Where to start?
Tamara is a warm, generous, helpful host who has created Dahlia Apartments with good taste and thoughtful planning. Rooms are lovely, quiet and private.
Our 1-bdrm apartment was spacious, sunny and well-ventilated. The beds were comfortable, the storage good, and the kitchen sufficiently equipped to prepare simple meals.
But why cook? The waterfront restaurants are a 10-minute walk away and offer lovely fresh meals at economical prices. There is also an amaaaazing bakery, a fruit stand and a decent mini-market almost directly across the road from the apartment.
The bus to and from bigger Paroikia stops at the end of the Dahlia driveway and runs reliably (2 EU ride per person if bought from the driver, 1.8 at station). Leaving Paroikia, just ask the driver to let you off at the bakery.
The beaches are many and appear lovely, but we were not there in beach weather to say more. We chose Alyki to be in a less touristic area. It exceeded our expectations, in part because Tamara made staying there so homey.
Highly recommended.
