They are mostly very friendly. ***The wind and weather do affect mobile phone service and Wi-fi at times. There is no mobile phone reception on many mountain roads, and in parts of the house, due to thick concrete walls.*** SEASONAL NOTES: *May/June and September/early October offer beach weather combined with solitude. *During July and August, much of Greece is on vacation and there are few rooms available in beach towns like ours. It gets very hot - bring extra sunscreen, hats and drink lots of water. You may also want to reserve beach chairs in advance at your favorite beach. *November and December can be "wet" months and are the olive harvest season. However, they are also called the 'second spring': yellow, pink, purple, and white flowers line the meadows and hillsides and there is an enjoyable mix of sun and rain, resulting in fantastic cloudscapes and rainbows viewable regularly from our balconies.
