Joan was an excellent host! My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time in Arta. Arta is a perfect place to come stay if you desire a more local vibe/atmosphere. I would recommend renting a car so that you can check out the various beaches east of the town. There is an awesome restaurant walking distance from Joan's place. It's called sa gripia (definitely a must go!). The apartment is absolutely gorgeous and a complete steal for the price. We recommend Joan's apartment 100%!
