just back from staying at Dionysis Apartments and had a great time.

rooms are very basic - shower really good, hot water all the time and shower curtain to the floor!!!
 
location is excellant - 10mins to kalamaki beach and 2mins to start of bars and restaurants.
 
pool area is great - plenty sunbeds and snacks served until 7pm. ate breakfast and lunch every day for the week we were here. really good prices. met other people staying at various hotels who came here for the breakfast - they were that good!!
 
the three brothers who own these apartments were brillant, what a laugh - esp yannis. we would sit in the bar for a few drinks at nite before going out and had such a laugh (scorpian bar). really made our holiday.
 
thinking of going back in sept, and would defo book these apartments again.
 
kalamaki was quiet in may but found the rose and crown bar to be the best atmosphere and dias restaurant was delicious reasonably priced food - well worth trying.
 
anyone staying at these apartments can you look out for charlie the cat - pure white long haired. i miss him already!! feel so sorry for them but yannis promised to look after him for me!!
 
say hi to the brothers from Donna & Linda from scotland

i have just came back from kalamaki and only seen the caretta bay hotel while out for a walk but it looked beautiful.

pool area was all i seen but if the rest of the hotel is on a par you will love it.

The hotel is in a good location, maybe 5 mins to start of bars and restaurants and prob bout 15mins to Kalamaki beach.

 
Its located on the road to Laganas so its at the other end from 'old' kalamaki strip.
 
From wot i remember theres not that much round about it so would b quiet at nite and when round the pool.
 
Maybe when you arrive you will think its a bit rural but its ok once you get your bearings.
 
It caught my eye because it looked so nice and clean.

Hi

Yes there was a fridge but not sure about kettle and defo no hairdryer.
 
Self catering facilities here are VERY VERY basic, hopefully your not looking to cook.
 
More of a basic, clean enough room for sleeping.

everyone has their own opinon. but so felt the opposite re the  brothers - so friendly, helpful, could not fault them in any way!!
 
infact they made me and my mates holiday, would defo return - 100%!!!
 
ps when we paid for the safety deposit boxes, we were never told about deposit and money on return. that was the price for one week, nothing back at the end of hol.
 
yes, the studios were very basic, had much worse in greece tho!!
