Πανσιόν Καρβουνόσκαλα (Pension Karvounoskala) — Hotel in Aristotle Municipality

I found this pension on a website. The road was easy until here being about 160 km from the customs with Bulgaria (Kulata). The pension is quite old but clean and spacious, the owner investing in new furniture. Parking spaces in the backyard for 10 cars. Sea view all rooms.|I received the room when I arrived at 13.00.|Being 4 in the room I had a room with 2 single beds and a double bed. Linen and towels changed every 4 days we stayed 8 days. The room also had a hall in which was found a refrigerator with freezer, and kitchenette (see pictures). Balcony with table and 3 chairs from where you can see the sea perfectly among the 5 huge palm trees (I called them bearded). The bathroom is quite small but enough for what you need, and clean. The pension does not have sunbeds for the beach but I don't think we would have stayed there anyway.|It does not offer food and in the area I do not recommend anyone to eat. We spent a night here in Stratoni a tavern and it was very disappointing. We chose to eat in the Stavros area (more options) and in the Ierissos area (and many options here).|We were on the beach in Nikiti, Stavros, Legend, Manassu, Stratoni. I chose these beaches because they have a smooth entry into the water and you have sunbeds against free consumption and you have something to eat (fast food) at most, the taverns being further from the beaches but it can be found if you walk a little.|A total silence in the area, all night you hear only the...

Pension Karvounoskala is located outside small Greek village Stratoni in the bay of Ierissos. A quiet small place with a great view. Spacious rooms with a sea view, separated kitchenette, and big balcony. Clean and well-maintained, with a garden and barbecue, and a sandy beach literally in front of it. Private parking available. Visitors are not allowed, except on the beach.|Service and staff are helpful and friendly, but I have some objections about the attitude of the owner sometimes, there's always a way to stay friendly with your guests and explain rules nicely. |Rooms are cleaned every four days, also changing of linen and towels provided as well. You can cook your own meals, or go out to the village to eat (bakery, markets and restaurants).|The beach is public one, so no one takes care of it, but it's not crowded and it's ideal for families with small children. The sea is clean with sandy bottom, though waves can bring a lot of rocks. ||It was good place to rest well and relax, to have some good sleep away from the city noise, and this is definitely something for people who want a quiet holiday. If you want to go out there are some villages nearby, Stratoni in the first place, then Olympiada and Stavros on the north, Ierissos on the south. There are markets, taverns and restaurants of everyone's liking,...

We had great time in the last week of June. Room is ok, cleaning is daily, beach is pretty clean and baby friendly. Few comments though : ||- Bring your own umbrellas and sun-beds, even though in description they say they offer. They don't. ||- Don't leave things on the beach even if it seems secured, our umbrella was stolen, another one destroyed by the storm and the third one we guarded. ||- if you want classic greek hospitality, this is not the place. We have visited Greece last 10 years , 3-4 times a year, so we have met many greeks. Owners are ok, but closed to themselves. Don't expect anything. We have made friends in the village, been invited to locals home and got free things in the restaurant we ate. Got nothing from the hosts. They didn't even came to greet us good-buy after a 7 days stay.||- NO late check out. We asked for 2 hours only, for the baby to sleep and then hit the road. We got a reply that the cleaning lady is on the clock and it's a problem to delay. Considering that we have asked before if we could stay one more day, and got a positive reply, the room was empty the next day. Nevertheless, we didn't receive the 2 extra hours. I was very disappointed. Probably they felt me it too, as they didn't even came to great us good-buy after a...
