Captain's Villas

Nice place. Close to supermarket and a few tavernas and the bakery. Air con cost 100 euro for the week. Water pressure and temperature can be a bit dodgy. Assumed it’s because everyone else was having a shower at the same time. Bring a travel washing line with you. Had a t towel, washing up liquid and scrubber provided. Had a hair dryer on wall in bathroom. Didn’t use balcony as it was always in the sun. Pool area was nice enough. Never had any problems getting a sunbed. There are showers and toilets behind pool bar for when you go home if you’re not leaving til later as check out is 10am. Didn’t eat there but food looked good enough for a snack bar kind of place. They did themed nights there too. Pool is shallow at one side (there’s also a small kids part of the pool) but then gets quite deep. Tourist tax was 14 euros and they prefer that in cash. There was nowhere open when we got there (quite late) so consider stocking up on food and water at airport departure for late evening arrivals (glad we did). Sofas in lounge are used as 2 single beds. Sheets and pillows provided. Plenty of plug sockets. Room was cleaned 3 or 4 times during our stay. Plenty of coat hangers in the wardrobe. Takes about an hour to get there from airport. 10/15 min walk to beach with quite a bit of footpath. Beach is very shallow outside the tavernas and is mostly sandy. 15 euro for 2 sunbed and umbrella (you can’t get just the 1 sunbed) Beach to left of kiosk is pebbly with a bit of sand. Can sometimes get a spare free sunbed/umbrella here. Water has more larger stones in it for parts.

What a lovely week we had at Eryphilli. Special thanks to Nickos, the 2 Peters, and Dimitris for being great hosts. The one bdrm apts are really nice and we loved our lazy days by the good sized pool. Food on site was fantastic - especially the quiche ! It is a 15 minute walk down to the beach, where you will find a row of tavernas and several bars. Make the effort to find " Dreamcatchers " if you can, it's a real gem. A short walk from Eryphilli there is a mini market and the very good Persas taverna. All in all, it's a great place to stay and we will be returning soon. Jim and Angie .
