We embarked on our mini-adventure to Anafi with one promise from Margarita: the ultimate blue that would ease our minds, relax our pace and stimulate our eyes. We were soon to discover that 5 days of Cycladic sea & sun together with a genuine hospitality and the kind smile of all the people we met and spend time with would be the Aegean balm we much needed!
Margarita’s accommodation is a well-maintained, typical Cycladic house that could accommodate 4 (and in consultation with the hosts: even a 5th person for a few nights and a small fee). We found our linen nicely packed in personal bags, while the kitchen was equipped with disinfectant (a well-though small provision on these times). Parking is just behind the small square and the place had the characteristic peace and tranquility of a small island during off-season. Everything you might need in Chora is in walking distance (5-10 min).
Some things you can’t quantify or describe to their full extent. The view from the house’s terrace is something that left us speechless every single day. On our afternoons we would eagerly run against the sun to be at home before sunset so we could fill our eyes with color. Every night we welcomed the bright moon that came to playfully illuminate the white surfaces of Chora’s houses. In terms of hospitality -or better set: philoxenia- Margarita and the house’s manager Maria went the extra mile for us: We felt genuinely welcome, and we even sat down altogether for a goodbye dinner, sharing experiences, moments and gratefully living a moment as locals amongst them. Wish we could return one day!
