Everything was just fantastic. From the warm welcome right to the end of our stay. Nikos was superb and was extremely helpful with all aspects in finding our way around the town. As for the room it was absolutely exceptional. Definitely five stars and there isn't anything I would change about the property. The location is just perfect. We are looking forward to our next sun, sea break and will definitely be booking the same. Thank you Nikos for everything. Cindy
