We have just returned from 2 weeks self catering at Ideal, a last minute decision following our planned holiday being cancelled thanks to Covid. We arrived fairly late at night but were welcomed by Maria and her family - husband and 3 sons who all work (extremely hard) within the business. The apartments were basic but very clean with service every other day. Kitchenette is again basic but good fridge with small freezer compartment. Ideal is quiet with an nice pool area, 5 minute walk to a lovely beach. The road-front taverna attached to the apartments is a massive bonus, Giorgios, Panda and Manos are attentive, the service is personalised and Maria’s cooking is divine. The choice of authentic Greek food or wood-fired pizza/pasta/burgers will suit everyone. Maria’s Kleftico is the best I’ve tasted. That people return to Ideal year after year (some since 1986 when they began) is testament to the homely, welcoming atmosphere there which I think they have got absolutely right. This place is a rare gem which absolutely exceeded my expectations and which I thoroughly recommend.

We have just returned from a wonderful week at Ideal Apartments. It’s run by a lovely family and in a great location just 5 mins from a beautiful sandy blue flag beach. Our apartment had a lovely view from the balcony of the mountain behind the town, and was set right back well behind the pool. The grounds are beautiful and well kept and the pool is lovely, our room was cleaned regularly and all the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed (for example offering a cot for our toddler which we hadn’t requested but made life so much easier!). The taverna at the front is a great bonus that serves lovely food all day. It’s also right opposite a lovely patisserie as well as lots of other great restaurants in Kokkini Hani. You’ll see some reviews on here that mention plane noise but that’s Kokkini Hani - it’s close to the airport and the same could be said for all the hotels in this area. I didn’t find it that bad and I complain about the traffic where I live at home all the time! There are also some that mention the kitchen and it is basic if you wanted to cook (we didn’t!), but I’d say the same as every other apartment I’ve experienced in Greece at a similar price point. There’s plenty to make coffee and cereal which was perfect for us! If you want a relaxed sunny holiday in a welcoming and convenient location don’t doubt and book today. We will be going back!
