The island was absolutely perfect for what my wife and I were looking for: a relaxing place, various SAND beaches to visit, good food and a beautiful, not too pricey place to stay. All our expectations were met and beyond. The hospitality at the hotel was brilliant, the scenery from the hotel was marvellous (e.g. the best terrace ever to watch the sunset - it became a daily ritual to have a drink at that time of the day just to watch the daylight coming to an end).
The hotel (Liostasi Hotel) in general was gorgeous, very well maintained and with a chill out music all day that made us constantly feel in a spa, the beaches were nice and so relaxing / silent that we could hardly think of anything, and the food...well, these guys really know how to have a great meal. Every place, regardless of being in the main village or in an isolated beach with only one restaurant, the food everywhere was very good, tasty and the cheese (which is produced in the island) was absolutely glorious.
As for the authorities, they should try and get involved in making sure that ferries arrive and leave on time. On the return boat trip, the ferry was one and a half hours late and I missed my flight back to London! Plan your boat trips considering delays from the ferriess as Greeks are a bit laid back and they don't tend to compromise that much. And as for the taxis, it's not very nice having to wait for more people when taking a taxi, so the taxi driver can make more money with one trip.
