Comments on Velanos Cottage 4**

Michael Hughes - Sep 2009

"Beautiful setting - would recommend Velanos to anyone."

Kyla - Sep 2009

"The owners of the villas were lovely, very kind & nothing too much trouble. There were some lovely touches such as beautiful crocheted lace curtains and hand embroidered pictures. There is a good bakery in Elos about 5 mins drive away and a slightly bigger mini-market than in Kefali. We had a lovely time & will definitely go back again & will happily recommend Velanos to others!"

Justine Bold - Aug 2009

"We had a fantastic holiday - and Jenny and Georgos were lovely. "
