Well-furnished, if slightly fading, sea-facing apartments are equipped with kitchenettes and are spacious enough to keep an elephant inside – especially the two-storey quadruples intended for families. Excellent breakfasts cost an extra €8 per person, and the owner, Yannis Zorbas, leads undemanding hikes to Volissos castle and adjacent beaches.
