Excellent location with great sea views, about 10 mins walk to the beach. Very secluded-you will need a car. Matthios is very helpful for local tips on sightseeing and extremely friendly-a fantastic host-he gave us fresh fruits from his garden every day, the best and sweetest figs we have ever had!
There are local supermarkets in Agia Gilani-we only realised this later as Google only shows local supermarket about 30 minutes away in a different town.
Two beaches closest to Matthio's place-Agia Pavlos specially, are great for snorkelling- as more or less land locked-calmer sea-crystal clear waters. We had a great time!
Also- Preveli beach-highly recommended-beautiful river meeting the sea-a must for a swim in the fresh waters for a change!
