From Gail Bell, Merseyside, UK

28 Aug 2002 - "Just returned from 2 weeks in Limenaria, staying at the Anna with Manos. I though Limenaria was a great place. The taveran owners do ask if you want to eat intheir place, but if you don't they always give you a smile and a comment to have a nice evening (or have a nice walking as one owner kept telling us). The owners of the Anna, tanya and Demitri, were very nice, the hotel was in a quiet part of town and you could use the pool and bar at the Anna Beach, the sunbeds on the beach were also free and Demitri always got us a good spot. They would also change money for free.

We hired a car for a week so you could stop off at some of the great little coves and beaches, the water was perfect for snorkelling. we did have a problem with wasps on the Skala Potamia side, but non at limenaria, there were a few mossis about, but insect repellant worked ok. Aliki is well worth going to, there were lovelly little tavernas along the beach. I would also recommend going on a boat trip, which was great fun."

From Louise, Manchester, UK

24 Aug 2002 - "I returned from Scala Potamias on 13th August and i loved it. It was my first visit and I was very impressed, we stayed at the Aloe studios - they are lovely they are compact but they are so clean with sea views We hired a car and the island is so pretty - very green. Thassos town is lovely, I also liked Aliki beach and the village of Panagia. I wasn't keen on Limenaria as the taverna owners hassle you. All in all I thought it was a lovely island, very popular with greeks which is a good sign , I particularly liked the Nautilus restaurant in Scala Potamias."

From Mandy Lord, West Yorkshire, UK

23 Aug 2002 - "My husband, my daughter and I have just returned from our first visit to Thassos; what a wonderful Island! We had a fantastic holiday! We travelled with Golden Sun (15th/22nd August 2002) and stayed at the Athrion Studios on the outskirts of Skala Potamias. The studios are a leisurely 20 minute stroll from Skala Potamias . . . . . .

From Rita Ainslie, Kent, Wirral, UK

22 Aug 2002 - "Arrived back from Thassos 8th Aug stayed in Skala Potamias. Slighty disappointed after reading the feedback from this web site. Thassos didn't quite live up to what I expected. Yes there where lots of wasps which are extemely hard to ignore 2 of my party were stung several times even the locals were surprised with how many were buzzing about! Mosquitos also out in tremendous force you could not go out in the evening without dowsing yourself in mossi repelent!!

But worse of all was the building work there is an awful lot going on especialy in Skala Potimias and even more so in Golden Beach area. we stayed at the Aliston studios very nice apartments but building work both adjacent & opposite property 7am - 2.30pmish every day including Sat&Sun. If you have young or teenage children then the owner/manager Fanasis is not very tollerent of them having fun in or around the pool area he appears to like everyone to be quiet, ok for some but not youngsters. Even so we did enjoy our holiday but this is not one of our favourite islands and i don,t think it deserves a second visit."

From Frances Sheldon, Leicestershire, UK

20 Aug 2002 - "Restaurant Flisvos, Skala Potomias - excellent food, freshly cooked by the owner Vangelis. The most delicious meals were served to me there by very friendly staff who during our holiday became our friends aswell. My son and I cannot wait to go back, and experience it all over again. WONDERFUL!!"

From Stuart Miller, Kent, UK

16 Aug 2002 - "For those of you who may be nervous of travelling independently to Thassos - don't worry. We travelled flight only back in May after several years of package trips to the island. It was so easy that we are doing the same again in September.

We booked our May flights using an independent travel agent in Swanley, and for the September trip we found flights on the internet. We found several benefits of travelling independently. Most importantly it makes the holiday much cheaper. OK we had an advantage because we have made friends with people living in Skala Potamia on our former visits so we were able to arrange accommodation, but if you travel outside the peak times of July and August there are plenty of rooms advertised to rent.

Travelling independently is also more convenient. We came straight out of the airport and jumped into a taxi to Keramoti. The journey cost 6 Euros. You buy a ferry ticket from the kiosk where the ferry docks (about 1.25 Euros) and you've probably got time for a beer at one of the local tavernas before the coaches arrive from the airport.

At Limenas you get off the ferry and there is a taxi rank right beside the ferry dock. The fare to Skala Potamia was 6 Euros, and we were at our accomodation in next to no time - you know what Greek taxi drivers are like! No sitting on a coach waiting while everyone else is dropped off at their accomodation before you.

