Atlas By Sea Apartment

I chose this place because the listing said there was parking. To me, that means I should be able to return with my car and find a spot. Here, though, I waited in the car for as long as two hours for someone to leave. The owners said there was also an asphalt lot and a dirt area reached by a mule track, which I drove on despite having a car worth over €80,000. But those spaces were only available if there happened to be room, and during my 10-day stay I had to wait for parking at least five or six times. The apartment was already cramped for two adults and two children. It was meant to be a studio, but a plasterboard wall had been added between the living and sleeping areas, open at the top, so there was no real privacy. The bathroom was tiny too. Outside, the buildings reminded me of the famous "sails" of Scampia and were in similarly poor condition. There was dirt everywhere and cockroaches running around. The property is far from everything, so a car is essential, which makes the parking problem even more frustrating. At €915 for 10 nights, I don't think the price is acceptable for what you get. I'd go to North Macedonia instead. I've stayed in five-star hotels there for €80 a night with stratospheric luxury, rather than this degradation in Greece, specifically the Atlantico Apartment in Loutraki. Update 08/17/2024: After I posted my review, which is true and can be checked against my photos, the owners contacted me asking me to delete it. They told me I couldn't find anything better for the €915 I paid for 10 days, and that if I didn't like it I could stay in a five-star hotel, but not for that price. That implied my choice was about money, when my reasons were logistical and personal. They were very kind in their messages until I wrote something that reflected what I experienced at the place they rent. I have photos and screenshots of our conversations to support what I wrote. Don't be taken in by "golden" words and descriptions. Look for people who can back up what they say. Update 08/20/2024: The owner replied to my Booking.com review with threats of defamation. She also seemed jealous that I had a car worth over €80,000, saying that with a car like that I shouldn't have booked her apartment for €91,000 euros per night, but should have stayed in a five-star hotel. She says there are plenty there, though looking at the kind of hotels in Loutraki makes me think she doesn't know what a five-star hotel is, or what that means for her apartment. She also accused me of leaving the towels in terrible condition. I used them after showering, and if they were dirty, that says her house is dirty too. In short, I hope this review helps other people avoid the nightmare I had. I'll keep updating it if I get more messages from the owner. She seems very kind, but only on the surface. If you have a problem or dare to write a deserved negative review, she shows her true nature.

It worked great for our family and was fully equipped. Just don't leave the booking until the last minute. There's no reception, so you need to arrange it at least a day ahead and contact someone in Corinth to come to Loutraki with the keys.

The living room is roomy, but the bedrooms and bathrooms are small. The view was nice, and the price was economical, with plenty of kitchen utensils. Sadly, the outdoor area felt scary, neglected and dirty, and it would be difficult for anyone with mobility problems.

Lovely, genuine and absolutely spotless. Mrs. Despina helped us with everything we needed 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
