Having always wanted to stay in a property that is right on the beach, this property was perfect. As you can see from the pictures you literally walk out into the back garden area and on to the beach.
Although we stayed in August and there was a family staying in the villa next door. It felt like we had our own beach and the ocean was our pool.
The beach is shingle and pebbles. With shallow rocky areas as you go into the sea. But it was perfect for snorkeling and there is a whole shallow area of water like your own pool, also you can swim past the rocks and swim further out. It was ideal for us.
You can also walk along the beach to the right and there is a busier area with water sports and less rocks, but you cannot see this from the property so although close by if that's not your thing it's fine.
The villa was exceptionally clean, although a little dated. And the showers where not very powerful. But we found everything was adequate for our stay and waking up to that view and breakfast by the sea was perfect.
It says it sleeps up to 8, I would say 6 comfortably.
Its in a quieter area. Although there are tavernas and beach bars within walking distance and a good selection of food stores. Also the bus stop is 2 minutes along the road and the service was generally reliable and a great way of travelling into Pefkos or Lindos (both well worth a visit, especially Lindos) and other areas.
We decided not to hire a car as we wanted to relax by the sea, but we found that was not a problem at all. If you did hire a car there are many more places on the island to visit.
We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed every minute and although the villa was expensive compared to others for us it was worth it for the location
