First of all, we were met at the ferry and given all the information we might need, put on a bus up to the village (a good hour/hour and a half) and even given presents. (Home-made cheese pies. Delicious. Many thanks.)
We came in early March in order to go hiking, knowing the weather forecast was bad. It certainly was, however, contrary to most winter Greek retails, the house had full central heating and was as warm as toast. I can't say how important this is when a freak late snowfall happens... We've travelled a lot in the islands in winter, and this house was probably the most set-up for a winter rental.
The village of Koronos is traditional, old-fashioned, and everyone is remarkably friendly, in the shops, the two tavernas that were open, the two cafes, the several little shops, even in the streets. Everyone had time, everyone wanted to talk.
Thanks to Eleni, who met us and showed us in, and was there if we needed anything, and above all thanks to Dimitra, who was very regularly in touch, asking how things were, if there was anything she could do and so on.
Oh, and Koronos is a perfect base from which to hike the excellent paths on the north of Naxos.
