We stayed in the lovely Park House run by the owners of the Abbey, Ian and Carol Burdon - superb accommodation, excellent breakfast and delightful hospitality - thoroughly recommended. We paid £75 a night for two.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28473 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27530
Ward and Wies Renders, are delightful and very helpful Belgian hosts who opened Little Swallows in 2007 after renovating one of the quite amazing mansions that are dotted across this wonderful Greek peninsular. The standard of the accommodation is exceptional, as are the wonderful breakfasts, and the pool is a real bonus.

The area is fantastic walking country following old cobbled trails which link villages together - Ward will provide excellent advice about routes. Even in mid-summer the sound of running water, gentle breezes and forests soften the intense heat.

Nearby is the well-known village of Milies - one end of a narrow gauge steam railway which winds through the stunning mountain scenery.

The village of Pinakates has a number of good tavernas and a car is not essential - but helpful if you want to see more of the area as buses are infrequent.

This place can't be recommended highly enough.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27530 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17199
Not cheap but worth every penny. Don't miss it - the two TV chefs borrowed the name, with permission. Named after the first to open at 88 Dumbarton Road.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17199
