Paola’s place in Ano Meria is extremely cozy and has breathtaking views. It is a traditional stone house with a private entrance, though it is connected to other houses. The house was perfect for us- a very comfortable bed, great bathroom, nice patio with furniture perfect for enjoying the view. Paola leaves kind touches of hospitality- breakfast, teas, bottle water, etc.
Although Ano Meria is a bit remote, you can walk up the hill from the house to a mini market and several restaurants. If you don’t have an international drivers license, plan to use the taxi to go to beaches and chora. We weren’t able to rent a car, scooter or ATV due to having no international license. I would recommend to arrange to get one before you go to Greece so that you can see more of the island at your own convenience.
We were unfortunately unable to meet Paola, as she was in Italy at the time. However she arranged for her dear friend Kula to pick us up from the port upon our arrival by ferry. Kula kindly drove us to the house and even drove us back to the port when we departed.
