Lovely place to stay in an old part of town with small alleys that open to small courtyards, with children playing and cafes filled with locals, it felt a very authentic place to stay. The decor in the apartment is fun, we especially loved the terrace with a view to the sea. The bright orange shutters reassuringly stands out when discovering alternative routes back.! Melanie and Fotini were great hosts making sure our stay was comfortable.
The nearest beach isn't too far to walk and is very quiet.. it's also worth checking out the east end of Karteros beach that's very nice, worth the cab journey to get to.
For shopping, heading south through winding streets, gets to Leof. Kalokerinou street for supermarkets, fish mongers and the excellent Tο Παραδοσιακο bakery on the crossroads.
If like us you use Google and TripAdviser for restaurant reviews, you'll see Peskesi is very popular. It definitely lives up to it's reputation and is a wonderful dining experience but was fully booked when we visited on a Tuesday night, luckily for us they'd just received a cancellation. I'd recommend booking well in advance. Another nearby is Paradosiako, an authentic Greek restaurant with BBQ meats and the best dolmades, in a lovely courtyard setting playing folk music. We were the only table of travellers on a fully booked Saturday night.
