Argiris Studios

I have no words for how incredible our stay was at argiris studios, from even before we arrived the owner, Tasos was in contact to check arrangements and help us. Upon arrival Tasos was so welcoming, so helpful and just such a lovely man. The hotel itself is so clean, so bright and it's literally a 30 second walk to Kamari beach. You have everything you need around you, it's perfect. The hotel room was beautiful, modern, so clean, air con, brilliant WiFi, lovely bed, soft towels, a lovely bathroom, a kitchenette area, all the necessities you need such as kettle, iron, hairdryer etc. And a wonderful balcony. There is a lovely coffee machine free to use in the reception area, tea, books to pick from, and every day there is a wonderful freshly baked treat which was delicious and some other snacks. Our room was cleaned nearly every day to a perfect standard and we just couldn't have asked for anything more. There is nothing I could have said needed improving, Tasos and his family truly are the best and he really cares about his guests, it has a personal feel to it that you dont get from larger hotels. If you are thinking of booking here for your stay, do it, you won't regret it. A few tips and pointers, try captains corner restaurant, santo athiri and Almira restaurant on the beach, the Ekritiros cretan bakery ( so amazing and the best cappuccino freddo and croissants), for travelling around the island, you can rent a car for around €40 a day and go everywhere,  you can get a quad but they aren't insured and can be dangerous, or you can get the bus about 10 min walk from thr hotel ( behind the garages near the football stadium) buses come frequently and they cost €2, take the bus to Fira and you can get to Oia and other places from the same bus station,  it's very easy and quick.
