The village is rural but has all necessary facilities.eg mehana[ cafe] bar,shop,post office, good local bus service. The shop is a real gem open all hours.just remember to buy your milk in nearby Elena as the locals supply is straight from the cow! The locals are very friendly and helpful but little english is spoken so bring your phrasebook. There is even a disco on a friday evening for those wanting to trip the light fantastic. |
