Nektaria is a wonderful host. She's very easy to communicate with, has a lovely clean well stocked apartment in a little village. Nektaria kept bringing us little gifts (raki, homecooked dolmade) and making sure everything was ok. The village is well placed for Kissamos, Balos and Falasarna but a car is definitely needed as its too far (and too hot when we were there) to walk. You could easily cycle. The mountain drive to Elafonisi and Milia is beautiful and well worth it. The local taverns are great and everyone is friendly.
