We stayed at the Lida Mary in October 2023 in the magical village of Mesta on the Island of Xios, Greece. This place is not to be missed. It's a walled village with winding stone walkways and friendly people. The owner of Lida Mary, Tasos, really made our trip. He recommended places to visit, arranged our rides and was always available for questions. He went out of his way to make our trip even more special. He suggested that we take a ride to the nearby village of Pyrgi and visit the Mastic Museum. We did this for a day trip and would recommend it if you have the time. Pyrgi is larger than Mesta with more shops and interesting buildings and churches to visit. The museum was more interesting that I anticipated and has much of the history of the mastic trees on Xios. I doubt we would have visited either if not for Tasos' recommendation. The rooms in the Lida Mary are charming, clean and just off the central square. We stayed in the Koukouvaya Suite, which we loved. It was spacious, clean and quiet with a nice outdoor sitting area. Others in our party stayed in the Livadi Tzaki and Megalo Livadi suites, which share an outdoor deck and are nice for a small group sharing the space. They have steep stairs for access, if stairs are a concern. Tasos was right there though to help anyone with their bags. Thank you, Tasos for a wonderful stay. We would love to return to Mesta!
