Bright sunny accommodation with hospitable owners
A bright sunny room overlooking the beach. Very hospitable owners and a great taverna downstairs for all your needs. A great choice to rest overnight after walking the gorge or for a few days of total peace and relaxation.

A perfect base for the gorge hike
It was a perfect night to prepare for a big day's hike up Samaria gorge. The owner was very welcoming and throughout the stay he was always friendly and helpful. He also provided an extra pullout bed at short notice. The room was small but fine, with good aircon and free wifi. We had a really good dinner in the restaurant overlooking the beach and the breakfast the following morning was fine too. He helpfully offered a place to store our luggage while we hiked the gorge.
