We went to see the second week of April primarily to see the wildflowers and we were not disappointed. We saw more wildflowers in abundance around the hamlet of Prodromi, on the tracks and olive terraces around Archon Villa than anywhere else we visited. You are free to walk wherever you want and you can easily walk to the well known E34 walking track along the coast. The villa is well equipped and very comfortable with very pleasant outdoor eating areas. Manya our host was very friendly and hospitable, she could not have been more helpful. It takes around 20 minutes to drive very slowly down the twisting mountain road to Paleochora, enjoying the views and plants that spill over the sides of the roads along the way. It was so quiet in April, we hardly ever passed another car going to and from the hamlet into town. In Paleochora you'll find a whole range of tavernas and cafes. Though the two vegetarian cafes were not open when we visited, there was plenty of vegetarian dishes on the menus of other places. Two well stocked supermarkets can also be found here.
