Iliana’s place is a really cool, newly renovated studio apartment within a private holiday housing estate. Iliana and her father Manos are architects, which shows in the room’s decor - they’ve put a lot of thought into the fixtures and fittings, and created a really cool modern vibe. The apartment is literally 50 metres walk from the stunning, sandy Leivadakia beach, as well as a few minutes from the cantina at the nearby camping ground, which offers drinks and light meals. The kitchen in the apartment was well equipped with a mini stove and utensils, which allowed us to cook simple meals. Iliana was away when we visited, but Manos was a warm, welcoming, generous host. He picked us up from the port, stocked the fridge with basic supplies and water, and even loaned us his car on a day he didn’t need it, so we could explore the island a little more. The apartment is an easy walk into Livadi, where there are lots of restaurants, bars, supermarkets and buses to other parts of the island. Manos also gave us some great restaurant recommendations! Thank you Iliana and Manos for your hospitality, we hope to come visit again some day!
