Gina's home is really lovely. The location is peaceful and quiet yet a short drive to Plaka and Pollonia. Mandrakia is easily reached by foot and the rest of the beaches were very easy to access by car. I would certainly recommend hiring a car or scooters regardless of where you stay but most definitely if you are staying at Gina's as it is a bit remote and taxis are quite expensive on the island. Gina was not in town during the time we were there but her father was sweet enough to meet us on the main street so we could find the home easily. He also brought us fresh fruit from their garden. Overall, they were wonderful hosts and the views from apartment are amongst the most beautiful on the island.
