Very comfortable hotel - directly facing sea and port/quay, but not too noisy. Rooms quite small and bathroom is tiny, but good quality had everything you needed (and you don't come to Greek islands to sit in hotel rooms!).

Mylos, in Fry, is a good place to eat.||Our only negative experience was the rudeness and unhelpful manner of the woman at the car hire firm - don't expect...

People must know what this owner do before giving him money. He is very cruel.. I would never...
