Me and my partner stayed at the Aelia apartments for a week in Kos, and both agree it was flawless. Nikos is a fantastic host who was able to offer support at a moments notice, whether it be for airport transfers or local taxis or to request extra towels for the room.
We were very impressed by the quality of the apartment and the service by our brilliant host. Kos itself is a lovely island and this was our first trip there. There is a bike shop just down the road on the way to the beach, and it is well worth renting bikes or a car to get around the island, as there are safe bike lanes on the footpaths as soon as you get to the beach. It only takes 15 mins to cycle from the apartments to the fortress/harbour. The road to and from Kos town is flat, except a very gradual climb on the way back, but it just gives you time to burn off some of the amazing local food.
Many thanks to Nikos for all his help, and for keeping such fantastic apartments. We will be recommending them to any family and friends who are going to Kos!
