Aeolos Apartments

This well-liked accommodation has glorious views, especially from its lovely swimming pool area, and peaceful country surroundings.

A little up the hill behind Almirida, it is 500m (6-7 minutes walk) down to the village and beach. The road back up is a steady gradient - steeper for the final 40m - so unsuited to anyone with walking difficulties without car hire. There are five 1-bedroom apartments here, modern with good quality fixtures and fittings. Interior decor is in attractive cool shades which, together with the marble floors, gives a light airy feel.

Each apartment comprises a small twin bedroom, a spacious living room containing a full sized sofa-bed and a corner kitchenette (mini-oven and rings), and a tiled shower room. All apartments have air-conditioning, free wifi, safety deposit box (€5 per week), a hairdryer, an iron and board, and a spacious front balcony with extensive views over the countryside and Almirida to the sea and the Akrotiri peninsula opposite.

There is also a ground floor studio, open plan and double-bedded with the same facilities except for the kitchen which has cooking rings and a microwave oven in place of a mini-oven.

The reception area below has a library of holiday reading and there is a communal washing machine (€3 per wash). The swimming pool measures a generous 80 sq.m., has walk-in steps and a children’s section and is furnished with sun loungers and umbrellas.

The Aeolos combines quiet rural surroundings and super views with good standards and tavernas/beach not far away. A torch is recommended for late night returns as the final part of the access road is not well lit.

Air-conditioning: Available if required at a local charge of €5 per day.
