Adroniki is the best host you can ever imagine. The Appartement was spotless. The view from the balcony is amazing. Kalamaki is a quiet place and not overcrowded. The Taverne in the village center is the best place to enjoy the evening.

Rare for me to give a perfect score, but there you go! Androniki is a great host, and the place, had nothing it needed to improve on. . . The bed was comfortable, the location is stunning, the value for money is right there... Will go back again and again.

“Extraordinary ❤️”
Absolutely an amazing place. Extremely clean and comfortable. Studio is very well equipped (+coffee machine) and has everything what you would need. The whole day and night you are listening the sound of waves, which was for my wife and myself really relaxing and like what we needed. The view from the roof is perfect, to drink wine and to follow the sunset is beautiful place (see photo below). On the roof you have tables, chairs, sun-beds, and awning). Everything what you would need is max 5 minutes from apartment (taverna’s, bakery, super market… and the beach is less then 1 minute) :) About owner (Androniki/Andi) and her son, we dont know what to say, absolutely an amazing persons. We have stayed 10 days at their place and they were all the time open to support in the case if we would need something. Wine and olive oil from their family is really tasty and very high quality :) Beach is very beautiful, a lot of place, calm, there is no crowd, on the right side you have natural shade-trees…a lot of nice words about place and especially Andi and her son. They supported us even more then it was necessary. Andi thank you very much for everything, it was really our pleasure to be at your place and to enjoy on our vacation :)
