The area on arrival looks a bit rundown but in fact the apartment is really lovely and very well located. There is loads of room and the terraces are great for relaxing and having breakfast. We ate out every evening and there are lovely tavernas a few minutes' walk away. The beach is very close too and was nicer than we expected. The Apostoli beaches were really good too and you can catch the number 21 bus from the Kissamos Rd (a 15 min walk from house) and then it is just 10 mins on the bus. The house has everything you need for your stay and there were a few nice treats to get you started including a bottle of wine.The nearest shop is only 3 mins away and is great for fruit and basic groceries. We would definitely go back again as it was perfect for us and reasonably priced for the spacious comfort on offer.
