NIKOS APARTMENTS

What a fabulous place! We are currently here and have a nice apartment on the end of the block to the left of the pool. It’s on the first floor, has a large balcony with table, chairs and two sunbeds. The views are incredible, due to its location near the top of the hill, but this means difficulties in walking up! The walk into Lassi is easy as it’s all downhill, but the walk into Argostoli is a little bit more demanding for the first 300 yards which is uphill. Thereafter the walk to Argostoli is all downhill, takes around 25 minutes, and a taxi back is between €8 and €10 - if you can find one! We also had a taxi from Lassi to our apartments which cost €6, seems expensive for such a short journey but well worth it it these extreme temperatures. These apartments are truly self catering, so don’t come here if you expect your beds to be made, or the bins emptied every day! We found this ideal as we didn’t need to worry when the cleaner was coming! We’ve had towels and sheets changed just the once during our week, which suited us. As previous guests have advised, there is no waste bin in the kitchen area so bring your own bin bags, tea towel and also nappy bags for the toilet. We opted to pay for air conditioning from the start, which was €50 and well worth it. As all the apartments are facing West you do get some shade on the balconies up to midday, but thereafter it’s full sunshine until sunset! The pool area is lovely, never crowded and kept in good order. The supermarkets in Argostoli are much cheaper than those in Lassi and offer a greater choice of products, and the shops are nice to walk around - especially through the pedestrian precinct.

Absolutely loved my stay at nikos didnt want to leave- beautiful views from every where- so peaceful and lovely gardens- rooms had everything you needed very typically greek which i loved- lady that cleaned the rooms was so friendly and worked so hard-olive garden next door was an added bonus with beautiful sunsets to sit and have a cocktail and chill- great food and such nice staff too- cant fault this place and will hopefully return soon

Absolutely amazing place. Rooms basic and spotlessly clean. Fantastic views, very peaceful. Large balconies with perfect views for all of the rooms. The owner and the cleaning lady are two of the nicest, kindest people you will meet. The few feral cats that may visit the area are well cared for, neautered and fed which is lovely to see in Greece. Ignore negative reviews, this place is a little gem Small, friendly and typically Greek.

I visited Nikos apartments 2 years ago and again last week . The views are just as amazing as I remember . The rooms are very basic but clean . Take a tea towel and dishcloth . Bedding changed twice in the week also towels . Even though there is no reception as such the owner is on site on arrival and explains everything about your room . Across the road is The Olive garden resort which has a nice bar and seating area and also food and George actually remembered us too ! If you have a late flight home there is an area at Nikos where you can leave your cases or, you can use the Olive Garden which has toilets as you have to vacate tlroom at Nikos by 10am There is no fighting for sunbeds at Nikos and, it was a nice time to go as quiet in town . There are about 4 supermarkets to get provisions and you can hail.a taxi anywhere along the street The walk down the hill only takes 15-20mins where there bars and restaurants . Taxis' back up are €8 and the same price too for a trip to Argostoli . Even though this is rated 2* if you want peace and quiet and beautiful views then thats the place to go.

Wonderful place, great value for money. We were a little bit sceptical on arrival in Lassi as to what to expect but have had the best 2 weeks. The apartment was very clean, nice big airy room and a lovely big balcony. The kitchen had everything we could want although we didn't cook once. The maid works hard and came in every 3 days . The pool and gardens are lovely and once you have done the Lassi hill a couple of times you get used to it . Everyone we met were lovely and it was great to have fhe 'library' of books people had left .

Absolutely no information from TUI as to where to go to check in on arrival at property. Late at night , dropped at gates and no idea where to go as there are two blocks. No signs or arrows by gate to follow. We were totally unaware where to find any number or information to check in. Not a great start after a very long journey. Eventually another guest helped us thankfully and eventually we spoke to owner who told us our room number. It was very hot and we requested air con. Was told by female owner she would be with us in five minutes. She did not arrive after 35 mins and we needed to find somewhere to eat so left accommodation. Owner arrived when we were out and left air con remote for us .we paid the cleaner the 50 euros plus 14 euros tax in cash next morning but owner complained to TUI that we had not paid. She arrived unannounced and was very loud,and accusing us of telling lies. She was very volatile and unpleasant. Accommodation was clean, basic which we expected as 2 star. However there were no bedside lights, no sockets apart from one no where near bed. So you had to turn light off and find way in dark back to bed. No kitchen bin which as a self catering apartment should be in place. Not suitable space for any cooking only making a cuppa. No toaster. Hot plate with two rusty rings, no oven or grill. Uncomfortable bed with stains on mattress, lumpy nasty pillows. Shower was diabolical. On the positive side it was a quiet location with nice views. That’s where positive it ends. Outdoor space scruffy with residents openly feeding stray cats and inviting them into rooms. Pool was dirty and didn’t see it being cleaned once. Steps into pool a real hazard and faulty. Would definitely not recommend these apartments and TUI in our opinion should not be using them. Jet 2 apparently have stopped using them.
