We spent a warm and pleasant week at Anna's Stone House, enjoying the garden and visiting the local village and surrounding island. The nearby remains at Aptera are interesting (though there is very little shelter from the sun, take a hat!) and there are three nice taverns within walking distance from the house where we enjoyed sitting out watching the world go by. The road up to the house is pretty steep! The main road is easily accessible but can't be heard from the house... especially over the sound of the cicadas! Anna was very helpful in responding quickly to our various requests, and also offered us lots of advice on local places to visit and practicalities, as well as leaving a lovely selection of welcome gifts. The house is old, simple and nicely presented. It is just one big room with curtained areas for beds, with a small but functional bathroom. The aircon was effective, and there are welcome areas of shade to sit in outside the front for breakfast and the back in the evening, even though the sun was very hot during our stay! Anna came to clean the house for us part way through the week. It is an interesting, small and basic cottage convenient for Hania, small local beaches, and going into the mountains. There are local buses fifteen minutes away at the main road, but you will really need a car!
