Location. Vibe. Ease.

The property was in a perfect location next to the hotel that until recently was formerly the Four Seasons. The owner paid for 4 sunbeds for us for 3 days and paid for a welcome meal at the hotel's taverna which looked over the beach. The views from Erato over the sea were stunning. There was a regular ferry service running every half an hour to Hydra Port. The pick up was very close to Erato however we enjoyed walking into Hydra Port most days which took 45mins each way. A great way to get your daily steps in.

The property could do with a frying pan.

Manolis was incredibly kind. He picked us up from the harbor and showed us all the way to the apartment. He made sure we had everything we needed, including some food for breakfast, a nice bottle of wine in the fridge, and several additional amenities that were not included in the offer. I really appreciated his kindness and hospitality. He also checked on us regularly and was always there to help. Whenever something wasn’t working, such as the internet connection, he quickly found a solution. We truly enjoyed having him as our host. The area is beautiful, beach was great and having a beautiful hotel and tavern really close by was a great advantage. Also a walking distance to the harbor was a nice walk, especially at night. I generally liked better staying in this area of the island although I was initially sceptic about the location.

I would have appreciated a few more towels (but also, I didn’t ask), and the water in the in-door shower was not always warm-most of the time, it was cold. But outdoor shower had plenty of warm water always so I couldn’t complain!

Stunning location, only a short walk to a beautiful beach and two excellent restaurants, four if you’re prepared to walk a little further. Chora, the island’s breathtaking “capital” is a 3km walk away, or 10 minutes by sea taxi (€10 Euros for a return ticket).

Nothing.
