"Alekas Studios was the perfect place for our spring holiday. Beautiful garden with tables and chairs, nicely decorated studios with a fully equipped kitchen. Wonderful landlady — Aleka was very accommodating and helpful. Rooms cleaned every day, towels and sheets changed regularly. The pebble beach is just a 5-minute walk away."— Verified guest, TripAdvisor
