As independent travelers, my wife and I are all too familiar with getting lost - so when we called ELINA we were pleased she sent her husband to come find us on the road and take us to their lovely apartment house. The apartment was roomy - we had the one with the private garden, all the amenities were there as was a fresh bottle of olive oil as a welcome gift. When we wanted to take the boat trip to Granvousa and Balos Beach she got us tickets at a discount. George was quick to point out both great restaurants close by in Kissamos and great beaches a few kilometers away. And, we did have one of Elina's great breakfasts - lots of food and all delicious. Out fellow lodgers were very friendly - it was like one big happy family - and although the road noise (the apartment house is on the main highway near the western edge of town) was a little troublesome during the day, it died out at night. The local beach is indeed just a minute or two away, and Kissimos is delightful, especially in the waning days of the fall tourist season when it is nearly deserted. Thanks to our warm hosts.
