Galini & Serena Apartments

Das Haus hat ein historisches Ambiente. Die Inneneinrichtung ist zwar einfach aber geschmackvoll. Schön ist auch der kleine Außenbereich. Hier konnten wir die Tage in Ruhe ausklingen lassen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

The owner contacted me some days before arrival and explained that there will be transfer from ship to the apartments. Transfer driver was helpful. Met him few times in city during my stay. The house is located in the middle way of high steps which goes as a street in city. It took me 5 min to get down to the harbor and around 15 min back to house ;) Beautiful view to the harbor side when you are climbing on steps. The house is super authentic and at the same time stylish! Kitchen very basic but possible to cook. The sink is a stylish antique creation that is a museum exhibit worth seeing! Much space in the house. Safe, quiet area (in may), many cats walking around. Good internet. Much restaurants at harbor. Easy to leave keys during check out.

Water lost during day for 15 minutes while person was in a shower.

This is a classic Symiot merchant’s house just off the kali strata. It’s exactly halfway between yialo/the harbour and chorio/the village meaning it’s perfectly located for both. The house is simply furnished, but this allows you to appreciate the architecture, the space, the view, etc. We loved it and were very comfortable. We had a few meals/all drinks/coffee on our balcony. The kitchen is basic, but useful for fry-ups (we found the best mushrooms and herbs in the market), omelette, French toast etc, when we wanted a break from eating out. and breakfasts (yoghurt, fruit, muesli, etc). The beds were really comfortable and we enjoyed the space - by Greek standards, this is very spacious living with high ceilings etc. and aircon/heating in bedrooms was excellent.

Nothing really. One of the toilets doesn’t have a door! Plus, there are steps (normal in Symi) and we - in our 60s - found it very accessible.

De ruime kamers en de authentieke sfeer

De ligging bij een luidruchtige school. De hoogte van de lokatie. Lange trap. 200 treden van haven naar appartement. Kamer van slaapkamer sloot niet. Gebrek aan spullen. 1 rolletje wc papier is wat weinig. Zeer slecht ontvangst met geen enkele toelichting op het gebruik van het huis. Geen hulp bij vertrek.
