We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Oyster! The villa was exceptionally clean and well appointed. Maria and Georgios were most welcoming! The villa is right on the beach and the pool is just lovely. The location is great it is close to many restaurants and supermarkets. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and if at all possible will come and stay again. Just lovely! Maybe newer and more bath towels.

The staff we're extremely polite and friendly, always ready to assist in anyway they could. The villa itself was perfect, with being a family of 4, we were able to have a floor each. Cleaning service was available everyday if required. Pool perfect size for cooling off during the heat of the day. A few minor repairs required but nothing of any importance. Option of a later checkout would have been a nice touch as having a late flight home meant no where to freshen up before heading to the airport. ##### James This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andreas 25 Jun 2022 #### Excellent holiday We had fantastic Holiday in Blue Oyster 2 Villa.

Objekt absolut empfehlenswert. Lage und Ausstattung lassen keine Wünsche offen. Relativ zentral und doch ruhig, das immer präsente Meeresrauschen ließ keinen Verkehrslärm durchkommen. Wir haben die großzügige Raumaufteilung und die Ruhe im genossen. Auf Grund der mitgelieferten GPS-Koordinaten war es für das Navi auch kein Problem die doch recht enge und unscheinbare Zufahrt zu finden. Das Personal war stes freundlich und hilfsbereit. ##### Kerstin Z.

My three friends and I had a fantastic week away here! Such a beautiful and picturesque place. Everything nearby that you could possibly need. Fantastic views and a stones throw from the clean and peaceful beach. We cooked at home most days and made the most of the bbq but did dine out on a few occasions-a huge choice of places and menus. Can highly reccomend the local greek cuisine. Daily maid service was a pleasant surprise and were so friendly and polite, as was Georgia who made sure our stay was as stress free as possible. We will certainly be back again! ##### Alana C.
