Villa San Dimitrio is a wonderful place to stay. It is quiet, peaceful and yet only a couple of minutes’ walk to tavernas. It is located just 40 metres back from a lovely beach and is at the quiet end. Swim from the doorstep and shower the sand off in the garden before entering the house! Great coastal paths link the neighbouring beaches, with several to chose from within three miles either direction. We didn’t hire a car; the local bus network is easy and hassle-free, there was a good small supermarket and couple of bakeries 10 min walk away, and the local, characterful town of Marpissa had everything else and was about 15 min walk. We dived with a local outfit on golden beach and caught the bus over there each time. We even bought fish fresh from the boat in the harbour at Piso Livadhi! Manouli was a superb host, and we had an amazing, generous welcome. The house has many, lovely spaces to relax and eat outside and was cool and comfortable inside with every facility to enable home cooking (for our big family of 6, a welcome option). It was a thoroughly luxurious place to stay and we would love to go back!
