Renata is a very generous & well travelled host, some might call her a saint. The location is fabulous, just far enough for a quieter stay but an easy stroll into town. Many great restaurants in both Mandraki & Pali. Also there are some interesting walks both challenging & fairly easy. I’d recommend Nikis to Emborio via the crater, Evangelistra to Emborio, and Evangelistra to Profitis Ilias (challenging). I stayed 5 weeks & loved every second of it.
