We loved our stay in Maria's cottage in Tilos. It was everthing and more that we could have imagined for a stay in a small sleepy Greek village. Maria was always prompt in her responses to our questions and generous in her hospitality. A bottle of local wine, olive oil, milk, coffee, tea and a large bag of Greek honey biscuits were all supplied. As she was not able to be on the island, she arranged for a friend to meet us at the ferry and take us to the car rental (which she also set up for us). We then followed him to the village and he showed us how to access the house along the pomegrante and bouganvillia lined narrow alleys that serve the village. The only traffic on our lane was limited to cats and scampering goats. The village is small and delightfully peaceful. The photos cannot do justice to this lovingly built and decorated stone cottage. We found everything we needed for a week's stay and particularly enjoyed the superking bed/mattress. We were blessed with perfect weather for the entire week from October 5 which of course meant we could take full advantage of meals on the terrace and stargazing on the rooftop. Megalo Chorio is a tiny village with three tavernas (only two were open while we were there), a mini market to stock up on fresh produce, local wines and virtually anything you need. We spent our days exporing the several beaches within 10 minutes drive, as well as enjoying some meals and swimming in Livadia. The drive up to Mikro Choria is well worthwhile, especially in the afternoon light (the club was closed for the season). We were sad to leave but will return!
