We spent a week in the apartment and had a truly fantastic time! As others have written already, the view is absolutely breathtaking! There are some very nice beaches a 20-30 minute drive away. You will find several supermarkets in Plakias. (A car is definitely highly recommended.) The place itself is very well taken care of and clean. The kitchen has a couple of pans and pots, not a lot of equipment but we didn't miss a thing. You should bring oil, spices, coffee etc., because there was nothing in the apartment when we arrived. Couples should know that one bedroom has two separate smaller mattresses and one bedroom has one large mattress. We did not have German TV although this was advertised. Other guests have reported problems with the room service so I'd like to give my 2 cents on that: The pool is cleaned every 1-2 days, this takes 10 minutes in the morning and the cleaning lady is super cautious not to disturb you. In addition there's room service every second day, which means the place is cleaned up, you get new towels etc. Although I don't think this room service is necessary (especially not for a place that relies on privacy), the cleaning lady is super nice and charming, and of course she doesn't bother you if you tell her that you don't want room service on a specific day. So, no problem in this regard. On one day we had no water for a couple of hours - not unusual in these dry regions, and something that will occur more frequently in the future - and this was handled extremely well by the Stratos people. Their communication is super quick and friendly. I would not recommend this place for families with kids (steep stairs, a rather deep pool etc.), but for couples or other groups this is the perfect place for a calm, relaxing, private stay. Highly recommended!
