Our condo was a generous size, with 3 balconies - 2 of which had sea views. The bed and soft furnishings were comfortable and clean. There was plenty of storage. The kitchen had full-size appliances, including an oven. Tho dated, the bathroom was spacious. Stefanos, our host, was warm and friendly and Mariniki, who welcomed us at the property was very chatty. Our condo was good value for money. It’s a quiet location; tavernas and beach bars are a short drive away. We were disappointed with the location, however. We had understood from the name and the pictures that we would be beachFRONT, not beachSIDE, with direct access to the shoreline. In fact, the property is about 250 m (a short walk) from the sea. There were a couple of cleaning issues on arrival. The fridge needed to be wiped down before we could put away our food and a grill pan with dried meat juices had been left unwashed in the oven. The leak from the bottom of the toilet bowl took 3 days to fix; despite asking, we were not able to change rooms and were not offered a discount for the inconvenience. The hot water tank took time to heat, but when it did the water was very,, very hot. ##### Deborah Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CLEMENT May 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### CLEMENT Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Floriane Sep 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Floriane Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Olympic](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-Hotel-Olympic.h444282.Hotel-Information) > > [GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-GDM-Megaron-Historical-Monument-Hotel.h1098349.Hotel-Information) > > [Calilo](https://www.expedia.ca/Ios-Hotels-Calilo.h33318162.Hotel-Information) > > [Symphony Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Santorini-Hotels-Symphony-Suites.h38257893.Hotel-Information) > > [Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Angsana-Corfu.h66197379.Hotel-Information) > > [Grecotel Filoxenia](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalamata-Hotels-Grecotel-Filoxenia-Hotel.h1466348.Hotel-Information) > > [Kiani Beach Resort Family](https://www.expedia.ca/Chania-Hotels-Kiani-Beach-Resort-Family-All-Inclusive.h3998357.Hotel-Information) > > [Keti Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Santorini-Hotels-Keti-Hotel.h18570288.Hotel-Information) > > [Astro Palace Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Santorini-Hotels-Astro-Palace-Hotel-Spa.h3625705.Hotel-Information) > > [Marin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-Marin-Dream.h1355224.Hotel-Information) > > [Super Paradise Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mykonos-Hotels-Super-Paradise-Suites.h12245279.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Atlantis Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-Aquila-Atlantis-Hotel.h67282.Hotel-Information) > > [Nana Golden Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Nana-Golden-Beach-All-Inclusive.h15277485.Hotel-Information) > > [Divani Meteora Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalabaka-Hotels-Divani-Meteora-Hotel.h1828511.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes Zeen Chania, a Luxury Collection Resort, Crete](https://www.expedia.ca/Chania-Hotels-Domes-Zeen-Chania.h25749963.Hotel-Information) > > [Artemis Seaside Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Milos-Hotels-Artemis-Deluxe-Rooms.h7632792.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Hotel Casino Loutraki](https://www.expedia.ca/Loutraki-Agioi-Theodoroi-Hotels-Club-Hotel-Casino-Loutraki.h985059.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes White Coast Milos, Small Luxury Hotels of the World – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Milos-Hotels-White-Coast-Pool-Suites-Adults-Only.h48214292.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Occidental-At-Xcaret-Destination-All-Inclusive.h882765.Hotel-Information) > > [Milos Cove](https://www.expedia.ca/Milos-Hotels-Milos-Cove.h22353390.Hotel-Information) > > [Faros Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Milos-Hotels-Faros-Apartments.h46949657.Hotel-Information) > > [White & Co.
