I highly recommend the villa Proistakis at Achlia. In fact, the property is two identical villas on the first line and we had booked one bedroom apartment in the building closer to the sea, but when we arrived, Manolis surprised us by accommodating us in a bigger apartment with a magnificent sea view. He had also left us as a compliment a bottle of wine, olive oil and homemade raki. He provided as useful information about the near markets, beaches and restaurants. All apartments are fully equipped including kitchen utensils, spices - everything you need. There is brand new pool in the property with breathtaking sea view, which is excellent for kids and afternoon sunbathe.
This part of the island is calmer than the west side with lots of beautiful and well settled or small wild beaches with extremely clean water. Next to the pool there are stairs leading down to incredible little beach where you can rarely see other people except few locals.
