This is a fabulous, well equipped first floor apartment with private exterior staircase and entrance.
Takis lives below and has great knowledge of the village’s history as his family have lived there for more than 100 years- his grandfather ran the, now closed, Kafenion next door.
The apartment is in the heart of the village but 300m away from the main strip of tourist sunset tavernas. There are two or three cafes and tavernas closer. There is very little traffic or human noise in the vicinity. However, light sleepers should be aware that, as in any village, there is nighttime dog/cat/cockerel noise! The beds and sofa are extremely comfortable.
Takis kindly picked us up from the airport for a pre-agreed fair price and was happy to stop at a supermarket to let us pick up a few things. Takis brought us fresh plums & eggs.
We recommend walking to Palio Pili (hilltop castle) and the nearby Taverna Oria for amazing food and sunsets views. The walk takes about 1hr 15mins (allow 2hrs if visiting the castle before taverna). This taverna is 10 mins walk from the car park for the Paleo. You cannot drive to the Taverna. We walked the mainly road route with sea views until the old stone steps began the ascent to the castle/taverna. However, you can also walk via the mountains.
Overall if you’re looking to stay in a mountain village with a helpful host, look no further!
Thank-you Takis
