Kalamuria Studios

Good location - 10 min. walk to the beach of Plaka. Studio was faulty - shower curtains were short and the showering space was quite small which resulted to flooding. The buildings are old so it’s quite moldy, Windows and doors are squeaky and loud. Of course deficits are to be expected with these low rates. The following we couldn’t ignore however. A day before check-out we agreed with Mr. Panos to leave the room on c/o day at 15:00. On the given day though, a little after 12:00 he came knocking on the door. Without greeting us he said that he was expecting other guests, making a hand gesture for us to leave ASAP. Naturally we rushed. When we arrived at the check-out counter I told him that a notification ahead of time was necessary as things did not go as agreed. Mr. Panos did not apologize. He only said that things change all the time. On a final note, even after insisting that we did not need the following, his friend who owns a van took us to the port and just as expected, we were overcharged. They charged much more in comparison to the taxi’s fixed rates. We are Greeks from Athens so we are fully aware about these “stunts”. This is just to advise those interested beforehand as we were misled by the other reviews.

If you are looking for a spacious studio away from the hustle of the Chora, but still within close proximity to top beaches, try Kalamuria Studios. Very clean with private balconies, you are also provided with an excellent self-serve breakfast which you can enjoy in the open, to start the day. Panos, the host is very friendly and extremely helpful in getting you started on what to do and where to go on the island. One of his best tips was Mousatos Taverna.

Great quiet location, comfortable rooms wonderful beach, helpful owner tries to accommodate our every need. Great selection of beaches. Breakfast included. Very picturesque Plaka is a wonderful area to stay in many restaurants
