Glyfada Beach Studios

The bathroom is tiny, and there’s almost no room in the shower unless you’re very skinny. Otherwise, the hosts were very friendly, though not everyone speaks English, and the room was very clean. It’s a perfect spot for swimming and kitesurfing, with a school and beach nearby. A great restaurant for lunch and dinner is within walking distance. The room is spacious, and some have a beach view for two adults. The surroundings stay calm, with no noise at night even in high season.

We had everything we could have wanted for a holiday here.

We stayed eight nights at this well-kept, fairly new property on a lovely beach on the island's west side. It's a good option if you want to be away from the tourist hubs. Our room had three single beds, a bathroom with a window and mosquito screen, and a kitchenette with a gas hob and fridge. There was a private terrace with a breakfast table, plus a leafy garden and a shared terrace with tables and chairs. The sheets and towels were changed every other day. The Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and fan all worked. Two restaurants are less than 100 meters away, and a handy market about 200 meters away stays open until 11 PM. The woman who manages the apartments speaks only Greek, but we managed to understand each other about everything. She was so kind and attentive. Highly recommend it, super!

Room 10 worked really well for us. It has three single beds, a kitchenette, and a bathroom with a window. Since it's the last room on the outside corridor, nobody walks past, and we could eat outside. The beach is right there on the island's beautiful west coast, so a late swim and barefoot walk back to the room felt priceless. There's also a lovely covered shared terrace where you can have an aperitif in the shade. The property is away from the busy town center, and the hostess, who speaks only Greek, was very kind and helpful. We understood each other just fine.
