We arrived very late - 2am - at Andrea's house because our ferry was very delayed but there was no problem finding the house and the path down to it was well lit. A charming, authentic home greeted us and after a good night's sleep we opened the door to discover a truly magical location. The outside space is wonderful. So many different spots to sit in - you can find sun or shade at all times of day with many different seats and two big tables. The views of the blue sea and other Greek islands surround the house and the deep blue colour is glimpsed from the inside of the house through a number of little windows that let light in through thick stone walls.
The breeze keeps the house cool and if it drops there is a fan.
A visit to the Folk Museum in Ano Meria is worth making. The old, preserved farmstead there is very similar to Andrea's house in many ways.
The main town Chora is delightful with plenty of good places to eat although we very much enjoyed the meals we cooked and ate outside at the house.
This holiday house is our kind of place - simple and not showy with a real character that has developed over time and not been manufactured specifically for tourists. You can truly relax here. Perfect! We would love to stay here again. Thank you Andrea.
