Spiros' studio is the perfect antidote to bland and uniform hotels. It is a unique place to stay that encourages one to change channels entirely, switch priorities and focus on new things. It is also comfortable and well-appointed without being flash or prissy. The studio is in a marvellous location, in an old Venetian stone building with an Ottoman-era former mosque across the street. Both Spiros and Anthipi were extraordinarily helpful. I broke a bottle whilst there but Spiros said don't worry - so on a whim, inspired by my surroundings, I rubbed down the glass and made it into a rather unconventional vase. I certainly would not have done that anywhere else.
