Okay, this is not the place for you if you are a party person and enjoy noise and music and being around lots of nightclubs and young people. But this IS the place for you if want to watch the evening sunsets, have a quiet time on the back deck, hear no traffic and parties, live among locals, and be close to everything you want. Stefanos's parents, who live very close by will greet you and will even pick you up if needed. They will welcome you with Greek island philoxenia (kindness to strangers) and help you in any way. I took advantage of the location to do things other than my work at the folklore museum and the church of Panagia Tourliani to do some great things like the archaeological excursion to Delos, a Mykonos cooking class, the secluded and very deserted (and wonderful!) Fokos Beach (with a fantastic taverna 100 meters away), and an easy overnight trip to Santorini to see the museums and the archaeological ruins. Stefanos's apartment is a nice walk to the old town or a nice walk to the old harbor. (From the old harbor, you can take the sea bus to the new harbor or the bus to very places around the island. The washing machine, by the ay, worked beautifully and everything was sun dried in hours. The apartment is up a fairly steep hill, but even with my bum knee (requiring surgery soon) it took me only 13 minutes from the old harbor to the apartment door, or 11 minutes to the harbor area. Tip: if you rent a car, the street to take from the airport is the first right (20-30 meters) after a dirt parking lot on your right; it will have a sign for La Veranda on the right side. Overall, a wonderful place, and I will be back.
