From taxis to turning on the boiler, Despina’s as quick as a Google search in giving you advice, before and during your stay – she was abroad but still made me her priority. And about the place. Wake up and smell the coffee in your own private patch of sun, the balcony’s huge and perfect for breakfasts with a sea view. In fact, if you travel alone as I do, you can leave all your valuables at home, pop the keys in the security box, and swim without a care in the world at the bottom of the road. There’s Netflix set up on the telly for some background noise while you get ready to go out. Try KouKos or Drosoulites for traditional Greek dinners, Pita Gyro for a quick and tasty feed or The Last Butler, a prohibition style jazz bar, for a cocktail (you’re on holiday!). It might feel like you’ll snap the front door key but you won’t, it’s just a tougher lock which must be more secure.
