There is an alternate, but more complicated question that would work as well. Ask the man 'where would someone from the other village tell me is the nice place to go?' And then you go to the opposite one. The honest man would point to the nasty village, because that is what a lying man would say. The lying man would also point to the nasty village because the honest man would say the nice village, and he has to lie and say the opposite of it.
