Staying in Ano Mera
Use the square as your reference point when comparing Ano Mera addresses. A property described as being in the village may stand along an approach road rather than beside the pedestrian center. Check the walk to the square and bus stop, then plan beach outings separately, since reaching the coast requires another journey.
