A spacious apartment by the sea
So pleased we chose Panos’s apartment in Almyrida for our 2-week late summer holiday. Panos was an excellent host, quick to respond to queries and suggested many places for us to visit. The apartment was very comfortable and well equipped but had a slightly quirky layout. We spent a lot of time on the spacious, well-appointed terrace with brilliant views of the sea and surrounding countryside. The interior living space was great when the weather was inclement. The welcome pack provided by Panos was much appreciated and we were thrilled to have filtered water on tap! Almyrida is an excellent base to explore the surrounding villages on foot and we walked to Plaka, Gavalachori, Kalyves, Douliana and Kokkini Chorio where we had some wonderful lunches before returning to the apartment for relaxing evenings by the sea. We spent a lot of time swimming in the warm Sea before visiting many of the Tavernas on our doorstep. We were sad to leave as there was so much to do and see and hope to return in the future.

A lovely property with everything we needed. Right in the centre of Almyrida on the sea front ,close to beaches tavernas and shops. The roof terrace is fantastic comfortable sunbeds different seating areas and beautiful views. Panos couldn't have been more helpful and provided everything needed for a comfortable stay including welcome goodies and his own olive oil. I would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect apartment, location and hosts
All reviews of the apartment have been 5* and I can only echo that. We a family of 4 who stayed for two weeks. The apartment was perfect, clean, spacious in a central location with a lovely roof terrace that we made use of most evenings and the perfect place for a morning coffee Panos is a great host, friendly helpful and accommodating, with good commons thought-out the stay The bottle of olive oil as a leaving gift was a nice gesture. The village itself has everything you could need without feeling too much like your in a built up resort. Plenty of nice places to choose to eat and drink. The cafe underneath, Francoise is the best place for breakfast and coffee The beaches are great and never felt over crowded, would recommend to anyone. . Pear tree for fresh fruit. Pizza and pasta restaurant ignore name- for alternative to meat and potato they do a cracking seafood tagliatelle

A fabulous holiday
We had a fantastic week in this apartment. We picked up the keys from the cafe bar underneath as Panos was away however he was easily contactable and quick to answer our questions at all times. He came to see us midway through the week and at the end of our stay to check everything was ok. The property was spacious, well equipped and comfortable for our family of 4. Beach towels as well as bath towels were really appreciated. There were a few items in the fridge on arrival which were useful so we didn’t have to dash to the shops as soon as we got there and some olive oil to take home. The roof terrace was amazing and we spent lots of time enjoying the space up there. We loved Almyrida which had a family feel and had a great selection of places to eat and safe areas to swim and snorkel. We were sad to leave.
