Maria (and of course her mother Eva), the appartment and the location are wonderful. DO NOT think twice just book it. If you are looking for somewhere quiet by the sea away from town then you can't go wrong.
Fabulous appartment (we were upstairs) with a large terrace that has the sun all day and a lovely view of the sea.
The beach is perfect with white sand and calm crystal clear water. Who needs a pool when you can be in the sea in a few minutes?
There are 3 tavernas in Manganari. One was still open when we visited during the first half of October. There are no shops so if you need supplies it requires a visit to town (35/40 minute drive) so a rental car is a good idea and also gives you freedom to see elsewhere.
The locals are very friendly and Manganari has the feeling of a small village.
The goats must get a mention. Every morning they are moved and all wearing bells. A lovely spectacle that becomes part of your day.
Stay there. You will not be disappointed.
