Smaragda

We booked this trip via Apollo to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. On Apollo's website, the patio and surroundings looked inviting. What we got was a patio facing garbage disposal. When we brought this to the attention of Apollo staff on site, we were suggested that they could "move a bicycle and something like a garbage can." That was their solution. Things got worse when Apollo denied in writing that they had contacted the hotel – even though the hotel owner herself showed up at our patio and confirmed immediately that Apollo had contacted her. Throughout, Apollo has asked us to propose solutions ourselves, instead of taking on the responsibility they have as a tour operator. We feel diminished and mistreated, especially during such an important event as a 70th birthday. After all, the rooms themselves were nice and properly cleaned. We would warn other travellers: do not trust Apollo's pictures on the website blindly. And if you have problems – don’t expect upright service.

Fantastically located hotel right on the beach and a lovely owner Desponia who really did everything to make you feel at home. Super. Rooms were very clean and tidy. Great! Also plenty of taverns nearby including Emanuel and Kamara. Nice bar of Paraschos that also rents the beach beds. Cozy and super service on the beach. Super good bakery, supermarket and car rental Hermes with a very nice Stephano with great prices next door.

Super cozy hotel with a fantastic owner! Fresh rooms with all the equipment you might need such as hair dryer, kitchen utensils, basic hygiene items, etc. Close to the beach, bars and restaurants.
