We visited Akti Kastraki end of June 2019 as part of our family holidays (we were there with two daughters, aged 4 and 11. We originally planned to stay for two nights and extended for the whole week as this place is simply magical and much better than what you can expect from the photos. The location is superb as it is in the countryside and very very close (indeed a few meters!) to the most beautiful sandy beach we have seen in Greece. Perfect place to escape crowds and relax. For those who travel with kids there is plenty of space to play around and it is really safe - easy and gentle entry to the water, no stones, no traffic. Athina, the owner of Akti Kastraki, is a great host and cares a lot about everything. Food in the restaurant is simply excellent (I strongly recommend to try Athina's octopus - by far the best I have ever eaten). Rooms are comfortable, each apartment has a very nice veranda where you can relax and spend the romantic evening. Staff is nice and very helpful. We would love to come back to Kastraki in future and highly recommend this place to everybody.
