Lengo.D.home

This is a very spacious apartment, immaculately clean, with very high quality furnishings and sound system (hifi), and with a very well equipped kitchen (for example, proper knives, good quality pots and pans, etc). The AC worked very well (we needed it). Good parking with a shade cover. The apartment has really great unimpeded eastward views across the sea to the mainland. Very friendly and helpful hosts. For my daily morning swim it was no more than a 10 minute walk (through the abandoned hotel property just to the south) to access a small but very private beach, where we never saw anybody else. Supermarkets and restuarants are a short drive (one or two restaurants within walking distance) and the very nice western beaches are only 20 minutes drive away. To access the northern coasts, consider a water taxi from Benitses as the drive is rather long and windy - although very scenic...

1. It seems to be common in Greece to have doors with no outside handle, that lock automatically when you shut them (i.e. not hard to lock yourself out). I think this is to stop people running the AC when they are not in the house, since the electricity card goes with the key - so yes, good for the planet, although bad for the planet if you lock yourself out and the empty house runs AC for several hours while you ask your landlord to come with a second key! Anyway, this didn't happen to us, but we had to be very careful to remember the key each time! 2. Traffic noise from the road impinges a little when on the balcony, but not when inside as the windows are high quality and keep the noise out.
