We had a wonderful stay at Ethimia’s Rooms - warmly greeted by Efthimia and Petros, Petros showed us all the nice places to visit and where to eat.
What we most loved was staying in the middle of a Greek village (Plakes) instead of the more tourist like location, down in the main port of Adamantas. But you are also right next to the lovely village Plaka and Trypiti with it’s white buildings, narrow streets, variety of restaurants, wonderful views and the most amazing sunsets over the bay. All within 5 - 10 mins walk in the evening - no need to go down to the port!
Hire a car and you can reach all the beaches easily from your location and take the trouble to go to Emborio across the bay.....
