We spent four very pleasant days in Filippos' house in the Chora of Andros. His house is full of light, clean, and tastefully furnished with old objects. The internal wooden stair which leads to the first floor may pose problems to someone who is physically handicapped, but it may also amuse a child, as was the case with our nine-year old daughter. The first-floor large terrace is splendid, with its wonderful sea view. The house located on one of the town's few flat streets is ideal; it is very close to the principal square of the Chora, but far enough from noise (except from the bells of the church that is just next door.)

Filippos' generosity and his eagerness to help us were remarkable and made all the difference in our stay. From the moment of our arrival (when he met us at the parking area that is a ten minute walk from the house) Filippos made us feel as his personal guests: He gave us a remarkably well informed tour through the Choras' narrow streets, offered us local goodies, many of them made by his mother, and when, for a few hours we needed an umbrella, he rushed to the house to give us one. We were lucky to have found his house (and him) and we unreservedly recommend his lovely house to anyone wishing to enjoy the atmosphere of this very beautiful island.