However, if you prefer, the bus stop is next to the taxi rank so you can take a bus which is much cheaper, but takes slightly longer. But remember - the buses stop running after about 6 o'clock.

All the ferry times are posted outside the ticket kiosks so you can arrange your return journeys quite easily. No problem!"

From Trudi Bareham, Somerset, UK

18 Aug 2002 - "We came back from our 4th visit to Skala Potamia in July,it is our favorite place to be in Greece! We stay at the Paschalis Studios ( Golden Sun ) clean and close to everything! Everyone is so friendly and treats us like long lost family when we return. Favorite places to eat are Akrogiali, Megas Alexandros, The Captain's Bar do a great Kleftiko, and the Votsalo for our lunch snack and after dinner drinks, with our friend Smaro and her family. Have read of lots of problems with wasps this year, though we have never been troubled before on our visits. Smaro told us it was because of the very cold winter there, 4 -5 feet of snow followed by lots of ice!!! We go to Thassos every 2 years, but if we could afford 2 holidays a year we would go each year!! We hope to live there when we are old and gray!!! I can't imagine anyone not enjoying a holiday here, and just hope the tourism is kept to a minimum and not find too many English people setting up cafes to take away the business from the locals!"

From Chris,Kim and Becky, Yorkshire, UK

14 Aug 2002 - "Got back from Thasos on August 6th.Stayed at Skala Potamias, it was wonderful. There were a lot of wasps but they do not seem to be aggressive and you soon learn to just ignore them.

Go to Panagia, superb place, and find The Hotel Thasos Inn and have a beer on the terrace away from the crowd, what a bar!. Also go to Kastro up in the mountains,a beautiful deserted village with one inhabitant ,a top man if ever I met one, who owns the only taverna there and which is open everyday. Ask him to show you around the church,awesome!.

For the best beaches, with no crowds, go to Skala Marion, you won't find a nicer place on the island and there are two fantastic beaches there. Thasos is as beautiful as it says in the brochure and the people are so very friendly and helpful. We'll definitely go again, I have never swam in such clear, warm water. Paradise!."

From Ann Leather, UK

11 Aug 2002 - "Went to Thassos for 2 weeks at the end of July, stayed at Calypso Hotel Skala Prinos which was well kept, very clean and Yianna the bar maid was so friendly. We hired a car and travelled around the island stopping at many of the view points we were very dissapointed to see loads of rubbish thrown over the sides of the cliffs spoiling the views! also a lot of places were scruffy and dirty and not looked after very well which is such a shame as the place is lovely and deserves to be kept in better condition. Golden beach was filthy the sand was full of rubbish and absolutely covered in fag ends the bins were overflowing and we felt so sad that such a beautiful place was so neglected. We won't return to Thassos and feel the locals should improve the standards of cleanliness and generally clean up more and care better for their island."

From Tony & Barbara Middleton, Cheshire, UK

8 Aug 2002 - "Just arrived back in UK 6 Aug after 2 weeks on Thassos, stayed at the DIONYSOS hotel on Golden Beach , wow what a fantastic place & the view of the bay was out of this world. Will stay there again ,every room had the sea view. Golden Beach itself is a get away from it all place, just a couple of supermarkets and a few tavernas but all of them give you a fantastic meal. VIGLIS & FEDRA were the best two, NIKOS the head waiter at the Fedra is one of the best guys youll ever meet (that place is a must for anybody.)

The downsides.
WASPS. be sure to take a good spray .ps try burning greek coffee in a container they hate it.they also love HAM so beware!
BUSES .not a very good service, none from Thassos Town after 6.45pm (might be better with car hire for a couple of days )
TAXIS . they dont like golden beach, so if theres only two of you then you might have to share with somebody else.ps they drive like failed f1 drivers but safe as houses."

From Robert Nunn, Swaffhem Prior, UK

4 Aug 2002 - "We have been to Thassos 17 times, & we assure you ,you will have a very good meal in the Pighi restaurant. It is off the main road in Thassos Town, just up from where the ferry boats come in.I t is good value for Euros & we always go back for more."

From Paul Boothroyd, UK

3 Aug 2002 - "Returning to Skala potamia for our second holiday here, stayed at the garden studios (golden sun) last year, owners very friendly and clean accomadation, they run asmall store below the rooms, very handy for breakfast food, and far too handy for late night drinks!! Going to Susie studios this time on 6th August, I hope they are as good. A lovely island, We will do Theologos this time! Good website keep it going."

