If you are considering Alikanas as a holiday destination then you won't find better than Bekiris Studios. These apartments don't particularly stand out on Booking.com, but boy oh boy they are superb! as well as being great value for money! They provided a large, spacious room with a double plus a single bed. Both were incredibly comfortable, as was the bedding and pillows (brilliant pillows). The kitchenette is limited, one hot ring, one sandwich maker, but there is a kettle and a fridge with an icebox. If you've been to Greece before, you know that is all you need. There is also air-con - the first we've experienced at no extra cost - and boy did we need it! The TV says satellite channels but we only found BBC World - not a problem as who wants to watch TV when you're in Greece? There is a large balcony (we were on the upper floor) which faced west so it was full sun in the evening. The only relief we had was to put a washing line up to dry the towels and provide a bit of shade. Kristina, who owns/runs the apartments is a lovely lady. We made contact via Booking.com, and from then on used whatsapp. She offers return transfers from the airport for 30 euro each way - a taxi costs 40 euro. On the day we were leaving, we should have checked out at 11 am, but as we weren't flying until 4 pm. Kristina very kindly allowed us to keep the room on at no extra cost. The family also owns and runs a family restaurant on the main strip. It is really well supported and offers a great choice of Greek food at very reasonable prices. I don't think it would hurt if they put a menu in each room just to let people know who/where they are. |The apartments are set in their own gardens with beautiful flowering borders. They are a 3 minute walk to a supermarket at neighbouring Danny.s Hotel and approx 15 mins from the beach. All the local bars and restaurants are within a few minutes walk. There are several Hotels with pools in easy walking distance. ||Ps... if you are going to Alikanas, then you might find it helpful to know at the beach the prices for 2 beds and a brolly are: Orange brollies 25 euro a day. Blue & white brollies 20 euro a day, wooden beds with blue cushions 15 euro a day and....finally and the best is wooden beds with cream cushions 10 euro a day.. This section of the beach not only gives very comfortable beds, but a chair and a table plus waiter service for drinks/snacks from the restaurant. There are also toilets and a swimming pool at the...
Read moreCheap as chips! Great place if you understand these 3 things, It's a clean & safe room over your head. Hot showers, with plenty of water, Location is great, quite area which is in a 2 minute walking distance to the heart of Alikanas. The room we were in had a small oven with 2 hobs & a sandwich toaster. The TV was upto date, had HDMi connection. Which helped me on remote sessions, as still had to do a bit of work. The road to Bekiris is directly opposite an old bar called Jesters. Busters bar at end of road. Alikanas main strip about 2 minutes walk away. 7 minutes walk to the beach. Danny's hotel next door. Great breakfasts. 😉 Danny's supermarket on the corner. Has your basics & about a minute walk away. Christina the manager is very approachable & if you are missing anything she will help. Friendly staff is always a bonus. The rooms are dated. But hey, it's cheap, not your top london hotel. All in all This is a good location, cheap & clean place to stay...
Read moreThis is a studio apartment with a bathroom, small kitchen, and a balcony. It has everything you need and is a great budget-friendly option, especially since you can cook at home instead of eating out. It’s not a luxury stay, but it’s comfortable and practical.
There’s parking available outside, as well as a barbecue area for guests to use. The building has 8 rooms with a similar design, and an extra bed for kids can be added if needed.
The only downside for us was the shower cabin, which was a bit too small and not very convenient if you want to shower without getting your hair wet.
Cristina, the host, is very friendly and cleaned the rooms every day. Check-out is before 11 am. (The photos I attached were taken just before we left, not at the beginning...
