Mari and Manos are most caring hosts and they gave me many useful recommendations. This helped me plan my days a lot. Everything worked very well.
I spent the first three days using buses. This was ok for me, but it’s good to bear in mind that you may end up waiting for the bus a long time (an hour, for example). If you don't mind walking, you may want to consider walking to the center, which is just going downhill and therefore pretty easy (minding the trafffic, of course). Luckily, thanks to the warm climate and new surroundings, I didn’t mind the waiting too much.
It is easiest, though, to have a car. I rented one for the last three days and this gave me more freedom to go to places.
The kitchen has utilities to perform basic cooking, which was good. I enjoyed my stay in this place a lot.
