My two week stay at The Old Bus had me completely fall in love with the bus, the place and most of all the outstanding hosts. Dora and Giorgos felt like family; they went above and beyond in their hospitality and making me feel at home (with adventures too). The land and wild nature surrounds you and lets you disconnect very quickly from the rest of the daily routine. The sea is swimmable on most days (in August); the walking/running/hiking dirt roads are endless; and you are surrounded by the horizon. There is a beautiful little bay just below the Old Bus that was my access point to the sea. The bus is very comfortable and had all I needed to feel safe - at good temperature when it’s hot out and warm enough when it was breezy at night. There is enough light for the night; inside and outside. The bathroom is clean and practical. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking. There were no mosquitoes in my time here. Because you are in wild nature, there are insects, but none that are harmful or that made me uncomfortable. Think of this as a superior glamping (glamorous camping) experience. The internet is spotty- but you really don’t need it here- it’s better to disconnect. Dora’s artwork is magical and I enjoyed spending time in the workshop. I took an art-making workshop with Dora showing me her technique that I absolutely loved. Highly recommend this! She loves sharing her love of art and it shows.
We went crab hunting once with Giorgos. We shared meals together on several days. I loved my stay and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to “escape” and reconnect. You are in safe and very good hands at the Old Bus. Dora and Giorgos are the fairy guardians here!
