Staying at Spitakia with Katerina and Anna was a complete joy. Where to start? Location is great - directly across the road from Velerio beach bar - you just walk down 1 minute and you are on the beach. You are bang in the middle of Misouri with each end of the town not more than 5 mins walk away. A great location to base myself for climbing.
I wasn't sure which room I would get, but I need not have worried as the rooms are all fantastic. Very spacious - comfy bed, all you need to cook (I cooked most meals as was here for 5 weeks) though you'll need to grab salt, oil and other essentials from the very friendly local shop. Shower was great - plenty of hot water. The rooms are cleaned every few days and Rosa does a great job.
The windows are new and close securely blocking out the outside world, plus they have very good mosquito nets built in.
I worked for the first few weeks here - the wifi is fast but you need to be aware that it uses a captive portal so you usually need to re-enter the password each time. My work laptop would not allow me to connect to this, so I had to use a work around which was to connect my phone to the wifi and then share the wifi as a hotspot and connect my laptop to that.
Katerina and her mum were just the absolute best hosts - nothing was a problem for them and any questions I had were answered straight away and they really just went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible.
In summary, I can't recommend staying here enough and can't wait to get back next year for even longer!
