About the neighborhood
The neighbourhood is basically the beach. We are outside of the village, just next to some other cottages along the bay. If you are grieving for cigarettes or chocolate, take a five minutes walk along the beach for the next Kios. All in all it is a very quiet place ... You won't find bars or a variation of shops ...
Getting around
Public transport is the Bemos - Minibuses. You can stop them right in front of our place. Easy. Also the Buses to the West drive by our place, you can easily catch them here. If you need transportation around Flores Island Marleno can organise a car for you or even set up a custom trip. We also rent out our (manual) motorbike or can organise an automatic one.
