Incredible hospitality at Alexandra house at Geoponika Beach
We spent 2 weeks at Penelope's and Konstantino's property at Nea Propondida/Geoponika beach in the Alexandra apartment. Before coming, I have had numerous inquiries and Penelope was simply incredible in researching events for us, providing recommendations, providing information about anything I asked. The place is ideal for families who want to get away from main tourist conglomerations - it is peaceful, accessible, close to small towns with necessary infrastructure. Big supermarket Liedl is 5 minutes away by car, but Nea Kallikratea is a nearby (2 miles) town bustling with local shops, restaurants, and other necessities. Right next to the apartment complex is a hotel which offers fantastic services for lunch, dinner - we hung out there quite a bit as well because of food quality and cordiality of staff. The apartment is impeccably clean, full of light, there are showers outside to get your beach sand off - there is a small meditation garden in the back; there is greenery and shrubs like lavender all perfectly watered and maintained. Owners, Konstantino and Penelope are around most of the time and we tremendously enjoyed conversations about Greece, world, and social contact. Water at Geoponika is crystal clear - there were days when current brought in seagrass, but it would clear up by mornings. The beach is clean - little pebbly when you enter so it helps to have beach shoes, but that part of the beach has a shallow area that goes way into the Aegean sea - so for quite a distance adults have very sandy and clear bottom under their feet - it is truly wonderful. Along he beach there are some bars and palapas with chairs - we did not use those because the apartment had beach chairs and everything we needed, but many young people were congregating there - at night things were very quiet and peaceful. Most people come on weekend as they tend to be local - during the week the beach was half empty yet lively. We were a mix of adults and a teenager - he found fishing spots and enjoyed that as well. You can buy a fishing rod in New Kalikratea. Thessaloniki is 35 minutes away by car but we only went there once - it is hard to park there on the sea strip, but Alexander the Great monument, the Tower, and the boardwalk are worth seeing. Finally, on a clear day from Geoponika you can see Mt Olympus. It is a lovely place, but the most wonderful are the people who run it - thank you for making our long awaited family reunion such a trea
