Two Brothers Studios - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Rachel H           

Just arrived home and had to add comments. We were in Apartment 64, on arrival there was a fan and 12 bottles of water, for hire/purchase - what a good idea - would recommend the fan and then evening temperatures fine. We overlooked the pool and looked out high on the mountains beyond. Yes the kitchen facilities are basic but fine for breakfast etc - basic but lovely furniture etc. Yes showering becomes an art, but that is the same all over Greece - part of the magic! We took extra loo roll - be prepared. Bins were emptied daily - beds tidied and towels/beds changed once in our week, everything very clean - especially the pool, which was looked after very well. General noise - no problem, we were there during a religious festival and the Greek Orthadox singing/chanting did go on, but part of the local flavour!! Their party the next night also went on into the early hours but that was our only disturbed night. Planes no problem at all, but interesting to see them go off! Sun beds, plenty, though people did get up early to put towels on beds, but what a shame to stay round the pool all day - go to the wonderful beaches!!! Hints - we did take tea towel, dishcloth, tea, coffee and cereal just to get us going. We had a mosqito mat, bought in Cyprus, though you can get them at the airport, and from the local supermarket bought mosquito coils, we put one on the balcony each evening and left it to burn out during the night, this meant we could leave balcony doors open all night without fear of being bitten! Yes the beaches are a bit of a walk 15 mins - turn right out of the Two Brothers, to end of little road - turn right at top along main road - turn left opposite Hotel Vanessa, roadway and track - at end turn left follow road to beach. It is lovely - plenty of sunbeds but not busy. Beautiful clean clear water, clean beach, lovely views - do walk up to Stani Restaurant for lunch/drinks, overlooks bay. Do, do see the island - we had a boat trip and hired a car, from Eurocar (we did have a breakdown, at the top of the island on a Sunday, in an hour we had a new car!! - better service than the UK). Finally everyone is very helpful, friendly, the restaurants are brilliant and cheap - but do eat and drink Greek - Mythos beer is great. Have a brilliant holiday.

Had a white one from Euro car when we had a breakdown - but it was awful to drive - looks nice is all you can really say about it!

We were so pleased to find Escape on our first evening and went back lots of times - usually ate Greek, Kleftico etc. Everyone so friendly, we liked the setting, away from the main street - prices good - what more could you ask for?!!!
