Every now and then you take a 'risk' and book a new airbnb with no reviews. Boy did this one pay off! Caroline's property was exactly what we hoped to find. Cute and quirky in a traditional Cycladic style. Think peaceful hillside location with spectacular views. All of your needs anticipated - from a well equipped kitchenette to goggles and snorkles! And a host who is totally committed to ensuring you enjoy your stay,
We managed well without a car using a combination of busses and taxi's and walking of course. The local beach is lovely and about a 15-20 minute walk. We learned to time the return journey out of the midday heat and enjoyed the stroll. There is a steep driveway up to the property so keep that in mind if you have mobility issues.
Caroline and Mick are a wealth of local knowledge from the best sheltered coves, restaurants, shops and even an English speaking doctor.
We didn't have a single bad meal but our particular favourites were Methrya, Drakos and Salt. On windy days where the beach isn't pleasant Free Bar has a nice pool and loungers - if you're not adverse to loud music.
Our stay really did exceed all our expectations and we are hoping to return again soon!
