This was our first time in Greece, and thanks to Mandy and the lovely little apartment it couldn’t have been better! Mandy is the most generous and caring host that you could possibly wish for, never far away for local advice and knowledge. Mandy is a real life potter and warmly invited us to join in her multilingual ceramics classes, where we met some friendly locals who gave us lots of local tips.
The compact but well equipped apartment was nice but the real star was the garden with a stunning view over the island to the sea, nearby islands, and Turkey. The sunset was incredible.
The sweet little village is not too touristy, but has a couple of great places to eat and drink. It’s in the middle of the island so easy enough to get anywhere on Kos. There are a couple of excellent vineyards between Mandy’s and the nearby beach!
We found it convenient to hire a car to get to Mandy’s, and the roads weren’t as scary as I thought they might be. Of course, once we got to Mandy’s her kind hospitality meant that our holiday on Kos was one of the most stress free we’ve ever had!
