Small kitchenette with a fringe, microwave, stove top and a coffee maker. Spacious bathroom with a tub. Large balcony with a partial view. Parking is on the street and like in any other small town in Greece, it’s a hit or miss, luckily we didn’t miss. Extremely friendly front desk staff.. I believe...
