We use cookies to ensure our website functions correctly and to understand how visitors interact with it. Consent for non-essential cookies is managed through CookieScript. You may update your preferences at any time via the cookie banner.

We use the following categories of cookies:
  • Necessary cookies - required for the website to function. These include CookieScript cookies that store your consent preferences. They cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies - provided by Google Analytics (GA4). They help us understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, session duration, returning users). Activated only with your consent.
  • Google Maps cookies - set when embedded maps are loaded on our website. Google may collect your IP address and location data to render the map. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy). Activated only with your consent.
  • Elfsight cookies - set by the Elfsight reviews widget, which aggregates guest reviews from Booking.com, Airbnb, and Google. When the widget loads, Elfsight may collect your IP address and browser data. Governed by Elfsight's Privacy Policy (elfsight.com/privacy-policy). Activated only with your consent.
  • Cloudflare cookies - set by Cloudflare's infrastructure used by Elfsight. The _cfuvid cookie is a session cookie that tracks sessions to optimise user experience. It is activated when the Elfsight widget loads and is deleted when the browser is closed.
  • Marketing cookies - used for remarketing (e.g. Google Ads). Activated only if you explicitly opt in via the cookie banner.

8. Sharing with Third Parties
We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with:
  • Payment processors - PCI-DSS certified providers for secure transactions.
  • Booking platforms - Airbnb, Booking.com, or similar OTAs through which you may have booked.
  • Google LLC (USA) - via Google Analytics (usage data) and Google Maps (IP address and location data). Google operates under Standard Contractual Clauses for EEA data transfers. See Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
  • Elfsight LLC (Armenia) - a third-party widget provider that displays aggregated reviews from Booking.com, Airbnb, and Google on our website. When the widget loads, Elfsight may receive your IP address and browser data. See Elfsight's Privacy Policy at elfsight.com/privacy-policy.
  • Objectis, UAB / CookieScript (Lithuania, EU) - our consent management platform. CookieScript stores records of visitor cookie consents (IP address, consent timestamp, preferences) to demonstrate GDPR compliance. As a Lithuanian company, all data remains within the EEA. See CookieScript's Privacy Policy at cookie-script.com/legal/privacy-policy.
  • IT & hosting providers - under Data Processing Agreements (DPAs).
  • Legal authorities - when required by Greek or EU law.
All third-party processors are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions and in compliance with GDPR.

9. International Data Transfers
Some of our third-party service providers are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for all such transfers:
  • Google LLC (USA) - Google Analytics and Google Maps transfer data to the United States. These transfers are protected by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, ensuring an equivalent level of data protection.
  • Elfsight LLC (Armenia) - Elfsight is located in Armenia, a country without an EU adequacy decision and without Standard Contractual Clauses in place. Data transfer to Elfsight (IP address, browser data) therefore takes place solely on the basis of your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. The Elfsight widget is only activated after you accept cookies via our consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time by updating your cookie preferences.
