Great location and a short walk from the beach for chilling after work.
Thank you Panteli for choosing me.
I've learnt a lot, a few firsts for me too.
A great experience.
Smiling, conscientious, reliable and hardworking, she was always punctual to the minute.
She can be trusted to do her tasks without being reminded, a rare finding these days.
Heartily recommended.!
During this time Richard proved to be a master builder, and Iwona a great gardener.
They never shied away from work, and they always volunteered more than agreed. They work as a team, helping each other as needed.
They are quiet, good natured and polite.
Heartfully recommended, I hope… read more

Pantelis took us twice with his boat and we felt so lucky to meet some special spots of the island.
The house is in a natural area, very quiet and with beutifull views.
The working was ok.
So we can say we really enjoyed the expirience and the island of Milos.

She has a great work ethic, and helped much longer hours than was required of her.
She is very fit and sport oriented, and… read more
