This is a lovely, spacious apartment on the very edge of a complex and so nearest to a small beach. It is maintained to a high standard with a homely feel. The apartment itself, as well as the cutlery, crockery, utensils, furniture, linens and towels are very clean. Cleaners came in twice during our stay. The aircon is good (and quiet!), and there are electric shutters, so we slept well. The only slight criticism is that the upstairs shower cubicle is very small. A surprise welcome pack (including coffee, eggs, juice, water, toilet roll and a bottle of wine) was awaiting us, which was a lovely touch. It is about a 20-30 minute walk into Sami (depending on how far along the ‘strip’ you go) and it is a good-looking place with plenty of restaurants. If you don’t fancy the walk back after dinner, there is a taxi rank in town and a Spar nearby if you want to combine the ride home with a heavy shop (there is a small supermarket and bakery very near the apartment). The village of Agia Efemia is a 10 minute car/cab ride away and there are plenty of restaurants there too. Whilst hiring a car is a must if you want to explore the island, it isn’t essential for your stay here. We followed many of the recommendations in the visitors’ book in the apartment, which is worth a read (thank you everyone!). The pool in the complex is a good size, but the area around it quite small, and the sun doesn’t touch the water until the afternoon (in September anyway). However, this wasn’t a problem for us as very few people used it, plus we fell in love with Antisamos Beach (10 minute car ride) so even the diehard pool fans amongst us didn’t spend much time there. All the comms with Nasia (owner) and Vicky (Manager) were excellent. We took cabs to/from the airport (€50 each way), and our hire car was delivered to, and collected from, the apartment (€20 per day). Every review on HomeAway, and in the visitors’ book in the apartment, rates this property very highly, and I have no hesitation in doing the same.
