Exceptional stay in beautiful seaside apartment!

We arrived on an early flight from Amsterdam, initially thinking we would have to spend a couple of hours sightseeing with our luggage in tow till 3pm check in, but to our joy and amazement our host, Akis, was waiting for us at the airport to accompany us to the apartment. The apartment was bright and airy, with amazing seaviews from the various balconies... The bedrooms were spacious and spotlessly, as were the lounge, the kitchen and the bathroom.. Another very lovely detail was the generous welcome pack; there was wine, water and juice cooling in the fridge, as well an assortment of biscuits, crackers, honey, peanut butter, Nespresso coffee pads etc., very thoughtful and welcome indeed! Thank you again.. The apartment also boasted a washing machine, plus a selection of toiletries. Another pleasant surprise was a full service clean and towel change halfway through our stay. All in all, we had a great stay in a great apartment; thank you very much for your kindness.. Best wishes, John, Jozina and Jolanda, the Netherlands..

Perfect stay

Stunning new property on an exclusive development. Design and decor amazing. Super clean with cleaners and pool guy coming every day. Hosts couldn’t do enough so friendly and helpful. Location fantastic within 2 mins of restaurants and shops but not noisy or too busy. Airport a short taxi ride away. Fantastic accommodation, highly recommended

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.

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 :)
