We had a lovely relaxing week at Aphea village. The apartment was clean but basic. It had everything we needed. Yes the furniture is a little rickety but who lets a hard to close draw or an old wardrobe ruin a holiday? Beds are super comfy, in fact I slept better here than I do at home. The restaurant and pool area are wonderful. Such a beautiful space with fantastic views and lovely friendly owners. The food is delicious and the cocktails & juice are all made fresh to order with fresh fruit. The pretty beach is around a 7 min walk. There are 5 or 6 tavernas on the beach. And the small village with a few shops & supermarket is about the same distance the other way. I would recommend a car as there is not alot to do in the area but I did see lots of busses so that would be an option too. Nikolas the hotel manager was very helpful and arranged an automatic car hire very last minute and we really appreciated the very late check out as we have an evening flight home tonight. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Fabulous holiday. The accommodation is basic and a little dated but we knew that so no issues there. There is air conditioning and a safe included in the price. There are steps to the apartments which may be an issue if your mobility is limited and as you come out of the apartments to the left is a gentle hill down to the sea and to the right a more steep hill down to the village connected by a straight flat walk where you will find a supermarket, cafes and tavernas, a nice loop. A beautiful pool area with loungers, a lovely bar serving drinks, cocktails, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The bar is run by Kostas and Ioanna and is separate from the apartments. They were lovely and super helpful. We arrived at 2 am and keys were left for us stuck to the reception door with a map! No issue really. We were not flying home until midnight and could not get a late checkout but we checked out at 11 am, enjoyed the pool until 5 pm then used the shower facilities and enjoyed drinks and food at the bar until our pick up, very relaxed. There is a nice restaurant opposite the apartments if you don't want to walk down to the village or eat in Apheas. There are plenty of tavernas down by the beach and harbour. This was an "extra" holiday for us this year on a budget and turned out to be one of the nicest holidays we have had. Beautiful weather, a quiet resort, lovely food and drink. Just two criticisms and these are absolutely nothing to do with the accommodation and that is it is a 2 hour transfer from the airport and the flights all seem to be very late at night.
