Hi @Helen3
Thank you, Helen, for your message and, yes, our island/location is definitely amazing.We believe we provide great value accomodation,lovely photos,great reviews and ratings - we fall short of superhost status only because most of our guests come for 7 days or 2 weeks on summer family vacations so not enough stays.
You're lucky in that you live in a beautiful city which people will travel to all year round. Your listing looks fabulous & so comfortable, we're wish listing you for one of our future UK trips. Love Bristol.
Our problem lies in the fact that people tend to see the Greek Islands as only a beach destination (we're almost full July & August, again with long bookings. Hey, not complaining ! ) when actually the absolute best months can be April, May, June -not too hot,quiet beaches, warm refreshing seas, long hikes in lovely green verdant lushness to tiny white villages, birds passing through from Africa to Europe stop for a rest on exactly the same twig on the same tree every year ( how do I know?.... they've told me! ) In our garden we get Golden Orioles, Hoopoes, Nightingales,Jays,Chiffchaffs, warblers & other passerines -a bird watchers paradise. Sept and Oct offer the same but with balmy days & better prices.
Sorry to sound like a travelogue ( Sunday Times, take note please. ). I suppose it's a kind of mind set that people tend to associate Greece with summer or school holidays.
So I guess you can say that we're desperate to put ourselves out there any way we can as are others like us.
BTW, since our original message of a few hours ago, our wish list has indeed had quite a boost. Surely, no bad thing.
Vassilis & Ann.
