You will feel very much part of this friendly island community during a stay here. Maria and her mother Lia built these four apartments next door to their family home, which dates from 1880 and is something of a museum reflecting the traditions of Kassos. One of its many original features is the magnificent pebbled courtyard through which you enter the apartments.
Although the four apartments are newer (!) they have the essence of a traditional village property. Walls and floors have hand-painted designs, and the furniture traditional (some antique). However this is not some trendy boutique Airbnb renovation - we stress that the apartments are simple and homely. All are different but possess a kitchen area, WiFi, air conditioning, shower room and terrace or balcony, some with sea views.
You are in the heart of the village's narrow whitewashed lanes here, but a 3 minute walk via some steps (not too steep) brings you down to the centre of Fry and the charmingly colourful fishing harbour of Bouka with its pair of good tavernas above (others may of course be found nearby). The sandy beach of Emborios is 1100m distant, about a 13 minute walk.
But what will make your stay here special is the care and individual attention Maria gives to her guests. She is Kassos' greatest advocate and you will come away immersed in the traditions and folklore of her island - and maybe first hand experience of one of the dozen island festivals, many of which tale place between June and September.
