The view was absolutely stunning- we had a balcony overlooking the sea and the sunset. Apartment was very comfortable. We will certainly go back! Spectacular view from the bar for evening drinks & restaurant for a breakfast. Location is great if you have a car as situated on the hill between Glossa and Loutraki. You can walk to either town or the nearest bus stop on narrow winding roads. Highly recommended for one of the best sunset spots on the island !
