Once settled in, I really enjoyed my stay at Sophie’s Place. Initially it was difficult to communicate but with the help of Google Translate, we eventually found a way.
Location wise - it’s somewhat isolated and quiet but I just rented a scooter from a place up the road and then everything became very easily accessible. The beautiful beach of Sarakiniko was just a 5 minute drive, Medusa the must eat at seafood restaurant in the seaside village of Mandrakia is also only 5 minutes drive away as is the Plaka area, which is perfect for sunset watching. If you don’t have a car or a scooter then the bus stop is just a 2 minute walk away and buses run about once every hour.
The apartment itself was very spacious and clean. It had full amenities although I didn’t use the kitchen at all.
Wifi good inside the apartment but not great outside if you’re sitting on the verandah.
The host is super enthusiastic. It’s just difficult with the language barrier. But I can’t blame her. It’s not like I can speak Greek.
