Goats bells and tranquility!
My sister and I just LOVED this peaceful, totally private property with stunning panoramic views.
we both needed a rest and Hara's villa provided that and more! Plenty of seating areas in shade and sun and a lovely little garden area. We adored the gentle sound of tinkling goat bells coming from the woods behind the villa.
It was a 5-10 minutes walk into the harbour past the local village horse. So many good tavernas and we ate at as many as we could, when not out elsewhere for the day, but needed longer for them all. We particularly liked the Sea Rock, The Pergola and The Local and also the local bar and coffee shop with the blue and white chairs and tables, where they made great cocktails.
Communication with Hara before our trip was easy and when we arrived we found the most amazing welcome pack of juice, milk,water, wine, fruit, butter, cheese, fresh bread,cake and all the cupboard neccessities including local olive oil produced by Hara's family.
Hara herself was a total delight...warm, friendly welcoming and considerate and we had some lovely conversations with her.
She regularly came to change towels and bedding and provided all loo rolls, kitchen roll and serviettes.
Aghia Effemia is a delightful village and harbour with a mix of tourists and locals and I was remembered from previous visits by some of local taverna staff.
We hired a car and airport pick up from Nikos and Katerina (Starvillas) and travelled to many places in North and North east of island.
