Beach houses Yannis at Agios Gordios

A very basic accommodation, which is what we expected. The pics on the websites are of all the different properties, so it’s hard to see which one you’re in. This was the studio apartment. Lovely big patio which looked at the back of the alobar (great place for drinks and food) and had an outdoor shower, which was handy for washing off your feet from the beach. Not a problem with noise from the bar. The location is very quiet and you can actually hear the sea (15 second walk to beach!). Pretty views of the fruit trees towards the mountains from the terrace. It could do with a thick curtain for more privacy on the patio doors, as when the light’s on, everyone can see through the voile curtains. There’s a separate little room with a single bed and a little kitchenette area. A small wardrobe and extra blankets/pillows if needed. Mr Yannis wanders around the garden and the cleaning lady was very friendly. Due to covid restrictions, she wasn’t allowed to enter but left towels outside for us as required. Bathroom is the tiniest I’ve ever seen but this is typical basic and rustic Greek accomm, so don’t expect anything luxurious. It’s in dire need of refurbishment I feel and could be a lovely little place if done up but served its purpose for our visit and at a reasonable price. Plenty of hot water (tiny shower) and WiFi works. You have to walk along the beach boardwalk when you arrive for about 100m and it’s directly behind alobar, so easy to find. Parking is near impossible nearby. We had to park a good 10 min walk away up behind the main road into the village. Great tavernas to eat/drink at and a few supermarkets in the village. The beach is very stony here, so hard to get in/out of the sea but walk a way up the beach and it gets better. The air con sounds like a jet engine, so is extremely noisy if sitting outside. Plus if people are staying in the attached apartment, there’s a racket from their air con too. However, it didn’t seem to stop me sleeping and I’m a very light sleeper! The beds are very hard but that’s a personal preference and these are 2 single beds that can’t be pushed together without leaving a gap. Would recommend as a basic accomm/base for the village and we had a lovely time here.
