Fedra Apartments Hersonissos

“Really, really nice staff, clean, very close to the beach, modern; what more do you want”

So. myself and 2 of my friends have just returned from 10 days in Hersonissos, a bit of an older lads holiday; mid to late 30s.

So. myself and 2 of my friends have just returned from 10 days in Hersonissos, a bit of an older lads holiday; mid to late 30s. We wanted somewhere near enough to the beach front, the bars, restaurants, marina etc but just very slightly out so we could basically pick and choose what we wanted to do. We arrived at the apartments around 11pm and met the receptionist Cornelia who checked us in and advised us where we could get something to eat at that hour before we went out for a few drinks. (Valentinos which is a bakery/greek grill house. Very nice and also well priced and what we wanted at that time of night.) The previous tenants of the room had caused a bit of damage to the television and lost the safe key prior to us checking in. (Not reflective of any other persons we saw staying in the apartments; these things happen I'm afraid). We werent bothered about the TV, but the safe was an issue. Anyway we got back and the key was found and we could store valuables in the safe so no problems there. We came down the next day asking for some advice on the local area, the staff were very very helpful. They advised we tried old Hersonissos of an evening to visit some more traditional Tavernas which we did on most nights following. The foods much better than on the front in general and the atmospheres great. Taxi is a must; the hill up to it is a good trek and would probably take about 40mins and coming down after copius meat, Mythos and Raki probably not advised. Its about 7 euros; nothing. So anyway, one major factor of this very good review; I mentioned earlier the staff. Apart from being incedibly helpful in general, Cornelia, who was the front of house, who we mainly spoke with, was amazing. It was my birthday when we were over there and this was mentioned in passing. A knock on the door later that night and a scurrying of feet. We open the door to find a box and a letter. "Happy birthday, with love, Cornelia." (A boxed chocolate birthday cake from Valentino's bakery as it transpires - it was amazing). I have no doubt this was bought out of her own pocket. Such a lovely and unexpected touch which made the holiday experience so much better. There was no need for anyone to do such a thing, we were merely paying guests and the staff were already incredibly helpful and friendly and would provide whatever needs in keeping with a the requirements of an apartment stay without ask. So, as the next day was my birthday, we went out for the day and celebrated. The cake was left the night before so upon return went to the fridge, brought it down and shared it with Cornelia and other holiday makers staying at the apartments. Happy birthdays were sung and Metaxa was drunk. Brilliant. On another side nte; check out was the follwing day. Normal check out is 12; we were allowed until 3pm with no additional charge. Bags were safely stored for us until the taxi picked us up from the front of the block at 6 and 10. Brilliant, would defintely retun to the island and Hersonissos and stay at Fedra again. kólla pénte.

“Clean, cozy and excellent”

We loved to stay here! The place was clean, the hosts were amazing and gave us excellent recommendations to eat, visit, etc. Very close to the beach, car rentals and to great restaurants and bars. Definitely, recommend this place to stay.
