I wanted to see what's life outside the tourist area and I get to see it. At first I thought there's really nothing in Emporio, but a nice walk around the area will allow you to experience local life and meet the locals. They were all nice and warm. The place is also not too far from the village center or bus stop, took me almost 10 minutes (chill walk) to reach to the village center from the house.

I didn't get to meet the host but I met her father and he made sure that everything is set for me. Even though the father speaks little English, you'll understand the context of what he's saying in general and I'm okay with it. :) They also picked me up at the bus stop (near Cafe Zygos) and dropped me off too.
