A big thank you to Rena, Aris, Dena and Mr Vangelis for making our stay at this family run accommodation so enjoyable. We received the most friendly welcome from Rena when we arrived late evening, having walked up from the main road where the coach had dropped us with our luggage. Rena encouraged us to sit and relax and a glass of complimentary ouzo was given. Rena's son, Aris showed consideration by querying whether we would be ok with a third floor room and, as I'm an older lady, I said I preferred a room lower down. After some rushing around Aris showed us to a ground floor apartment, room 105 which was in a quiet area away from the road. Check in was very informal, no paperwork taken or passports copied. All very laid back and relaxed. We asked if we could possibly have something to eat and Mr Vangelis was only too happy to make chicken souvlaki for us which was a good sized portion and very tasty. Our apartment was huge, housing three single beds, a table and chairs, dressing table and kitchen area, with bathroom off the main room. Next morning Rena was outside very early washing/hosing everything down and cleaning. She did this every day and together with Dena and Aris, were always working in one way or another. Cleaning outside areas, helping serving food, working in the attached supermarket. On the go all the time and everywhere was very clean indeed. If you needed anything you had only to ask. Nothing was too much trouble and they were all very accommodating to our needs. Bins were emptied daily, fresh towels and sheets provided. Towels to be left outside your apartment if you want fresh ones. The Greek breakfast was plentiful and tasty too. Fruit juice, tea or coffee, toast with jam, two friend eggs, feta, tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, cheese and ham, always a good start to the day. It is all freshly prepared for you, not a buffet as is common in most accommodation. Omelettes were also available or any combination of eggs etc. We found the nearest restaurants were over a mile away which, after a day's exploring, was rather too far for me as I use a walking stick. Apart from two evenings, we ate at Rena Apartments, with Mr Vangelis preparing freshly cooked food for us. Delicious, nicely presented, good portion sizes and reasonably priced. This suited us very well indeed. I have food intolerances and Mr Vangelis was able to accommodate these. The vegetable risotto, chicken fillet, lamb chops and chicken souvlaki were all excellent, as was the fresh Gilt Head Bream he cooked for us one evening - he is an accomplished chef and very diligent in keeping his working area very clean. A big thank you to him for feeding us so well. Some reviews have mentioned holes in sheets and towels, things being outdated etc. Yes we noticed a few of these things but none detracted from all the positives at Rena Apartments or the overall enjoyment of our holiday. Remember they have hit hard times as well, due to the pandemic, the economi
