Maria's place was modern, comfortable, and sparklingly clean. She and her husband Yannis were the most hospitable guests, catering to our every need. Maria even baked us all kinds of treats which our girls really enjoyed. The only surprise for us was learning that the bus comes to Apollonas only once a day at 6:50 AM. But if you have a rental car, this won't be an issue. Also, Apollonas is about an hour drive from the port and 45 minutes from Apiranthos and other villages in the Tragea Valley. If you plan to explore the island from Apollonas, you will spend a decent amount of time driving. But for those interested in just relaxing in a small, quaint and very authentic Greek seaside town, Apollonas will not disappoint. Even on windy days when the waves on one side of the beach are too strong to swim, kids can still usually enjoy the harbor side beach protected by the breakers. There are also several restaurants to try, delicious ice cream, the famous Kouros statute to see, many herds of goats and sheep which provided our girls with daily entertainment, and friendly locals who would stop us in the street with offerings of fresh vegetables from their gardens. We will never forget our lovely stay in this town!
