I thought I would walk out of this place saying it was the best stay I ever had, but the truth is I have ten messages while I was in the Vatican about arranging transport with their business friends and donkeys to walk 100 meters with your luggage, which is not my thing. Give the donkey a vacation. The driver was cool and for $25 in any direction took me from the airport to Purgos to the beach and back to Purgos to wait for check in at 3 ($75 in one day). Regardless, the dude was pretty chill bad ass.
I thought it was cool Ilias still took my luggage, while I went to the beach to wait for check in. You should know that there is a restaurant directly about your front door, and their front door is in front of your front door. People eating all day can see you do anything all day, can hear anything you do, and you can hear them. When you leave, a tour of 30 people are walking past you through the corridor. Did I mention that for over an hour this morning, there was no electricity and approximately 17 minutes after check in, I was promptly asked to leave, after I was assured I would have time to charge everything. I was within five mins anyway, but it was completely rude.
The breakfast basket is the best part, though you might want to ask the guy in charge of electricity how many cups you should have. I’m glad I at least had some, because the one was broken and lord knows what somebody did cause they heard I was traveling where they weren’t. No one’s fault. It’s part of the travel.
Altogether, I enjoyed my stay a great deal without all the drama. I got amazing pictures of the sunset and night skyline. I just don’t like that I was pestered for details in the beginning and what was that in the end? Why would you recommend it?!
The room is beautiful. Ilias mentioned no one likes the sound of the dehumidifier, and he didn’t my know why. After it’s off…you can hear everything…everything!
The actual Greek people, the village, and the island are totally worth it. Try Johnnie’s and the black sand Long Beach. People actually wish you blessings they mean. It was cool. Great music in the town at night that promptly ends at midnight. You can even see the local priest and his family enjoying the little town square. You should know they also have places not directly in front of a restaurant.
