Staying in Bethem was great. Honestly, it was better than we ever expected. Bethem is a quaint little community near Arta and just past Colonia St Pere (a little larger community with more food options). Keep in mind that the place is a retirement community with (primarily) German retirees and a few people on vacation. In terms of the room itself: It is on the third floor, so it is a little walk if you have a hard time walking up stairs. The building is nice and the key in the lock box makes for an easy checkin. The room is set up like a typical 1 bedroom flat with a small kitchen, living area, bathroom and bedroom. Both the living area and bedroom have doors out to the balcony that make for amazing....I mean amazing...sea views. For the price the apartment was far better than expected. The amenities were pretty basic, but if they were improved, Sebastian could rent the apartment out for much more I think. The only issues we had were as follows: -A few electronic items did not work properly (tvs, etc) -The areas are clean, but not pristine The Host: Sebastian was completely awesome as a host. He kept up with us regularly up to our stay so that we were aware of all the necessary things. It really was an east check in check out process and whenever we had wifi issues he was simply a what's app message away to help us. Great host. FOOD: At the bottom of the apartment building is a small super market and a restaurant called "nova es calo". The restaurant may seem pricey for dinner, but it is great for breakfast and a little lunch. We would wake up every morning before a hike and grab some cafe con leche (1.50 EU) before we left. The staff are there from the beginning of the day to the end, which made for good conversations and a great vibe. The restaurant feels very Mediterranean. Although the room is great, you really pay for the location if you stay here. You are short walking distance to the coast, but Bethem is right on a trail all the way to es calo (an old fishing pier) of lava rock that jets into the sea. The trails is lined with no less than 3-5 virgin beaches (with sand), the first of which is less than 20 minute walk from apartment. It also makes for a great morning run with the sunrise to the coast. If you want to go off trail, you can hike all the way to the edge of the peninsula. At the entrance to town, another trail takes you 50 minutes into the mountains to the Ermitas de Betlem (a 19th century monastery). An amazing hike. Colonia St. Pere is a 3 minute drive from Betlem (but you can walk) and has many restaurants for late night dining on the beach. If you really want to go do city...
