Villa Cassandra is a wonderful place to stay. The photos do not do it justice - it’s beautiful, 3 terraces, amazing bedrooms, great kitchen and one of the bathrooms must have one of the best views of any bathroom anywhere.
Practically it has everything you need, Anna and her husband were fantastic hosts - quick to respond, left the essentials in the fridge for us and let us get on with it safe on the knowledge they were at hand if we needed it.
In terms of location the house I think is ideal. Steep walk down into the harbour area - then get the bus back up. Nice walk down to Pedi (15 mins) and St Nicholas (25 mins) beaches and then the bus back up.
The village area is great - there’s a excellent shop, bakery, couple of restaurants (Georgis & Maria’s is good but chaotic) and there’s a couple of bars, the slightly higher one serves beer, tapas, snacks and wonderful Mojitos.
The harbour area is lovely and the water taxis are excellent value and work brilliantly, give Nos beach a miss though and if you’ve got kids go to Agia (?) Marina - I think the sand is brought in but it’s the best for kids.
In short Villa Cassandra is exactly what AirBNB is all about.
