This is an amazing location and really easy to get to from the port. The local beach is lovely, no facilities, can be popular but still plenty of space, calm waters. Can sometimes be a bit windy but some shelter is available from the trees lining the back of the beach. A little walk or drive along the track takes you to Kourtali beach which was amazing, a smaller cove with waves, we often had the place to ourselves in the morning. Great snorkelling too!
We hired a car for some of the time spent here and would recommend doing so, but taxis are also available at 15 Euros from the port so we used this to begin with and just enjoyed the local beaches. Then hired a car to explore further afield.
The apartment is really spacious and has everything you might need. Amazing terrace - we loved stargazing at night!
The apartment is on a higher level with an apartment built below, there are a few other accommodations in the area but you feel very private. Families with very small children might need to be careful with the top terrace having no safety barriers as this essentially is the roof for the building below. Our children 7 and 8years were fine though.
There’s no local shop - you need to go back into Gavrio for groceries etc. There is a taverna locally although we didn’t try this out.
Dennis met us at the port and showed us the way to the apartment and was very helpful and friendly throughout our stay.
We’ve asked the owner to add some info about recycling as there are facilities in Gavrio.
Overall - stunning! Wish we could’ve stayed longer.