From Tracie & Phil Fieldhouse, UK

1 Aug 2002 - "We have just arrived back from our 3rd visit to limenaria and no doubt we shall go again next year! At Sunset apartments the family are now considered friends & we are so pleased that they are going to rent 3 of their 9 rooms privately. Every year just gets better! We love the place that much we would eventually like to move there (saw fab houses in Scala Sotiras!). We are going to learn Greek now so we can have a real good go at communicating. Kostis is one of the best places to eat in Limenaria but even the local Giros is good!

PLEASE Thassos DO NOT allow MacDonalds or the like & large TV screens showing football - that's why we love you so much! I was going to try another Greek island for next year but now I've been again I think is will be Thassos!"

From Miss Julie Purslow & Mr Eddy James, Cumbria, UK

28 Jul 2002 - "We went to Thassos, Skala Potamia last year 2001. To celebrate my 40th birthday yes it comes to us all age that is. Anyway I digress we found Thassos to be Heaven. We have never been made so welcome. I being Julie have been to Greece many times in the past but have never experienced the withdrawal symptons I had when returning from Thassos. We used the local buses to tour the island. Made friends with Alexandra in the cake shop. Found our favorite beach to be Paridisio. Our favourite taverna was "Restaurant-Cafe NAUTILOS".

Our table was reserved for us every night, the food was excellent, the company even better we were among friends! This year we are going back flight only for 3 weeks to stay with Kostas & Katerina who also have apartments called the castle it is a bright yellow complex. We have considered going to live there eventually. We daren't tell anyone about it because it could be spoiled. The first time I see a McDonalds will be the last time I visit the island."

From Jim Spring, UK

25 Jul 2002 - "Went to Thassos 2 years ago and what a discovery! We loved every minute of our stay - Thassos town, studio apartments, and knew we had to come back. We are returning next week (30th July) and staying in Nostos Studios in Golden Beach.

I've just read some wonderful reviews on this site and others about Golden Beach, so am looking forward to it even more! Thank you to the other reviewers for recommending the restaurants and local car hire, though if the temperature is still in the 40s, we probably won't travel far!

I look forward to posting our review on our return, and want to thank the owners of this site for the excellent info and links. I think it's true that once someone discovers Thassos, they can't help going back for more and more! Best wishes Jim"

From Eric Foot, N. Yorks, UK

24 Jul 2002 - "Just returned from our 5th visit to Thasos, so we obviously love it! Stayed at the Achillion in Scala Potamias this year. V. friendly and comfortable, though some distance from town and beach. Breakfasts not wonderful. I preferred self-catering at the Steki Taverna, but my family wanted a swimming pool.

We book a flight only, arrange a car from Kavala airport, and book accommodation over the internet. This works out at around £250 pp for 7 nights - cheaper than all but the very last of the "late bargains". And we get our choice of accommodation and a car.

Have no fear whatsoever of finding accommodation when you arrive in Thasos. Every other house has comfortable rooms to let, and most are always vacant! My teenage son got a 50% reduction by doing this, and took less than an hour to find a comfortable ensuite room. If you don't want a car, Taxi from the airport to the ferry at Keramoti is about £6, Ferry less than £1 and buses on the island are almost free and enormously entertaining.

DO climb up to the Acropolis in Limenas (early morning or late evening is best), DO visit Theologos, and DO go to Aliki unless you're on the island the same time as us: it can get a bit crowded, but wasn't on 16-23 July 2002. Take a parasol, or you'll burn."

From Sarah Kendle, Berkshire, UK

18 Jul 2002 - "We have just returned from a lovely week in Thassos and I thought I would add my comments as I found this site very helpful before we went.

We stayed at the Villa Amalia (Golden Sun) in Scala Potamia - which were very nice - spacious & clean and on arriving we had possibly the friendliest welcome I have received in Greece yet! The owners were so nice, bringing us cold drinks and were very welcoming. Scala Potamia is lovely, not too quiet but not really busy either - the beach is fabulous and our little boy whose two, loved it! The sea shelves quite gently so it's ideal for children. There is a good selection of places to eat and we particularly liked Kramboussa, where they are also child friendly (when they brought an appetizer of ouzo for my husband & I, they also brought a little glass of pineapple juice for our little boy so he didn't feel left out!) and they had a decent highchair (some do, some dont have them at all!) Nautilus was good too as was Flisvos.

