EAST AEGEAN
Client Reviews from Chios & Inousses
The Ostria Studios in Katarraktis are really good and
easy to reach by bus from Chios town. The rooms are very comfortable and
the sea views great. Katarraktis is a lovely little village just the right
size for exploring, relaxing and eating. We did three days of walking but
then ran out of choices and hired a car for 3 days, which let us complete
the southern loop of Pyrgi, Olympia, Mesta and Port Lithio. We also drove
to Volissos and admired the Pyrgos Village Apartments which looked really
comfortable although they were locked up at that time. We found the
zig-zag roads hard work and would not want to spend a whole week exploring
the island by car!
Innousses
A great little island though the weather was not good at first, so we were
four days into our stay before we explored the beaches which were numerous
and good. The walk round the island?s roads was good and not too taxing.
The Thalassoporos Hotel, was a wee bit tired but very clean and
comfortable - the balcony was a real plus during the evening sunset. The
owner and her staff were very friendly. The town was shutting up for the
winter and only the quayside taverna was available for evening meals. To
summarise: Inousses is OK for a week in high summer but probably only 3 or
4 days in the shoulder seasons.

16 spacious studios and 4 apartments right on the sea, not five minutes' walk from the harbour front tavernas. All units have full sea view from their large balconies. Attractive pool with sun-beds round it on the terrace. Apartments have kitchen/diner with two sofa beds. Overlooks a beach which is better for a quick swim than a whole day's picnic. Lovely views across to the Turkish coast.

Stone Houses of Kalamoti
Two studio/apts tucked into the picturesque old quarter: here is your chance to feel really Greek. Inevitably quirky and best for 2 persons, but two extra beds dotted around - OK for family. Compact kitchens and sh/wcs but well equipped; and nice patios. One has elegant living room.

Thalassoporos Hotel, Inousses Island
Refurbished (in parts) and run by charming friendly people, the Thalassoporos stands up in the old village with nice views from many of the rooms. The shops - decidedly unsophisticated - and the eating and drinking places are all within easy walking distance down wide steps and within puffing distance on the way back.
Air-con; B&B.
