The situation of Niki's place is quite unique: the building (housing 2 independent appartments and 1 studio + Niki's family appartment; second floor still has to be built) is the only one on a desert pebble beach. It is separated from the beach by just an unpaved road ending at Krios beach ( 5 minutes walk), where you find umbrellas (6€/day), a beach bar with basic food and hardly ever more than 20 pesons at one time... Although without luxury the appartment we had was quite big and comfortable (the bedding too).
The pretty village/town Paleochora with lots of shops and restaurants is 7-10 minutes drive. And the rides in the mountains that you see behind the house are pure magic.
Niki and her family are great warm-hearted people.
So if you are looking for a place on the beach full of authenticity and away from mass tourism you can definitely find there.
