Due to my profession, I have seen and stayed in many hotels in many countries. Melas apartments was a very pleasant surprise for many reasons and mostly because of... read more the warmth of the welcome. The owner, Mrs. Melas, make you feel at home and give you the chance to experience the true Greek hospitality. Nothing was too much for her and she was always willing to meet our needs, to answer to our questions and to help us in any way she could.
The location of the hotel is perfect. Everything you need is in walking distance. Just across the street there is a small blue flag rated beach, the sandy Ammoudi beach with all the facilities is only 150 m. away and there are many other beaches nearby. The town center of the cosmopolitan Agios Nikolaos with the lake, the shops, the bars, the cafes, the restaurants is just a short walk by the seaside –not more than ten minutes.
Our apartment had a spectacular view -having breakfast in the balcony, gazing the endless blue the best way to start your day - and the sunset was stunning . The apartment was renovated with double glazing windows and marble floors. It had a calm atmosphere, it was spacious, quite, bright and although not luxurious, it was comfortable and well equipped with all the necessary facilities. I must also mention the excellent daily service. All the place was very clean, and even my wife –who notices all the spots everywhere – was very impressed.
I think that Melas apartments offer a high quality (because quality does not mean luxury), value for money hospitality experience and I highly recommend it . I will certainly stay there again next time that I will go to Agios Nikolaos.

  We stayed at these family run apartments for two weeks in August and highly recommend the place.

The apartments are just a few minutes out of the... read more main town of Agios Nikolaos on the main road, which means rooms at the front have a spectacular unhindered view across the whole bay. Our room was large, bright and cheerful, and the double-glazing keeps noise from outside to a minimum. Some improvements could be made (larger shower area, more storage space), but these modernisations are being done bit by bit.

There's a small beach opposite, and the apartments are very close to plenty of good bars and cafes - Toedeleokie cafe is great, and To Pareaki restaurant is one of the best. The location also makes it easy to take a stroll down to some of the other great restaurants at the other end of the bay, away from Agios Nikolaos main town.

The best thing of all though are the owners - George and his mother are extremely hospitable and accommodating, and they'll do anything for you to ensure your utmost comfort.

  Very nice place with a great sea view. Friendly staff, very clean rooms. 3 minutes walk from the nearest beach. Highly recommended for a 1-2 weeks vacation. City center is... read more just 10 minutes walk, all nice restaurants, shopping places and discoes are there.

We really enjoyed it and will, definitely, come back!

  We really enjoyed our week at Melas App. It is very close to the centre and has an excellent view of the bay. The rooms are very clean and the... read more owners are very friendly and gave useful information about the area. Very good memories. Also when in Agio visit Chez George, a very nice bar overlooking the bay.

  The apartment was beautiful and clean with a balcony overlooking the sea. Warm welcome and you find everything you need, or might need. Nothing is too much trouble. Lifts to... read more the road so no trailing heavy cases up the stairs. I would highly recommend the apartments as a home from home whilst on holiday.
