“Don't Set The Bar Too High”

This place was underwhelming to say the best. For the price, and the four stars it claimed, I was expecting free internet, but I would have even accepted working internet. The employees are borderline incompetent, or incredibly lazy, and the nearest food (other than the overpriced hotel restaurant/bar) is either a 5 mile walk or a 19 Euro taxi ride into town. Don't stay here if you can avoid it.

We were unknowingly lured into the quicksand of charm and could not climb out until it was time to go. If you can imagine the millions of secrets, now silent and forgotten, that for 2500 years controlled laughter and love, life and death, if you can hear the ...

Jim is ready for a BIG beer but how to choose the right 'taverna' - Well, we met a really nice shop owner and she recommended a place - so we stopped and had greek olives, feta, pita and beer under the shade of a grape vine overhang and although I think I have had my salt intake for the week - it was soooo delicious.
