We stayed in No. 2 apartment which had a side balcony that overlooked half of the port and right up the hillside to Chorio.

The was a small bathroom with shower cubicle and a small kitchen area, the usual... More

Just returned (on 9th June) from a 2 week holiday at the Irini Studios with Olympic. The trip across from Rhodes was very easy (about an hour).
