Anastasia Studios

There's a lovely, homely Greek family feel here, with great views. The proprietor gives first-class service, and the place is excellent value. The room was cleaned every day, even Sundays. There's a supermarket and two restaurants nearby, as well as the delightful VENUS car rental place within walking distance.

The family who run Anastasia Studios are lovely hosts, though they live in a separate house. Everything was tidy and clean, and the new pool was warm in August. Restaurants, bars and mini markets are only a short walk away. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was better than we expected. I'd recommend it to anyone.

A newly added pool is handy for the occasional dip, and there was no trouble finding a sunbed. The hosts are welcoming, and it's a peaceful, relaxing place for a holiday. The beach is just over a mile away, with Tavernas close enough for a stroll down the road. You can buy six-packs of water at the accommodation, so there's no need to carry water back from the nearby Supermarket. On the way to or from the beach, there's also a bakery down the road with pastries, good coffee, milkshakes and fresh orange juice at reasonable prices.

We keep returning year after year because we love this quiet, peaceful place. It's set in an olive garden, and the owners are always welcoming. They grow their own vegetables, with chickens and sheep wandering around. It feels as rural and traditionally Greek as it gets.
