Captain Ikaros

Excellent service -very friendly-one of a kind stay -the houses/villas are all one of a kind

We loved our room! It was adorable and so cozy and clean. Also very close to Agios Kyrikos. The staff was lovely and picked us up late from the port, which we so appreciated!

A very peaceful location, very quiet and absolutely gorgeous! The cabin was idyllic, very cute and perfect for a romantic vacation. The staff was very friendly, especially when we blundered on our first day, and locked ourselves out. Very comfy bed, and amazing bathroom.

While we didn't care much about this, it's important to acknowledge a few minor problems: - the TV wasn't working: it was unplugged, and when we plugged it in, it wouldn't work. We didn't care much, the island is not for sitting around and watching TV, but if you're planning on watching something late at night, check that it works beforehand; - electrical troubleshooting: because it's a cabin, I guess the electrics aren't super great, we had to turn off the boiler's safety in order to shower. Not exactly safe to have people playing with the electrical safeties; - Bugs galore! This we knew was gonna happen, so we prepared, didn't bother us that much, but if you're going, maybe make sure you buy a fly/mosquito repellant thingy, just for your peace of mind.

Isolated place in a olive grove

As the access to the structure is not signposted, it's almost impossible to find it. Our taxi driver had to be guided by phone by a member of the staff. Even at the entry gate and at the parking, you find no mention of "Captain Ikarus". We never found out whether there was a reception somewhere. The woman who showed us the room when we arrived at 6pm spoke only Greek (except a few sentences like "breakfast is between 9am and 11am") and tried to answer our questions thanks to a smartphone application. So we learned that a early breakfast (at 8.30 instead of 9am) was impossible, that a restaurant for dinner was in the center of Ayos Kirikos and could only be reached by taxi, that this ride would cost 14 EUR and that the taxi should be booked 1 day ahead. We found then a good restaurant for dinner at 15 min on foot by ourselves. The next morning, we went on foot to the ferry port (with our luggage) and had breakfast there, before the departure of our ferry at 9.30am. The accommodation was very idyllic, in the middle of trees. As the night was windy, the branches of these trees touched almost continously either the roof or the facade, often in a very loud manner, so that is was almost impossible to sleep. Each time when we awoke, we had the impression, that somebody else had entered the room.

Ms Asimina, the caretaker, was very kind and helpful, and prepared a great bre.

Poorly equipped. Had to ask for bedside lamp! Very bad closet (not nailed to the wall and thus dangerous for the baby, no hangers nor shelves), we had it removed. Kitchen is not common as mentioned! Cold water at the shower

We stayed in a 2 bedroom lovely appartment under the main building. It is very comfortable (AC, mosquito screens, washing machine, ...). Excellent bedding. The property is truly beautiful (olive, laurel, fig trees everywhere), extremely well kept, quiet and relaxing. The pool area is charming. The breakfast is very good with home made preserves and the hosts are nice.

One suggestion would be to provide some basic tableware (cutlery, plates, glasses and mugs) as well as a kettle and coffee machine. It would be a minor investment to bring the experience to the overall standard of the accommodation and surroundings. We felt a bit frustrated not being able to prepare a nice cup or tea/coffee or cook some light meal after a big day out exploring the island, especially as the kitchen is big but has no equipment at all except the fridge.

friendly staff, great breakfast and rooms were clean
