If you are looking for peace and quiet with amazing views off the beaten track this is the place for you. The location of the cottage is excellent for exploring the island, especially the southern part and the beautiful beaches near the airport - just make sure you have your own transportation as this is a big island and the cottage a 5 minute car ride from the nearest village. The cottage is a traditional 'stavlos' that has been faithfully renovated to preserve its original features (a photographer came to take pictures of it on our last day). The bed is comfortable and because of the location the evenings are breezy, giving you a break from the summer heat. There is a lovely covered area outside with views of the mountains and the sea for chilling out. Our hosts were outstanding: they responded immediately to all our requests and gave us faultless tips about where to eat and swim, making us feel like locals immediately. Thank you Marianna and Popi for making us so comfortable - we fell in love with Karpathos!
