Aris’ father greeted me when I arrived and immediately helped me with accommodations. The family gave me lots of peace and respected my privacy, but I wouldn’t have minded seeing them anyway since they were very nice and hospitable. The room was clean and spacious and the bathroom was easy to shower in in spite of not having a partition between the shower area and the toilet (tip: just keep a bath mat on the floor near the door to wipe the water up). The room was cleaned regularly and they did my laundry for free. All of my things were left safe and alone in the room, so I felt very secure leaving important belongings in there while I climbed. The spot is a very reasonable distance from Masouri by scooter, so if you’re a climber and are worried about staying too far, don’t even worry about it as long as you have a scooter or car. Parking was easy as well. The space outside of the room was a tranquil garden terrace and I woke up each day to the sound of laughing children at the local school, so the vibes were happy. I would recommend this place to any climber or Kalymnos visitor!
