Everything is exactly as described in the information, very nice and clean apartment with wonderful views over the bay and indeed a very friendly and familiar atmosphere; Sofoklis and Jana are lovely people and do everything to make it a great holiday, we were offered lunch after a sleepless night as our plane left very early in the morning and directly felt at home. The apartment is nice and bright and very clean and from the balcony there is an ongoing spectacle of servers and sailors who come and go in the bay. I was particular happy with the stove and oven instead of just 2 electric hobs and we got wine from their own vineyard, free ranged eggs, olive oil from their own olive grove and as much lemons as we want from the trees in the garden, delicious! There is of street parking and your don't need a car for your groceries, it's just a few minutes walk down a quiet street surrounded by lots of bougainvilleas in several colors to the shops and to the beach. Although there are mosquito nets for all the windows, we didn't really need them as we had just 1 mosquito during our stay. Jana gave us a map of the island witch was very handy for sometimes there are no signs, or they are only written in Greek. Sofoklis and Jana showed us the way to the most wonderful beaches, such as Agiofili, a 45 minute walk from the village. You can also take a boat that brings you to the beach and picks you up at about 16.00 in the afternoon. Don't forget your beach shoes, you need them as practical all the beaches have pebbles. Where ever you go on the island, the views are stunning and by car nothing is really far, so you can see quite a lot in a short time and you always find a beach nearby where you can enjoy the cristal clear water in the most beautiful colors. Just one more tip: go to Karya and have some of the many delicious starters on the village square with the biggest plane tree I have ever seen!
