This apartment is fantastic! It is simply not possible to capture in pictures. Excellent location in the center of the village, close to bakery, shops, cafes & restaurants, ATMs, beach (5 minute walk). The apartment feels very spacious with big windows and lots of light. The wrap-around porch is great -- you can choose to be in the sun or shade and there is a great table for eating outdoors. The porch and the thick walls keep the apartment nice and cool. The bedrooms are nice sized and there is a private bath with shower in each bedroom. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking in. The washing machine is a super amenity and there is a clothesline and rack for drying outside. It is quiet and private and super clean. The VIEWS are incredible from the porch. Lush plants on the porch add to the exotic feeling.
Lana and Richard are great hosts. Lana had fresh croissants, bread, fruits, and red & white wine -- what a lovely welcome for us! They are friendly and helpful, but never intrusive. Richard's sons took our daughter out for drinks and dancing with their friends. Be sure to visit their restaurant, Galiano's -- great pizza & pasta.
We also enjoyed fish at the Eftalou restaurant and The Captain's Table. Our favorite food find was Friend's gyros pitas on the main street. These are pita sandwiches with your choice of filling plus tzatziki, lettuce, tomatoes,and french fries for only 2.5 euro.
Molivos is a lovely village, very safe! We walked everywhere (you don't need a car here) and were not worried about our daughter when she was out. Plenty of shopping and food and beach activity, and easy to rent a car or motor bike if you want to explore elsewhere on the island -- we chose not to because we were perfectly contented in our fabulous apartment in Molivas. We did take a taxi to Eftalou and recommend both the restaurant (fish!!) and Elleni's Workship for beautiful hand-made olive wood products.
Be warned -- Molivos is hilly and you will enjoy a great workout for your legs! Wherever you go (except the castle) it is uphill back to the apartment.
We highly recommend this island, this village, and most of all, this apartment. Many thanks to Lana & Richard for providing such a wonderful holiday accommodation!
