my husband and i have spent one week in the authentic and well restored cottage that belongs to tina and antonis. he has kindly picked us up from pigadia and driven us to the airport, and helped us with all kind of infos. communication has been perfect. the cottage is well equipped (we have only cooked breakfast) and it is nicely peaceful and private, still within a comfortable walking distance from at least 3 tavernas (more may be open in very high season), the mini-market, and various beaches. we were perfectly all right even without a car which we only rented to explore the island up to olympos (not to be missed). highly recommended!
