Total Relaxation by the Sea
Everything you needed for a totally relaxing holiday in the warm sun, peaceful gardens and with warm sea just 100m from the apartment.
Arrived earlier than expected and was welcomed by Georgios and Irini.
G then made sure the curtains were opened before we entered the appt so that we got the full view of the sea as we walked in. Wow, the view is the same as the pictures and is wonderful as you are now here!
The apartments all have about 5-7 steps up to the front and back but this meant you were higher up and had a lovely view from the lower appts. The apartment was clean, nicely decorated and the beds comfortable. The kitchen area was adequate but would benefit from a toaster, microwave & more cutlery. We opted to pay extra for the aircon as the 1st night was too warm.
As early Sept, there were only about 4 couples there but even if was fully booked there is plenty of space and sun beds for all and 2 kayaks.
The gardens are so peaceful and relaxing. We saw some lovely sunrises and swam several times each day. The beach is virtually not there as was washed away after a storm a few years ago but there is enough to safely enter the water and there is a wooden walkway with steps. It’s a long wade through knee/thigh depth water to get to the deeper water but was fun in the sun.
Just north of Kavos, it’s 15-20 mins walk away from the noise & action. The pavements are poor or non existent and would be difficult for buggies and mobility scooters etc
We just went there to book and go on the boat trips. We did Theo’s boat BarBQ and the food was great and enjoyed the boat & swimming stops. The next trip was Kavos Cruises, managed to sit outside so we had a great view of the caves but some seats had poor view. The best swim stop was at Antipaxos. Lots of fishes to swim with there and sea and sand beautiful colours.
There is a small supermarket just down the road from Irini Studios and the “Seaside” bus stop is there for the “Green bus” service for Corfu town . There was also a nice pool bar there with several tasty menu options.
This type of holiday was perfect for us with the accommodation right next to the sea.
We’d like to say a big thank you to our wonderful hosts Georgios and Irini. (Sorry we missed saying goodbye in person - the Hoppa departure time was earlier than we’d expected)
We had an amazing time and hope to stay again sometime.
If you like peace and relaxation being in or beside the sea then this is a wonderful place to go.
