Porto Limnia

I had been travelling around Chios for several weeks visiting as many villages as I could by bus. I now wanted to stay somewhere to rest and relax before moving on to another island. Limnia is the perfect place especially out of season. More than anything Porto Limnia was a lovely place to stay. It was very quiet yet close to the marina. The rooms were modern and immaculately clean with lots of space. I had a front room overlooking the garden and views down to the sea. I really couldn't have chosen anywhere better for a bit of down time. My host Georgia was away at her daughter's wedding but we had very good communication with each other so I knew how to access my room. She did come back to check everything was OK and very kindly brought me some wedding treats. It was lovely to see photographs from the wedding and to meet Georgia in person - albeit briefly. The apartment had everything that I could possibly need for my stay and it was like staying in my own personal villa as there were no other guests there during my stay. Down at the marina just a two minute walk away there are a couple of cafe bars still open. It is out of season so some of them had closed. None of them here served traditional Greek food but there was the offer of pizza or club sandwich which served me perfectly well. Katerina at the Hook also did me a great breakfast. Because I was using public transport to get around I was able to get the bus from Chora to Volissos. I had been given the phone number of George the taxi driver in the village who came to pick me up with my luggage. It is a short drive to Limnia but not doable with all my luggage. The nearest supermarket is about a 20-30 minute walk away at the edge of Volissos village (depending on how fast you walk). The same to walk up to Volissos which is an absolutely amazing place to visit. Walking along the road from Limnia takes you past olive groves and then the magnificent castle comes into view. Loved it here.

Nothing.

Looked very new
