This is an old shepherd's house, so overall it's fairly basic, although it does benefit from a recently refurbished bathroom and hot water system as well as a massive queen size bed with luxury Cocomat mattress.

It has a beautiful balcony with sweeping sea views which benefits from a breeze. Below is a side-of-the-street, chill-out porch where you can watch life passing by in the shade.

This is really somewhere to get away and forget the world on a Greek island with the sunshine, the flowers, the clear waters and the utterly unrushed village around you. You have a 15 min or so walk down the mule path to the secluded beach, you're up on a big hill so this is a lovely walk if you're fit, curving round a gorgeous valley with pine and olive trees, lizards dart over the stones. It's also just a couple of minutes walk to the central village square with its abundance of bars and restaurants, and from where you can pick up a bus or taxi to connect to the rest of the island.
