Langada, the village where Antonis's house is located, has changed refreshingly little since I lived there twenty years ago. Antonis's house is on the village edge, looking out northwestward over the Aigiali valley to the other compact traditional village of Tholaria. The carefully restored small settlement of Stroumbo lies just a short walk away into the valley, watched over by perfectly-tended country chapels. I would encourage all visitors to this rare island to stay at Antonis's house and to walk all the paths in the area - around to Tholaria, up to Theologos and Stavros and beyond, to elemental Halara, and on to the Hozoviotissa Monastery via the extraordinary Asfondalitis. These areas are precious, they reconnect you with life, and they are under immediate threat from the construction of wind turbines that will change forever this area, despite its Natura designation. Antonis has shown the way to a sensitive, modern yet traditional presentation of his island and I highly recommend both his house and its priceless environment.
