Brilliant Stay

What a wonderful place this is, the views are stunning and Denise and Paul are lovely and very helpful....nothing is too much trouble. They are on hand if you need them with plenty of information to help with your holiday. The cottage is just as you see it in the photos, and it is well kitted out. Highly recommend staying here and location is perfect for exploring the island. Pete & Greta

Your lovely balcony with great sea view at Makris Gialos bay

Perfect relaxation

The apartments are absolutely perfect, even better than the photos. Everything inside and out is immaculately clean and well-kept, the kitchen is really well equipped and the views are just stunning. Ivana couldn't have been more helpful, arranging a taxi for us from the airport and explaining to them that we would need to stop at a supermarket on the way to stock up as we didn't hire a car. We did a bigger shop on the way from the airport however there is a mini-market a few minutes walk from the apartments which stocks all the basics. Makris Gialos is a lovely, clean and sunny beach but there are also several other smaller beaches within easy walk of the apartments which are well worth a visit. The location is quiet and peaceful but there are still 4 restaurants and 2 cafe bars within a few minutes walk. We can highly recommend Ivana and Dionysios' restaurant next door which ticks all the boxes of being beautiful, fantastic food and service and also the cheapest. We ate there numerous times during our stay and the food (and their own wine) was always excellent. In all we had a wonderfully relaxing break which was exactly what we needed. If you want somewhere away from the bustling resorts but still with places to eat and drink, and fantastic views and beaches, you can't go wrong here. Thank you Ivana and Dionysios for your great hospitality.

Amazing Villa!

The villa is spacious and clean with everything you need. We were two families of 5 so the way the villa is separated into two separate floors was perfect for us. The kids loved the pool and would be in it until bedtime most nights! The owners were on hand to help with anything and were such lovely people, nothing was too much for them. I would recommend hiring a car if you plan on going out and about as it's too far to walk to the nearest towns of Laganas or Kalamaki. I would definitely come back here and highly recommend it to anyone!

Wonderful property in a beautiful location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Yiameli Villas. The property is new, well equipped, very clean and well maintained. Our stay included house cleaning, and pool cleaning, which was very much appreciated. The grounds are stunning, the views are gorgeous, and the pool was a nice touch for the kids. There is also plenty of outdoor space for the children to stretch their legs, as well as a BBQ, dining area, and lounging area, all of which have a lovely view of Mikro Nisi (island) and the sea. The area was our favourite part of the island, its very peaceful and picturesque. There are beaches within walking distance of the property, however a car is needed to get to local places. There are some lovely restaurants in the area, such as El Sueno and The Old Windmill. Katerina the owner is lovely, she welcomed us and could not do more for us. Its such a nice thing to meet the owner and have that personal touch. We will definitely be returning to Yiameli Villas :)
