Our stay in Katalagari was wonderful, mostly due to the apartment we rented.
We were met by Giorgos, Montserrat's assistance at the airport and this was particularly helpful. Giorgos helped us with our car rental process and then was our guide to the apartment, and this was particularly helpful since it was night. He showed us the apartment and left us a bunch of home grown grapes.
The apartment is very large and comfortable. The community is quiet, but has a wonderful tavern (located next door to the apartment), a mini market and a gas station within a couple of kilometers.
We were able to easily drive to all areas of the island from this site and appreciated being away from the big city.
If being in a quiet area with nice valley views (from the back terrace) appeals then this is your vacation spot.
