Michalakis Seaside Suites

This property is at the end of the road outside the 'downtown' of Pollonia, less than a very easy and flat 10 minute walk to all of the restaurants and the beach nearby. We had the largest suite, with a big patio area. Below us was a waterfront place and above us a smaller unit (that our friends were in). We overlook a small boat mooring area, on the less windy side of the peninsula. You could get in the water there, but it is rocky, so its useful to cool off but not a 'beach'. We did jump in several times though. Booking through the travel agent was easy, but they were slow in responding to info requests after booking. The owner of the property uses the travel agency for all communications, as she and her husband are 'locals' who live on property and don't do the internet themselves. Theresa speaks enough english, is the owner and keeps impeccable care of the property, promptly cleaning each day at 11am, knowing our schedule had us out of the unit then. The unit has a separate bedroom, a great bathroom and a small kitchenette with stove and refer, as well as a nice coffeemaker. They stock the fridge with fruits, cheese and ham, bottled water and juice, and even have a few bottles of private made wine for you too. Also have some white sliced bread and a panini maker for a quick morning bite. The pride they have in the property shows. Another review was negative about the neighbors. We found them to be a normal island generational local family--- they weren't bothersome--and we got to know them through our 5 day stay. This is a very local property--as most are there--owned by locals. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
