Olivia Sports and Sea — Hotel in Almyros Municipality

For nearly €300 a night for a two bedroom villa with a private pool you get 2 rolls of see through toilet paper ; 1 bottle of dishwashing liquid, small sponge and a brush- that pretty much sums it up. Upon enquiring about possible bathroom amenities such as shampoo, shower gel etc., their response was “…|Regarding the handsoap and toiletries - we can’t provide them legally, since our complex is a short term rent of houses, but not a hotel.|!”|Your room gets cleaned every 3 days which is not the best, especially if you have brought your pet along like we did- which was the main reason we chose the place.|The villa is supposed to accommodate up to 4 people, however, it only has one key, even the housekeeping didnt have a spare- instead we had to leave the terrace door open when leaving so they can do their job- just an inconvenience|One bedroom is underground, the other one on the second floor- tends to get quite hot during the day and your only chance for a good night sleep is to have the AC on- the AC being in that very same room , which rather on the smaller size, so again- not ideal.|The wifi connection is yet another thing that was lacking - the signal was quite poor, to the point where there was none in the underground bedroom.|THE BUGS, no I do not mean the mosquitoes which are not that bad at all- I am talking about all of the other creeping and crawling creatures that seemed everywhere- spiders, small and not so small ants, beetles of various sizes, praying mantes and the worst of all huge centipedes- one of which had crawled into my 4-year old’s bed in the middle of the night and bitten her twice! - nearly 3 weeks later we are STILL dealing with the consequences from that bite!|A piece of advice- if you are planning on visiting I suggest you enquire about a front villa as If you are “lucky” enough to be situated in one of the inner villas you are in for a treat, especially if you are with a small child, carrying a bunch of floaties and all sorts of other accessories- going for a mini hike, while carrying all sorts of stuff post beach is not a pleasant feeling - silver lining is you are likely to get your cardio in if you do this 3-4 times a day.|Bear also in mind that the place is really isolated- there are probably 2 max 3 places you could sit down to eat- and the nearest sign of civilization i.e. supermarket etc. is about 4 kms. away.|Another thing worth noting, if you are planning to take advantage of the breakfast option- it starts at 09:00 , so by the time you are done it is quite likely there aren’t any sunbeds left available- as not only is the shoreline small but reserving a place by simply tossing a towel over it and then disappearing off somewhere - sometimes for hours, seems customary.|In conclusion if you are okay with being in a highly isolated area with close to nothing to do and are inclined to cooking, if you are not too particular about room tidying and you would like to bring your furry friend along, this might be the right place for you.

If i could i would give it a million, not 5 stars. If you are looking for a peacefull, beautifull vecation, this is the place for you. We went in September with two toddlers, and had a great time. The villa is super clean and comfty. Every third day, ladies come to clean and you could literally eat from the floor how clean it is. If you book a villa with a private poll they come every second day to check the ph of the water, and the cleaning ladies clean it also. They offer clean towels for both room and pool/sea usage. Kitchen is well equiped and you also have a humidifier in the downstairs rooms and a washing machine. You even have a small shower entering the villa so you can wash of the sand. At your desposal at the beach you have a floating playgroud for the kids, sup boards, kajak, bikes, and some other aquatic equipment. If you incloode breakfast(and i truly recommend you do), you will meat two great ladies Despina and Ksenia how prepare the food. Each morning you get a la carte breakfast at the spot, everything fresh and tasty as a five star restaurant. The beach is also great it isn't the part of the complex, super clean water, but sunbeds are free at the caffe if you order anything, even only some drinks. The nearest store and pharmacy are about 15 min by car, but if you plan your purchases you can go only a few times. Also pet friendy, our dog loved the beach. Everything and everyone was great! We traveled with a twoyearold and a threeyearold and it is also kid friendly. We will surely come back! P.S. Despina...
