The apartment is very nice and comfortable, and Irini is a great host, she always tries to answer quickly and help with any issue. We have appreciated a lot the two little terraces, one has the view on the Egean see, Telendos and Ghost Kitchen. The kitchen is very well equipped, there is even a mixer, three different types of coffee maschines (greek, italian and american) and a very modern induction cookstove. All windows are provided with mosquite nets and the beds have new, comfortable matresses . The apartment is located in a very small village of few houses. There are really no shops and restaurants in the village, but it takes about 15 minutes by scooter to Masouri or Emporios. We did most of the shopping the first day in a bigger supermarket in Panormos. Otherwise we bought fresh fruits, vegetables and bread on the way back home from the crags: there are several little shops all over the main road which are opened until 11pm. In Skalia there are several goats hanging around all day and cats visiting and looking for some food. Being fully in the countryside, don't be surprise to find some insects around, like some flies, amts, little spiders, but also some cute gekos. They are all harmless and the apartment is totally safe, but if you are scared of insects, consider an hotel for your stay!
