Simple but very nicely put together - elegant design.

The last page - http://www.prespespetrino.com/el/guestbook - generated a few xhtml errors when validated.

cheers,
Gordon

PS Had fun trying to read the greek text - managed to work out what the odd phrase here and there meant but struggling otherwise.

PPS Managed (but only just) not to say, it's all Greek to me.

I guess you mean the English version of the logo.
I had a long discussion about that with the graphic designer. He didn't want to change it to Latin characters. So we made a compromise: guesthouse with Latin and Petrino with Greek characters.
I know, not the best for usability but maybe the title tag and the content compensates for that.

Anyway, thanks a lot Gordon for pointing out the validation error on the Greek guestbook page. Fixed that already.

PS: The equivalent phrase in Greek is "it's all Chinese to me".

Too many sites give sensory overload.
This site I like very much - inviting, easy on the eye, and very suited to the objective of the site.
Well done.

What a nice treat.  Gorgeous photographs, great copy. Makes me want to hop a boat and go right there!!!  Elegant design, love some of the "grungy" elements, like the "download" "tag".  Well done!! 

I am planning a blog post featuring some well design sites using CMS-MS and this one will be at the top of the list!
