Elinas studios was a great place to stay, with good value for an exceedingly expensive island. The studios have a great view of the sea, and next door is a pool with a fantastic view and a nice breakfast. The studio is newly renovated, very clean and comfortable. One drawback is that there is only one window, so it was difficult to keep the room cool without the air conditioning.(It probably would have benefited from a ceiling fan) Elina was very helpful, as was the managing agent Manos. There is a long flight of stairs down to the beach and bus stop. We stayed local for the first days but then rented a car. We would strongly recommend renting a car because taxis are in VERY short supply. Access to town is very easy with the local bus also.
