We went to Stavros early October with two families (9 people) for which the house was really great! The children loved the pool with two different depths - one for the swimmers, one for the small ones. The beach is quite close; either 5min walk or 1min by car. You can find different kind of restaurants there. Real super markets are in the next town 15mins by car. We can really recommend the location for a similar setting!
General pros:
- The house with its pool is perfect for up to 9 people. Then there is a real bed for everyone. Any additional persons needs to sleep in the living room :)
- The pool is great! Located directly in front of the terrace it's perfect to have a first swim before breakfast.
- The house is located a bit outside of Stavros, which makes it very tranquil.
- Just 5mins to the very nice beach with shallow water in a small bay. Perfect for families with small children. Another 5mins there is the next beach with direct 'access' to the mediterranean sea. Here are some waves.
- In the 10 days we stayed there a housekeeper came twice to clean the whole house, garden area and made the beds! Great!
General cons:
- The communication with the host was a bit chewy. In advance of our vacation there came no response for a couple of days. Then we had a ask how to access the house on arrival etc. I think a more active communication would be great!
- The kitchen is very small. You do fit with 2 persons in the kitchen. Any additional person makes it very cosy.
- No large trash bins to store the rubbish bags :(
- Chickens and a rooster directly behind the BBQ station. So if you are looking for real peace this won't be the right place. The rooster is marking his territory also at night :(
Neutral:
- There are many restaurants around the corner from very good quality fish restaurants (Almyriki) to laid back french arab cuisine (Sunset Cafe Bar)
- Small super markets in town for the most important stuff. Large super markets in the next bigger town 15 mins by car.