We took a trip up to Panagia, had a wander & some lunch and bought some of the delicious pine honey with walnuts they produce - which was a pleasant morning. Thassos is very green & lush even more so than Corfu - we did have 2 storms while we were there and saw some fantastic lightening! The only thing which was a little annoying were the wasps - they weren't particularly aggressive, just very persistant.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Thassos - it's beautiful. My husband loved it and he has to be dragged on holiday!! - we will definitely be going back for longer next time so we can explore a bit more. Can't wait . . . . . "

From The Tyremans, Gloucester, UK

10 Jul 2002 - "We had a fantastic holiday in Skala Potamia, totally relaxing. However not so relaxing that it was boring for our children aged 8 and 10; who have asked to go back again next year. Would like to recommend Tavern Megas Alexandros. The food and staff are excellent, especially Alex who makes you feel so welcome."

From Cheryl Turver, UK

5 Jul 2002 - "C J s Cafe Skala Potamia - A great place to eat if you fancy a great breakfast and snack. Run by an English couple who liked Thassos so much they have opened a snack bar.The bar is spotless and the view is great.

Flisvos offers great value for money & has a great selection of food.Paula who runs the restaraunt with her Greek partner Vangelis who is the chef offers a good selection of greek food which can be viewed before you order.We had a selection of local fish to share which was superb."

From Steve and Michele, UK

3 Jul 2002 - "Just got back from a weeks break on Thassos, staying in the Fotini Studios in Thassos town (with Airtours). Brilliant time, weather excellent (couldn't be any worse than what we're having in the UK!) in the 30's every day. Beaches lovely, excellent snorkelling. Good food too... particularly recommend the bar under the oak tree in the old harbour - between the Old Port restaurant and Simi's. Possibly the most laid back beer I've ever drunk! Then a short sounter to the best food we found - Patriko's just a little past the Old Port restaurant and behind the Port building.... really got to recommend the Tzatziki, and the oven cooked meatballs!"

From Emma Devlin, Flintshire

3 Jul 2002 - "Just back from a wonderful week with my 6 year old daughter to Skala Potamias, we stayed at the Dina Studios, which were just perfect, lovely and clean. Dina was so very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. My daughter was stung by a wasp on her foot, Dina was at the ready with all the right medication to sort it out, together with a glass of ice tea!! The representative, Louise, was very passionate about Thassos, this being her second year on the island. She was exceptionally pleasant, as were all the Thompson staff, very informative and made everything hassle free.

My advice to anyone travelling to Thassos would be to take insect repellent if you are prone to being bitten, make sure you enjoy yourself, relax and enjoy the mountains, beaches, spectacular thunderstorms and the greek life. I am already in the process of booking to return in September when I will take my partner too!!"

From Emma and Karen, Essex, England

29 Jun 2002 - "We have just returned after a fabulous week in Skala Potomias. We have already booked another 2 wks in Sept, and are counting down the weeks.!

We travelled with Thompson and our rep Louise was excellent.We had a long journey to the Island as we travelled on the day of the Ferry strike, but it was an experience searching for your luggage in a dark carpark with 700 other holiday makers. We stayed at Semelie Studios, immaculate rooms, we didnt need for anything.

Situated right in the middle of everything to our right the bars and restaurants and we tried out nearly all of them, all mouth watering dishes. I made sure i had a greek meal in each, and to our left we had the beautiful long golden beach. We collected alot of pretty stones to bring home with us from the beach. and had lots of fun and frollics in the sea with new friends that we made in our week.

I hope it doesnt get to built up, We love Skala Potomia and Thassos the way it is... only 9 wks to go now..xxx

From Angela Norcross, Wiltshire

29 Jun 2002 - "Just returned from our first trip to Thassos (went 13th June, came home 26th June, Scala Potomia.) The most beautiful place I have been in a long time - through one window we were staring at the Swiss Alps minus snow, out on our balcony and we could see the sun rise over the sea. Swifts nesting above our heads in the cool shade of our balcony.....definately be returning (and posibly trying to buy a little place in Sotiras

BUT this is just a quickie, and quite important for anyone about to go soon, because I wish someone had told me these things before:

From Gemma Seale, Kent

25 Jun 2002 - "I have been going to Thassos since I was eight years old and I am now 24. However 3 of those years were actually spent working there, which I may add was a fantastic experience. After reading all these messages it is nice to hear some of the people talk about my friends whom I have known for those 16 years! especailly when Stuart miller was talking about the Boomerang Bar who is owned by very good friends of mine and my family.

