We own next door to Ron. Like him we like the area - mainly because it's very peaceful. We tend to walk into Calis in the evening and it takes around 45 mins, as Scunner says. A nice walk before your meal - espcially if there is a breeze.
There are a couple of decent shops on the main road down to the beach - they sell the essentials - bread, cheeese, tomatoes, efes, eggs, efes, water, raki etc etc and there are a few bars/ restaurants on the beach itself.
I've not heard of any break ins on our site.
One thing to be careful of is where you buy. Some areas do flood if the weather is really bad. It's worth doing your homework before you buy (email me if you want more info).
