Villa Zeytin

The place is very green and picturesque. Many historical sites to visit, e.g. Chimera mountain and the Olympos city are in walking distance. Many cafes around with delicious food for any taste. Host was very nice and helpful.

The particular house with 3 bedrooms we stayed in was very shabby: extremely low ceilings, leaky pipes in the toilet, rusty washing machine, broken handles on furniture, missing wardrobe shelves with nails sticking out, wobbly plastic dining table, etc. The other houses might be better though. Chickens are roaming free, screaming murder in the early morning and pooping on pathways all other time.

We stayed in the villa at the top of the estate, which was lighter and more open than the others, with a fantastic balcony/terrace overlooking a smallholding containing chickens. The rooms are well appointed, with a good size lounge, and kitchen area. 2 good sized bedrooms. The WiFi was intermittent, and not very reliable. The bathroom was standard but comfortable. The villa was a 10/15 minute stroll to the beach, or a couple of minutes in the car. There is a small (free) car park just before you get to the beach, which itself has a reserved area of sunbeds and shade. At the entrance to the beach there is a well appointed shop, a couple of minutes stroll back for provisions.

There is a very small car park, and not really enough room if every villa has a car. The overflow parking in this case appears to be on the road outside the property which we thought was risky, so when we were unable to park we left the car in the mosque car park/drive a couple of hundred yards away. Not ideal.

After an initial mix up with th accommodation , this was sorted by the owner , we enjoyed our stay. Good location, large room. Friendly on site staff