I am returning to Thassos with My Fiancee and My parents on the 27th August for 2 weeks as we are attending a Wedding in Drama! However, Stuart we may see you there if you are planning on returning to the Boomerang Bar at the beginning of September! It's always nice to meet new friend. My Mum and Dad have already been to Potos this year in May and saw there friends who own the restaurant Zoom, so it will be nice to tell them that this site recommends their restaurant! Mind you it was the first time my mum and dad had eaten in the restaurant since they have opened and they said the food was out of this world and a fortnights holiday wouldn't be long enough to try out all of the menu.

Well for those of you who will be going to Thassos at the end of August, you will find me in the Boomerang Bar so if your Passing come and say hello!"

From Stuart Miller, Kent

16 Jun 2002 - "Once again we've had an excellent holiday in Skala Potamia. There are quite a few changes going on in the village. A telebank on the main road near the Blue Bay Studios. Very useful - and it works!! Several new buildings being built, a row of shops next to the Mandragoras bar, a bar at the crossroads and a block pavement along the track from the bridge by the Korali taverna out past Akrogiali. Oh, and there's a new snack bar next to the Avis rent-a-car office run by an English family. However, their menu seems to be a bit limited - English breakfast, steak and chips and mixed grill. Not the sort of food I go to Greece to enjoy!

Talking of food there's a couple of places I'd like to recommend not mentioned in my previous message. If you're staying at Golden Beach try a taverna called FINIKAS. This is run by George who used to work at Vigli, and he is doing a grand job. His menu is extensive and good value. I ate the shrimp souvlaki, and if they were shrimps I can't imagine how big prawns would be! Also, if you're in Thassos Town, it would pay you to walk around to the harbour and indulge in a baked potato and a beer at Remezzo. My favourite is the tuna filling. We visited all the establishments previously recommended - Krambousa, Akrogiali, Mousses, Megas Alexandros and they are all maintaining their excellent standards.

We "discovered" Potos this year. We went there thinking it was market day. We were wrong, but it gave us the opportunity to roam around. The seafront is particularly nice with a host of bars and a couple of really good fish tavernas. We had a drink at the Boomerang bar. This is run by a Greek who emigrated to Australia, and has returned to the island with his two sons and a new wife! They were very friendly and they operate a system whereby they will let you have a sunbed if you buy a drink and/or snack. This was an offer we couldn't refuse. Have you ever seen a tortoise in the wild? We saw two on Thassos last year. One in the mountains on the way to Kastro, and the second on the road between Astris and the Monastery. So we were keen to spot another this year, and we did - on the road near Kinira. Brilliant!

We're going back in September - we may see you there!"

From Cathy Baker, Berkshire, England

16 Jun 2002 - "I arrived back from Thassos after a wonderful holiday with my three daughters just last week and I have already booked to go again next month with my partner. I would never normally go back to the same place twice in one year but Thassos is exeptional!!"

From Mick & Tracey, West Yorkshire

14 Jun 2002 - "Thanks for the excellent site. We visited Thassos in August 2001 (at 44yrs, my 1st ever time abroad). What a fantastic place! We stayed in apartments no longer listed in Airtours brochure, but had already decided to go back this year and stay at the Hotel Macedon, Thassos town. The friendly reception we always received when we called BEGGED to be re-visited. We'll be there again in August and will let you know how we go on. Can't wait!"

From Genine Nash, England

13 Jun 2002 - "Have just come back from a week at Hotel Dionysos, Golden Beach. Apart from the steep climb to and through the hotel grounds, it could not be faulted. Beautiful unobstructed views across the bay from all rooms which are sea facing, spotlessly clean and amazingly friendly staff. It's also very quite day and night."

From Peter and Irena Vlaming, Amsterdam, Netherlands

11 Jun 2002 - "We fully agree with all the positive comments on Thassos and especially Skala Potamias. We stayed there recently 2 weeks in the very nice, quiet and clean apartment Filio. The beach, see and mountains are beautiful. Last year we spend our holidays at Corfu,but now we prefer Thassos to Corfu in every respect.

