KATIKIES STUDIOS & APARTMENTS $19 ($̶2̶5̶) - Updated 2021 Prices & Condominium Reviews - Lardos, Greece

These studio apartments are simple, but adequate. They are serviced every day to a high standard. Wifi is good, air con is good and they have direct access to a pebbly beach and are close to a bus stop. Another plus point is that they are so near several good restaurants. Don't come here expecting luxury accommodation, but for a comfortable, reasonably priced option in a beautiful area, this is a good option.

7th time in Lardos, 1st time at Katikies

We are a family of 4 with 2 girls 14 and 12. We have stayed in this area many times but never at these apartments. On arrival, 11pm, there was a note in the reception window advising us that our key was in the door. When we went in, we were glad to discover that the air con and safety deposit box was included in the price. The apartment has everything you need for a SC hol. Bathroom equipped with shower, WC, sink, mirror and hairdryer. Kitchen had fridge freezer, sink, 2 ring hob, toaster, kettle and coffee maker. There was a shortage of hangers for us in the wardrobe, so maybe take some. Also there was an ironing board but no iron. Double bed was super comfy but the beds that my girls slept on weren't very good. Apartment has a large balcony with table etc. and a place to hang wet clothes. The cleaner, Elena, lives on site and does everything. She emptied the bins, made the beds, swept, cleaned and left us towels daily. She also arranged a late check out for us for €25. Furnishings are old but it's clean. You are right on the beach and you can use the pool at elvita as long as you buy at least one drink. Sunshine hotel is also at the top of the street and you can do the same there. There are about 5 restaurants all within a minutes walk and a couple of bars. However, to experience Greece a 20 min walk inland will bring you to a village with amazing restaurants and a couple of bars where there is more of an atmosphere. Busier pefkos is about 5k in the other direction and Lindos a bit further. Taxis are easy to get or you can bus it. We would definitely recommend these apartments and will use again. 👍…

Didnt get what i paid for

Arrived on evening 13/09/2017 after paying money for a sea view. Got shown to a room with no sea view and when I questioned it I was directed to a phone to speak to owner by the cleaner who cudnt understand a word of English. I was told by owner that they could move me on the 17/09/2017!! I was only there for a week. Kettle and base didn't match so I had to use hob to boil water for a cuppa which took over a hour. No iron in room where it states there are ironing facilities, sockets hanging out of walls. Day comes to be moved where I didn't get moved till after 3pm again no iron however facilities we're much better in second room. Upon check out nowhere to safely store luggage as no one on reception, and that's not exactly what it was. More like a garage with 2 sets of patio doors and a couple of windows. No where to shower after 12pm check out when I was due to be picked up at 5: 30. All in all I wouldn't use these apartments again and I am in the middle of pursuing a complaint through travel republic which again have not given me a good experience. I never complain and go to this area every year twice a year. To be honest the experience spoilt what should of been a relaxing week. Avoid the place …

Katikies by the sea

This set of apartments is just perfect for a cheap holiday. The apartment we stayed in was just a small studio with two comfy single beds and very basic amenities. We loved it. Air con was in the price and kept our room nice and cool when the temperature outside was 35 degrees plus. Just a short walk of 30 seconds took us to the connecting beach, this was sand but had lots of pebbles, Near the water and continuing into the sea are more pebbles both small and large. A pair of sandals or other sort of footwear is advisable here. The sun beds outside are unfortunately chargeable at 3.5 Euros a person per day. We would normally get on the beach just after 9:00 in the morning and stay chilling out for a couple of hours before the sun got too hot, this was mid September and before we went we did think it would be a bit cooler at that time of year. Another 30 second walk and we was in the local bar next door, for a cool drink in the shade. There was a new supermarket just 50 yards down the road and a more local Greek supermarket about 150-200 meters away so getting supplies was no problem. There are 5 restaurants in the immediate area all good, and a couple very good. On the main road there is a bust stop just near the Greek supermarket. From here you can catch a bus to Lardos village or Pefkos in the other direction. On the beach just 100 meters away from Katikies is where the ferry to Lindos stops, for 7.50 Euro (15 return) you can have a nice hour long trip to the Acropolis. Well worth the money. At the time of our trip in 2017 the entrance charge was 12 Euro to see the ruins. All in all Katikies is a well placed base for walks to both Lardos and Pefkos. The Apartments themselves are as I say basic but the lovely cleaner came around every day to change sheets and give us fresh towels. Don't expect 5 stars and you will be well please. I would not hesitate to go back if we ever visited this part of Rhodes again.…

Nice stay right at the beach

Recommended! :) Really nice family hosted us in their small apartments right by the seashore. Studios are clean, but a bit old and could be better equipped - only few pieces of dishes, no glasses for wine and only small cups for coffee/tea... Breakfast is not bad for two/three days, but I can´t imagine have the same again for more days :) Quality matches the price, which is not high in this peaceful place. I can recommend stay there for people who want to have a relaxing holiday without plenty of anoying people around... So... some more little things to improve, but we enjoyed the stay :) Thank You.
