Kri-Kri Village Holiday Apts by Estia

The area around the pool, the village itself, the bar, reception, and the central hall look nice. Breakfast is standard, but we have no complaints. The sea is close, with a few average beaches nearby. The wind blows constantly, which we personally liked, as it gets very hot on the island in July.

What I didn’t like was that we booked a 50 m² maisonette but were given a triple room instead. The owner explained this as a Booking.com error, which, frankly, should not be my concern — that’s between Booking.com and the property. Our card was charged as if we had stayed all three nights in the maisonette. When we pointed this out to the owner, she said it was again not her fault and that she would “compensate” us with free air conditioning?! Haha. Charging for air conditioning on the southernmost island in Greece in the middle of July is, in my opinion, scandalous — and I won’t even get into how it was handled. The next day, we were moved to the maisonette, which was decent, but the facilities at the property were very poor. Several times, I noticed there were no dishcloths or paper towels, and more importantly, no dishwashing liquid or sponge to wash a glass, plate, or anything else. Dishes have to be washed by hand without any proper supplies — which is unacceptable in a property where cooking is allowed. Even if you don’t cook, you still need to be able to wash a juice glass, a fruit plate, etc. Furthermore, the shower cabin is not just small — it’s tiny. I weigh 49 kg, and my 12-year-old daughter and I could barely fit in it, and every time we showered, the bathroom would flood. I can’t imagine how people who weigh 100 kg would manage. The pool is fine, the bar is fine, but everything — absolutely everything — in this property seems designed to extract money from guests. I would never return.

The area has two little shops, restaurants, and some nice sandy or rocky beaches with . The prices for food and drink ranged from cheap to reasonable. The hosts were very nice. I liked the atmosphere. The accommodations were also perfect for 3 adults.

The pool was open from 9:00 - 20:00, I love night swimming and was very disappointed. They said it was to clean, but on our last few days the pool was oily, dirty, hairs would get in-between your fingers when swimming, and it had black algae floating in it. The air-conditioning was €8 per day. And there was no wind every day we were there. The internet was only for public spaces, and even the 4G that was in the area struggled in the rooms. Room service was every 3 days, I think, but they didn't do the dishes, thats fine but there was no soap or scrubers.

I liked the bathroom and the air conditioning.

The bed had a weird smell like vomit that I wasn’t sure from where did it come from.

Near two nice beaches, rooms were clean and spacious and the bar around the pool was a great place to hangout. The staff was very nice and helpful.

The room lacked dish soap, sponge and drier and maybe having some salt also. Would have made cooking much easier.

Pool and near all the places we visited

Too little equipment in the kitchen. Few problems on the apartment

Jenny (with the help of her daughter and Maria) is the perfect host! Place squeaky clean and amazing positive vibes!

The wifi connection in the room was not the best. I took it as a chance to detox from the internet, but I think could be easily fixed :)

Fantastic stay in a lovely location, jenny is a wonderful host and couldn't do enough for us, thank you Jenny!!
