Giannis Studios

We chose these apartments after reading others reviews that was our first mistake. The positives were the young check in lad was very friendly as was the owner vasso and that's it. The negatives room was very basic not very clean,cobwebs everywhere, cotton bud on floor etc. We found the bar man not very welcoming and the old English woman extremely rude, this was probably reflected on there being no atmosphere around the bar and probably the most boring place we've stayed and so we decided to spend our money elsewhere for the rest of our holiday. Aylkes is a beautiful destination and we would return in a heartbeat as everywhere else we visited was so warm and welcoming but definitely wouldn't return to this accommodation. Big shout out to the iris bar though the most welcoming place ever.

I don't like writing negative reviews and always try to keep things in perspective and consider cost etc etc. I also take pride in researching places before I book. My wife and I both returned from this holiday feeling disappointed with this accommodation. The bad feeling started at check in. It was prompt and easy but we felt the charges of 60 euros for AC then 25 euros to use a very basic safe a bit over the top. We expected a charge but to be nearly 100 euros down before getting the key isnt a great start. The room itself was very small. We were on the top floor and there isn't a lift. We have an infant with a pushchair so this was very inconvenient. Back to the room, once unpacked you felt like you couldn't move and the room was a mess. We used our suitcases for bedside tables...The shower...literally can't move in there. The beds are rock hard, our backs were finished after a day or 2. Obviously, the accommodation is self-catering. Cooking materials are basic but because of the lack of space things just aren't possible. There isn't anywhere to sit and eat in the room anyway and the balcony barely fits a chair on it. We had issues with our AC which kept leaking water and flooding the room. Staff were generally attentive and helpful but we were not impressed with cleaning. I think this happens every 2 days but that is inconsistent which meant we had to ask for fresh towels. The pool area is as expected. Nice and quiet. You are on the main road though and there isn't a gate so be mindful if you have young children. The snack or food bar is great and is probably the best part of the hotel. All in all, we had a good holiday but spent most of it away from the complex. Alykes is lovely and is a 10 minute walk away. The beach is great! My advice would be to go to Alykes, but stay elsewhere.

Just come back from a week at Giannis Studios. Lovely apartments with amazing caring and helpful staff especially Vasso helped my friend and I with a situation and made our holiday amazing. Angelo worked hard up late with the food and the bar. Back again early next morning. Staff were amazing and very friendly. Most definitely would return to these apartments.

This was our 1st stay at Giannis Studio and a fantastic stay it was. We were met on our arrival by Vasso who was extremely welcoming and couldn't do enough to make our stay a pleasant one. Our apartment was very clean and comfortable. Angelo run a well stocked bar he was very helpful and accommodating and an excellent chef. Steph was also very friendly along with the housekeeper. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back next year.

Worst hotel EVER!! We were with 3 so we got a two person room with an extra bed, except it was a rotten and dirty beach bed (photos). The lady said others have slept on it so it basically “shouldn’t be a problem” The people working there are very short tempered and the women who do room service almost don’t respect your privacy. They knocked on our door in the morning, waking us up, and then they grabbed the keys and opened the door, we weren’t even up yet BIG NO GO

Just what we needed for a perfect holiday, friendly and welcoming met off the coach cases carried straight to room and then the holiday began! Fabulous food and drinks from Angelo so friendly and nothing is too much trouble, management also very friendly and along with Angelo provided a fantastic BBQ night, great food, drinks and company couldn’t fault it. Rooms are great, lovely balcony we had on first floor, showers good had what we needed and cleaned daily by Leda brilliant service. Pool lovely plenty of sun beds absolutely no need to save any (not that we ever do)! Location ideal just 10 minutes walk to main shops, bars and restaurants, with others to visit on the way down. Beach lovely plenty of beach bars and restaurants, water is so clear. You can also walk along the beach especially as tide goes out to Alykanas next resort along, or walk along river then road way to the main shops. Harbour visit is a must to see the turtles being fed by the fishermen. We will return another year for sure.
