Porto Elia Apartments Reviews
It is the rustic Greece of years gone by so if you are looking for manicured lawns and entertainment etc, stay away and leave it to the people who want to get away from it all in total paradise.
The village of katomeri is like a picture postcard, the old men in the ouzeria, old ladies hanging out their rugs all stopping to wish you good day.
There is one main Taverna (Big Georges) which takes you in as part of the family. In the village is "the Bottle Shop" this supplies water, wine, spirits etc and if you are staying in Porto Elia delivers them to your door! Handy as you have just trekked up the hill.
At the next village, Porto Vathy, there are 3 main tavernas, Porto vathy, Stavros and The Rose Garden all excellent food and very personal service. Stavros and The Rose Garden were our favourites.
With a population of only 1000 you do get to feel part of the community as everyone goes out of their way to say hello. Spartohori over the other side of the island has more tavernas but we only tried one, Lakis where the food was again good.
All in all this really is the most amazing place to get away from it all, our 13th visit to Greece and this is going to be hard to top!
