Mimis Studios - (Accommodation in Vassilikos)

We have stayed in Vassilikos for the last 3 years and love the place.  We were attracted to the Welsh flag outside the Mimis so have booked it this year.  I'm still not sure of the connection with Wales!

Every evening, having eaten at a local restaurant, we walked here which is on the road leading to the Louis Hotel complex at Mavratsis beach and opposite the Dimitra apartments. We've been doing this for four years now. If you're a football fan, George, the owner and his wife, Toula have all the matches via satellite.  George has a vast collection of football scarves which people from the U.K. and other places have sent him.  George and Toula are very welcoming and extremely friendly.  He speaks fluent English and many of his customers have been returning to his taverna since 2000 when he opened.  We see the same people there at the same time every year!  If you want any information about the island George can supply it and he'll make sure you get the best prices.  They have a beautiful daughter called Chrisanthi who is two years old.  George will often recommend a restaurant and, if you have no transport, he will give you a lift there and back or arrange for the restaurant owner to do it.  We keep in touch with them and some of the regulars all year.  You too can be one of George's People – a very exclusive club open to all!

We spent a day with Eurodivers in September and did a try dive.  A great day out!  All the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. My try dive lasted about 35 minutes and I enjoyed every minute of it.  I was lucky that on my dive that the other person doing a try dive was sea sick so I was able to do my dive with Richard on my own.
