I did not meet Sophia in person but she did correspond on how to retrieve the keys etc. I met her daughter, and lovely colleagues at her rental/travel agency storefront in Adamas port.
The home is truly wonderful. It is quaint. It is remote. It is remote. And that’s why you go. In actuality, it’s not far from Adamas Port. It’s quite close BUT, only car accessible. And yes, the road is dodgy, but really what it is, is that it can only be car accessible. No walking. Shame too because Schinopi Bay is quite wonderful ... and staying here is quite wonderful.

I got help from her colleagues. So accommodating. They brought be too and from when I needed. Brought me to the supermarket to get all that I needed since I decided to just stay on the bay for the two nights I was there.
Breathtaking scenery. Even talking to locals they all say, “You made a good choice.”
But... no WiFi... which is totally cool.. except when you have no local network and need to make future reservations... luckily I found a work around... since everyone in the bay is so accommodating and gracious (that is Greek for you... :) )
The accommodation was just fine... mosquitos were actually not bad... but the water is not treated so washing personal water bottles I would advise not to. But stove top works great! Basic small Fridge just OK and works a little better than expected!
Stock up before you go. As anywhere on the islands but especially here, do not drink the water, as they advise too.... again just stock up, all good.
So. If you’re cool with being remote and having a car (or not having a car and staying put as I did) definitely go.
It’s remote. Not as remote as I have lived before, but not a holiday kind of remote either... so just be prepared for a few nights with yourself... which is cool too... and what I did...
