Livadas is an excellent place to stay in the mountains. I stayed for 5 nights and was able to walk from the house every day. For example, to do Agia Irini Gorge, I walked down to Soughia, got the early bus to the top, walked the gorge, and then had a simple 30 minute walk back to the house. The house is modern, very clean, a well fitted out for 1-2 people. There is even a washing machine. The terrace has a good mix of sun and shade. Highly recommended.
