Kostas and Sandy have created a magical haven, both inside and out. It is the perfect place to relax and tune into the rhythm of Lefkogia and the surrounding area.
The interior is calm and spacious, and the courtyard is a haven - Alfresco eating under the dappled shade of the ancient bougainvillaea is hard to beat.
Lefkogia itself is a great little village, the real Mccoy, and a perfect jumping-off point for the local bays, churches, gorge and cliff walks, and some longer road trips.
Lovely coffees, snacks, and meals at Amoudaki and Amoudi beaches - the latter a bit of a 60's throwback - chilled vibes, tunes and company.
All the local beaches are worth a visit - And if skinny dipping is your thing then Amoudaki is just a couple of minutes away by car. Further affield Sweet Water Bay to the West and Red Beach to the East (1hr 20) are wonderful. And if you really want to escape then a trip to Sougia and the Island of Gavdos is a must.
Closer to home, Preveli Monastery and museum should not be missed; the artwork and artefacts offer great insight into the history of the area and the Monastery. But rather than taking the main road loop through the neighbouring village of Gianniou, stop, then take a walk to the churches that nestle beside the road and down the tracks and marvel at the mountains that rise before you.
Thanks for a wonderful two weeks, it was very hard to leave.
