We had a great time in Koutalas and loved the location, a bit off the beaten track and with a nice and almost never crowded beach just five minutes by walk though the fields. We felt welcomed by Vaggelis grandparents who provided us with fruits and sweets and would have liked to be able to speak more with them but our knowledge of greek is minimal.

The house is very tiny as it is shown in the picture, but the terrace and the view make up for that. Having a car or quad is recommended if one wants to reach the nice tavernas and explore other beaches; however, we also spent a few days without it and we enjoyed walking to the Ganema taverna and trying hitch-hiking to Livadi for the shopping ;-)

I recommend the place for a couple who like a quiet rural setting and discovering the rhythms of this beautiful tiny village.
