch leckere Desserts zu erwerben sind. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und möchten gern wieder auf diese schöne Insel.

Een uitstekend verblijf midden in de natuur in een traditionele woning. Woning ligt net buiten het dorp tegen de heuvel met een prachtig uitzicht op de zee. Heerlijk wandelen in de omgeving. Georgia is een hartelijke gastvrouw die je attendeert op de mooiste plekjes.

The stonehouse is very nice with 2 bedrooms at the first floor an a very well equiped kitchen. The terrace is big and calm and offer a fantastic sea view. Georgia, the owner, is really nice. She gave us tomatoes from her garden, jam that she made and was always asking if we needed something else. We spent time with her speaking of Ikaria and she gave us lots of great advices.
