An authentic Greek Island experience
If you are seeking an authenic rural residential Greek island experience, then Anemousa will not disappoint you.
We woke to sounds of sheep and goat bells, donkeys braying, roosters crowing, vespers and on Sundays the chime of Greek Orthodox church bells and the chanting of the liturgy.
Positioned upon a ridge, the beautiful little stone cottage is blessed with magnficent views on both sides to the west and eastern coasts and you can enjoy both sunrises and sunsets.
The hosts give you as much space or support as you need. Inside, the cottage is beautifully appointed with rural simplicity. It has everything you need for preparing your own meals. However, it is also a short walk down to Lakki to enjoy a coffee or meal there and Lakki has one of the best fruit and vegetable shops we have ever seen.
If you want to explore the island you will need a car and there is a lot to explore and enjoy including many pristine beaches.
If you enjoy sailing, are active and comfortable with boats and the sea, I encourage you to ask about a day trip on board Simone Marchi's beautiful little yacht Lolita.
We booked two trips and were delighted with the experience. We sailed to the nearby island of Archangelos and on the first day swam to shore to enjoy a meal at the only taverna on the island. The second trip we were treated to a delicious octopus salad prepared by host, Alexandra.
Our three-week stay created a life time of memories for us and we will definitely return.
