Outstanding apartments with extremely friendly and helpful staff who truly went the extra mile for us. Apartments were spotless and spacious with a great patio area for sitting outside in the evening. Loved this holiday so much that we are planning on returning.

Staff were great. We had a 2 bedroom apartment. The room was clean but very dated. Single beds. Limited storage. Kitchen area was very hard to work with. No real balcony or view. Loads of beds around the pool area so no early morning stress. Very cold pool in the middle of August. Little walk to places but manageable

The pool area and reception isn’t the biggest but it is very safe tidy and clean. I am here with my parents and two children and we have a 2 bedroom apartment which is very spacious and has a lovely size balcony I like that the pool area isn’t always too full and the food around the pool is beautiful so worth the money I would definitely come back the staff are friendly and attentive when there is...

My first time in Greece and I can honestly say I have loved every second of it, a massive factor would be how amazing Ourania apartments are, the staff are the nicest accommodation staff I have ever come across. They were so friendly and service was spectacular. We booked one of the premium rooms and couldn’t fault it. This hotel is just a 10 minute walk away from the beach and endless amazing bar...
