The rooms are about 500m from the taverna pictured on the site. Rooms have no glass to drink water from the bathroom tap. Surrounds of builing in which the warren of rooms is has no tavernas or grocery shops from which to buy food. Car us needed to go downhill to tavern and back up to room after meal
