It was a great pleasure to stay at Josephs place with so many sweet personal touches which helped us to feel immediately at home! Joseph was not there sadly but his Mum and Grandma were and their reception was exceptionally warm and kind, we were immediately enchanted! They remained available throughout our stay.. nothing was too much trouble. It was a delight to have passed time with them during our stay... Josephs sister was in town and took time to give us lots of great tips for our stay too. The room is very cute, beautifully clean, well equipped with coffee, water and toilet paper, soap for the lovely bathroom. The 2 beds are very comfortable too. The terrace is wonderful, with its sunrise view over the rooftops, a great spot to indeed watch the sun rise if you are an early riser, sit with your morning coffee and plan your day while already soaking up the rays. Emporio is a delightfully charming village (on a hill;) and the house is in the most charming part.. with its beautifully blue trimmed, white washed architecture, the tiny winding streets with the friendly dwellers, its church, hidden shop selling traditional homemade products, wonderfully inviting cafe serving simple but amazing greek yogurt with sour cherry or honey, homemade ice-cream and iced coffees as well as Baklava. The Barber Shop Taverna is also a nice spot serving simple traditional homemade food. Emporio is well connected by buses to Fira, Pyrgos, Vyhada, Perissa from the main square which is a 10-15 minute walk away from the house. A shop selling fresh vegetables, fruit and cheeses, another selling postcards and a post office for your stamps..there is a supermarket a pharmacy and a few other places to eat and drink that we did not ourselves try. The beaches in this part of the island are clean and organised too..Vyhada is particularly beautiful..so much to see and do on this beautiful island. Thank you all for making us feel so welcome.. we would love to come back to discover more and hopefully stay with Joseph again...
