We have just come back from 8 days staying at Dimitris apartment. All our correspondence was through Krinio Dimitris’s wife what a lovely lady who responded very quickly to any queries or questions we asked. She messaged us on the day of our flight and was there to greet us as we were walking to the apartment. She showed us round and explained everything. We cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us.
Lovely, clean, spacious apartment, the pictures are an accurate representation. She left hand wash, washing up liquid, cleaning essentials and tablets for the washing machine. Very large comfortable bed, the air conditioning was amazing and a must after the walk back from the beach. The kitchen is basic but it had everything we needed. Having the washing machine was a great advantage as you don’t need to bring lots of clothes and have fresh beach towels every day. We loved the powerful shower lots of hot water, Krinio told us to help ourselves to the towels.
The sun is on the balcony in the morning so lovely to sit out on to have your breakfast its really quiet, there is a lovely breeze. In the afternoon there is shade on the balcony lovely to sit out on and have a drink before going for dinner.
It’s a few minutes walk to bars and restaurants. We can highly recommend the Platon Taverna it is a family run business the food is delicious the staff are very attentive particularly the owner and Alexandra our waitress, everyone spoke really good English.
We walked to the My Market supermarket which took 20 mins which was great for cheese, meat, bread and wine much more choice and the wine was better, we only went once to get supplies, the local supermarket was fine for everything else.
The use of the pool at hotel Osiris was lovely 5 minutes away with very comfortable beds, we only went to the pool once as it was so hot and only a little breeze.
It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach using the cut through and over the little bridge. The sun lounges are €5 each per day the beds are spaced out, the beach is not that busy it is pebbly but we didn’t find it a problem. The sea was very clean with gentle waves, the breeze was lovely and keeps you cool as it was very hot. There are public toilets they are very clean, you do have to pay 50 cents, there is also a shower. We read that people said the planes were a nightmare flying over but we feel that this is unfair they were not disturbing and they weren’t that frequent so don’t let that put you off coming. There are some nice bars and restaurants along the beach.
We went on the bus to Rhodes it was beautiful well worth a trip, there are lots of boats trips to choose from. We had a lovely walk round the harbour. It’s worth walking round the old town this was very beautiful with little quaint taverna’s and bars.
We went on coach trip around the island €37 each picked up at 8.20am from our apartment and home at 6.30pm a very full day. You had to pay extra for the butterfly valley €5 the ruins was €6. When visiting the butterfly valley I would advise you wear trainers not flip flop’s as the surface is uneven in parts and the path is built using stones and pebbles into concrete. The trip also took us to Ancient Kamiros, Kritinia Castle, Siana village, Monolithos Castle, Embonas Village and a beautiful Fountain. We had a traditional lunch €14 for 3 courses and wine well worth it.
Krinio messaged us the night before to come and say goodbye also to ask if we needed a taxi which she very kindly organised for us.
We would definitely recommend Dimitris place and we will be back again absolutely loved it.
