We had a fantastic stay in Zia. The accommodation was really clean, lovely and very well equipped. There was a little nespresso machine with coffee pods and sugar provided- greatly appreciated and delicious coffee! There was everything you need to cook there too, good sized kitchen, pots, pans and a few extras like salt and oil, which were really helpful!
Check-in should've been super easy with the lock-box but we managed to lock ourselves out bringing our luggage to and from the car (the doors automatically lock behind you!) but the owner kindly came and saved us at 1am with a spare set of keys! Thank you and sorry once again!
The accommodation is in the beautiful town of Zia with great sunset views from the patio. When researching where to stay we wondered about staying in Kos Town for ease of getting to and from other islands but we are so glad we decided to stay in Zia, the setting is so much more quaint and beautiful but still within few minutes walking distance of great restaurants and little shops. There's also a couple of hiking route options too (we decided we were too hot to give this a go but would like to try it next time!)
We did need to rent a car to get to the accommodation, you probably could get a taxi from Kos Town but to visit most places outside of Kos Town you really need a car to get around but the roads are good and car rental was easy.
For us the accommodation was in a perfect location to get to Kos Town, the nice beaches on the southwest coast, a vineyard for wine tasting and the Asklepion.
The house is right next to The Watermill cafe and you have to go through the café to access the house, so there's not loads of privacy on the patio but this didn't really bother us as the guys who work in the cafe were super friendly and make really good homemade lemonade!
All in all we had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again.