We especially fully agree with the high recommandations for taverna Megas Alexandros in Skala Potamias! As vegetarians it's not always easy to have a good choice, but at M.Alexandros it was no problem. The mother of the brother owners Alexandros and Dimitri is vegetarian herself. We've eaten there 4 times and every time the food and Thassian white wine was excellent. They even made on our special request a vegetarian mousaka which was even better than the excellent one we had at Corfu last year.

We only have one question: who is meant by Megas in the name of the restaurant. Most probably it's the owner Alexandros, but theoretically it can also be the old more than 2300 year old world conqueror. Greetings from Peter and Irena."

From Nichola and James, England

10 Jun 2002 - "Have just returned from a glorious week in Scala Potomia. The acccomodation booked through Libra was very average (and reps average too!)- take your own towels and pillows! The island itself was beautiful - mountainous and very scenic. Loads of restuarants and wonderful food. I would suggest hiring a car (around 22 euros for the day - good week rates availiable) and drive around the island. Some fantastic secluded beaches to be discovered. A lovely island - relatively quiet and peaceful - will definitely be returning!"

From Alan Chatwin, England

8 Jun 2002 - "I first visited Thassos in 1971 with my then new wife, her mother and aunt who are both Greek and hail from Thessaloniki. We visited Golden Beach then and there was nothing there apart from a few small houses but since returning in 1994, and five other times since, I have found "Sotiris" taverna at the northern end of Golden Beach to be superb. The Garides (king prawns) are magnificent. Service is good and prices are not OTT.There are so many goods things I could say about Thassos, I would be here a week just writing. I'm going back In September this year Staying at Villa Eden in Limesnas (Thassos Town) with Kosmar.

Your site is a mine of very useful (and accurate) information. I know many of the places and tavernas mentioned and I almost always agree with the feedback. Well done and thank you."

From Ray & Margaret Hunter, Cheshire, England

8 Jun 2002 - "Just got back from visiting the island for a second time. Stayed again at Hotel Socrates, Scala Prinos, still an excellent hotel, clean and beautifully kept. Added self catering rooms at the rear, beautiful, since are last visit. George the son can not be too helpful. Better ratings than Thompsom Cat gives it. The Nest taverna approx 100 metres away is still the best place to eat. Very freindy, service excellent meals and not pricy. In my opion the best in the resort."

From Josie and Alan Watson, Yorkshire, UK

7 Jun 2002 - "Thanks for so much information on Thassos ! We will be spending 2 weeks in Scala Potamias at the Green Sea studios (3rd July for 2 weeks). Have got loads of info on best restaurants etc from your site. As soon as we get back we'll send you our comments."

From Sharon Kelly & Paul Appleby, Northants, England

6 Jun 2002 - "Returned from Skala Potamia 4.6.02 and had a fantastic time. Stayed at the Blue Bay Studios through Thomson and found owners very helpful in resolving a few minor problems we had. Can definitely recommend using local buses to go into Thassos Town. Only 2 Euros for a return trip!! Tip - Remember to buy your tickets, before you board, from the local supermarkets. Tried the Steki and Krambousa restaurants as recommended on this site and both were excellent. Will definitely be returning some time soon!!"

From Peter and Valerie Gough, Essex, UK

5 Jun 2002 - "Just arrived back from our second visit in seven years to Thassos and thankfully it is still unspoilt, peaceful, beautiful, friendly and very relaxing. We stayed at the Hotel Dimitri in Golden Beach and it was really nice, Dimitri really put himself out to make nice breakfasts each day, sometimes fresh cherries or strawberries were picked from his garden. A very quiet place, not for those who want lots of night life. Just eating in the tavernas in the evening, especially the Fedra, never had a bad meal and the staff are lovely. Beach beautiful, hire a car, we did and got a bargain from Potos Rentals, go to Paradise Beach, Alyki Beach and try Pefkari beach, all lovely. Not much to buy but do get your drinks on the return at the airport, we found them cheaper than the shops in Thassos town. In Thassos town there is a little hotel, Hotel Alykon and you can get a pot of English tea and she makes lovely scones and lemon meringue pie if you feel like something different from the Greek food occasionally."
