Excellent Apartments
This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Despina. The rooms are basic and clean; the pool area is good and the bar is continually packed out in the evening due to the excellent work done by the 3 brothers who own this establishment. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are always friendly and helpful. There are plenty of restaurants close by and the beach is a 2 min walk away so therefore a great location.I must also mention the brilliant bakery that is 200 yards away from these apartment...superb pastries,doughnuts and breads.

Super gastvrije eigenaren en denken met je mee. Aanrader is om een auto te huren, zo kan je veel van het eiland zien. Verwacht geen luxe kamer, maar alles was aanwezig en het was schoon. Vooral de gastvrijheid was erg fijn.

Beau séjour en famille
Beau séjour de 4 jours dans un appartement spacieux avec une superbe vue de notre grand balcon plage à 2 min de marche le seul bémol est qu’il est inscrit climatisation inclus mais arrivé sur place on doit payer 7€ par jour et il n’y a pas de moustiquaire dans la porte alors on s’est faits dévoré par les mousitique
