The best house in Liparo.
Eleftheria’s house lies right in the middle of the bay, literally a few steps away from the beach. The beach in Liparo is a mix of sand and stones with nice clear waters.
The house is VERY large and can easily accommodate six people. There is a very big garden with trees and a hammock, and two very large terrasses where the whole family can eat or relax. Note that eating outside at lunchtime can get very hot, and there can be wasps around. An electric wasp racket is advised. Outside the kitchen is a big stone barbecue, with a very practical sink. There is also an outside shower for when you return from the beach.
Inside the house is spacious, with two large bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. There is a single AC unit, which is largely sufficient for keeping the entire house cool. There is no washing machine. The house is very well decorated and the beds are comfortable.
If you are not familiar with Liparo and Kea, be mindful that the house can only be reached by driving ten minutes on a dirt road. The road is fairly ok, and accessible to any vehicle or scooter. At the house, it is very easy to park the car anywhere, inside the main gate, or outside the garden walls.
Liparo is a very secluded location. This makes it a very peaceful place, but you must prepare well, as shops and restaurants are far away. Also, note that 4G coverage is very sketchy in the bay, and around the house. The house uses a 4G Wi-Fi router which suffers from the same difficulties.
As mentioned, The beach lies just 50m outside the house, and it is so easy to just walk back and forth whenever you need something. On the beach itself there are two permanent covered beach shelters where you can install yourself freely for as long as you like. On the northern side of the beach, directly in front of the house, there are also several low trees that offer good shade in the morning and afternoon. There are four or five other houses in the bay, some occupied by locals, others rented, but the beach is never, ever crowded. The most we ever experienced were perhaps two or three visiting cars on windy days where the other beaches are not accessible.
There is also another very secluded and very pretty pebble beach 800m to the south of Liparo, reachable with a 15 minutes walk.
This is without a doubt the best house in Liparo and our stay there was fantastic.
