Although we arrived very late, we were met in the village square and invited to join everyone for a drink , as we were tired from travelling we decided to go straight to the villa. It was only a short drive from the village square but in a quiet part with plenty of parking. Our hosts could not have been more helpful. The villa was larger than we had expected and the outdoor courtyard was a fantastic space, even the local cats popped by to say hello. The air con was brilliant and most welcome. Although just a few minutes walk through the winding alleyways to the square, the villa was private and secluded.
Lardos itself is a real Greek village with butchers, supermarkets and a fantastic fishmongers. There are a range of bars, cafes and restaurants in the village and the nearby Kiotari, Gennadi, Pefkos, Haraki and Lindos are just a short drive away. It's a fantastic base to explore the Island and return to when the heat or the hustle and bustle gets too much. All in all we had a fantastic time and and would heartily recommend this villa.
