We stayed at the garden Shiite for two nights and it was wonderful, the room has everything you need and is very good size for three of us. Location is very close to the old town about 11 mins by car. The reception Alex was fantastic while our stay, he made sure everything is ok and being very helpful. We will definitely come back again if we go here.

Location of the apartment was excellent. It's located close to the center of the city and within walking distance to it. The apartment has excellent and modern facilities and made the stay better. Staff support was excellent and prompt. While the apartment does not have a washing machine, given the size of the apartment, there is a very good laundrette less than a minute's walk from the building. Kudos to the host for maintaining such an excellent standard for the apartment.

Hotel was in a central location near a busy area of restaurants which were very reasonably priced. Very comfortable bed & had a great sleep! Shower was really powerful. Good breakfast with hot & cold options. Loved the design & decor of the hotel. The staff were lovely, particularly the lady that met us when we arrived late evening.

The location was wonderful, right on the beach, amazing views, watching the sunset every night. The room was lovely, super clean, air con worked excellently, the owners were helpful and brought whatever we requested, they're kind and hospitable and we would like to visit again. Highly recommend for families because beach is walking distance and there aren't any stairs in the property to be worried about.

Ostrakon is a new, modern hotel. Very clean with great amenities, especially the basket with extra utensils like an iron, which was very practical. I like the family atmosphere, especially conveyed by Maria. The direct beach access was very convenient and the breakfast right on the beach with a view of the sea was perfect! The staff at Me Gusta were also very friendly! Thank you Maria for making our vacation wonderful with your tips and your loving nature! I will be back! Efcharistó poli!

Hotel is located almost on the beach, what was the best thing. Breakfast was mostly similar each day, but there were so many things to eat that You can eat every day something different. Personnel was very kind and helpful. Seaside view was great - mostly during evenings. Beds and umbrellas on the pool and on the beach was available. From street side – a lot of pubs restaurants and shops.

The ladies at Klinakis Beach Hotel are wonderful. The view from our third floor beachfront facing room was amazing. If you are up early enough you can see the sunrise and then later in the day you can see the sunset. It’s an older style hotel but it’s definitely better than a one star hotel. The breakfast was great and included freshly squeezed orange juice every morning.

Wonderful hotel situated right on the beautiful beachfront of Molos Bay. The hotel is recently refurbished with spacious room and modern decor, exceptionally clean and quiet. The hotel has a nice outdoor pool and also a large number of sunbeds and parasols right on the beach.Breakfast is good and the hotel is excellent value for money. However the staff make it, such a friendly welcome and we were made to feel right at home.

The trip was perfect, we came to the hotel and they have upgraded our room to something unbelievable, not only we had quite big private pool for 2 rooms, but also a astonishing view on the seaside and mountains nearby. The private beach of the hotel was in the beautiful bay between two mountains. The food was delicious, but it depends of what you prefer, we really liked all the traditional food. Definitely will come back again 👍
