Ioanna and her mother are friendly people who gave us a warm welcome to their apartment on the Sivas - Kamilari road. The stone construction is pretty, the apartment is clean, and the furniture is attractive. There are very beautiful views facing east over the olive trees to the Mesarra valley.

It's possibly just a language issue, but the rental was unfortunately not quite what we were led to expect.

First, "Aelia villa" is not a villa or maisonette, it's a studio apartment in an unfinished building that will one day contain several apartments. Second, there are not "two bedrooms". This is a one-room apartment with a double bed located in an alcove near to the refrigerator; and two single beds located overhead on a wooden platform. Third, the site is not truly "quiet", the building is situated on the Sivas - Kamilari road and one hears all the traffic coming up the long hill towards the apartment.

However, the location is excellent with easy access by car to Phaistos, beautiful beaches, and lovely villages. Please note that the apartment is not directly in Kamilari, but on a road south of Kamilari ... so best to have a car.
