Ikaria Studios

Our stay at Ikariastudios was absolutely wonderful. The absolute highlight of our time there was the owner, Alexos. His genuine warmth, exceptional friendliness, and constant availability made us feel instantly at home. He is the perfect host and truly embodies the welcoming spirit of the island. The studio features a magnificent terrace that offers a breathtaking, sweeping view of the sea, where you can also admire a splendid sunrise. Waking up to that scenery and spending quiet moments out there was pure magic. Beyond the accommodation itself, Manganitis is a true hidden gem. The village has an incredible, authentic, and almost "suspended in time" atmosphere that is so rare to find nowadays. The local residents are incredibly welcoming, adding a wonderful layer of charm to the everyday life of the town. The location is also perfect for exploring, placing you beautifully close to some of the most stunning waters on the island, including the famous Seychelles Beach and the lovely Firodi. If you are looking for a genuine, peaceful, and unforgettable Greek getaway, I cannot recommend this place enough.

Alekos is very friendly. He helped me whenever I needed something and he took me to Seychelles Beach on his small boat. I felt very comfortable in the room, the kitchen is fully equipped. Beautiful studios with a nice ocean view. Alekos can tell you a lot about ikaria and the surroundings. The studios also offer fishing and snorkelling gear, a pizza oven, outdoor grill, tools. So even when Magganitis is a bit calm there’s lots to do if you feel like it. Thank you!

Great location in the idyllic town of Magganitis. Alekos was a wonderful host, and the entire group staying at Ikaria Studios was fun to hang out with. There is cooking equipment, and Alekos even made a fish soup for us. When I return to Ikaria (I hope soon!) I will stay here again.

The town has some hornets.

It's ok for a short stay. Location is good in terms of being next to the popular beach of Seychelles, but it's quite far from anything else.

The rooms are old and didn't seem very clean. There is no much privacy also as the windows are facing the common yard and all rooms (around 8) are in the same building with the same entrance.
