Karpathios Studios

The balcony view alone would bring me back. These are lovely little studio apartments for exploring Pefkos, though getting up the steep hill to the apartments and pool is a workout. The bar service was always great, and nothing seemed like a bother to them.

We've stayed more than once and love it here. The rooms are spot on, the pool is great, and the staff are incredibly lovable. It's super clean, friendly, and relaxed. If you're after a break in gorgeous surroundings and guaranteed sunshine, with nothing but time to relax, this place fits the bill.

The food was amazing. I ordered burgers and musaka, and the cook did a really good job. The bartender and cook were both so nice, and the food was well organized and excellent in quality. Our rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were very welcoming. Lida was especially kind. She and another lady didn't speak English very well, but Lida understood whenever I asked for something for the room and responded to our requests. It was a pleasure staying there. I'd highly recommend discovering this little piece of miracle in Pefkos. I can't wait to return and see these wonderful people again. Well done.

The beds were traditional, with new comfortable mattresses, and the white bed linen and towels were replaced more often than needed during our week. Our kettle and toaster were new, and the shower worked better than the one at home. The pool was peaceful and relaxing, with a nice little bar beside it. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout. We picked Karpathios Studios for our first trip to Greece because we wanted somewhere that felt more Greek than a place that could be anywhere. Some bad reviews had made me nervous, but for us it turned out to be magical. The views are one of a kind, and the simple, creative place clearly has a lot of love put into it. A few things to know: there's a steep hill, some things are weathered or mismatched, which I think adds character, and they only take cash, as do most places around here. Aircon costs €10 a day. We didn't get it and did get mosquito bites, while our grown up kids had it and found it worked amazingly. We only saw ants when we left sweet things out, so that was a nudge to keep tidier. For us, it made our first time in Greece amazing. We're hoping to return and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. I've never left a review before, but this place deserves five stars.
