First of all, the location is great and very convenient. It is a short drive to the city and it is also located between Scorpios and Nammos, two of the best beach clubs, both of which are reachable by a 15 minute walk. The beach, Platis Gialos, has a calm vibe compared to other nearby beaches, which is great to relax when you’re not partying. There are a few good restaurants and a grocery store as well, so you can just walk there to grab a bite or buy supplies.
The apartments are a short 3 minute walk from the beach. The views are amazing! The building is stylish and each apartment has their own private balcony or terrace depending on the unit, so you can sit outside and enjoy the view. The apartments are super clean and they had a cleaning crew coming every day as well.
Our host, Antonis, was extremely friendly, accommodating, and helpful. He gave us recommendations for restaurants, places to go, and all sorts of activities. He also facilitated transfers from and to the airport as well as quad/scooter rentals for us.
All of this contributed to one of the best stays we had on Airbnb. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay at Bay Bees.
Some tips for your trip:
- When renting quads/scooters, there are several options; make sure you choose a rental place with new vehicles because many of them throughout the island are renting very old and beat up models falling apart.
- Don’t waste your time going to Paradise and Super Paradise beach - they are complete crap. Chances are that if you can afford to stay in Platis Gialos, you’re probably not the type of person who would go partying in those locations.
- The city is a short taxi or bus ride away. You can get either one by a 8 minute walk to the other end of the beach. I wouldn’t bother going to the city by car/quad/scooter in the high season because parking sucks. Get a taxi or bus instead. Lastly, there are lots of things to do in the city as well.
- I would recommend taking a day or two to explore the island with quads/scooters. You can do that in a whole day.
I would like to thank Antonis once again. Great host!
