A TRUE Mountain Paradise. Yes, the term is too often loosely bandied about, but in over 45 years of traveling this beautiful world, I've seen a few that clearly stand above and sadly, some that have lost that lofty status over time due to the incursions of modern tourism. But Papingo Village, the Papaevangelou Hotel and its kindhearted, ebullient owner George have captured our hearts and joined our personal pantheon of the best places on earth. Wow! The views, the setting, the colorful, dramatic, historical ambience, the natural sights and sounds, well, it's all pretty unforgettable. George's careful, caring attention to detail completely harmonizes his wonderful place with the stunning beauty all around, And the bountiful, delicious breakfasts on the terrace are simply amazing. We're still trying to recreate parts of them on our return home. A George is such a gracious, fun-loving guy, after a full day of hiking it feels like a return to a real home. Well, our cup of praise here is clearly running over, but we're just overflowing with warm memories of our four day stay in early May. It still brings a smile even back here, just thinking about all the smiles George & co. keep creating every day over there.Thanks!! Steve & Tiya
