Stelio’s place was just as advertised. It is nestled on a hillside, amongst the goats, and beautiful.
You definitely need a car and it is absolutely up a narrow, twisty, steep, partly dirt road. The parking lot option with the five minute walk to the house was the option we chose for coming and going during our visit. But, Google maps wasn’t able to pin point the exact route to the house from the parking lot so it took us several attempts before we mastered it.
Also, when we checked in, the lovely ladies said it was a simple walk to town and just “go straight” down; it seemed so easy that we didn’t question it. Later, when we set out to walk to town though, we couldn’t find the “straight” way down. Again, Google maps couldn’t precisely tell us how to wind our way through the hillside alleys. We tried our hiking app that keeps track of our way and it wasn’t enough to clearly mark our path either. We figured we probably could have made our way into town, but, we were worried about finding our way back up, so, we never walked down to the town.
Stelios sent a detailed list of tavern, landmark, and beach recommendations that was very helpful. He also had welcome items waiting for us in the fridge.
This is a great place to stay if you want off the beaten path, have a car, and can manage steps. The house, and views, are truly beautiful.
