We spent 2 weeks at Michalis for a much needed holiday. We stayed in the traditional studio, the only down side to this being there was no ground floor rooms available at the time & its 2 flights of stairs to the next floor where our studio was situated. The studio contained all you could need for self catering - fridge/freezer, kettle, toaster, 2 ring cooker, pots/pans etc. The bathroom was a challenge - you’re in Greece, possibly to be expected, however the shower flooded the bathroom floor every single time. The water was barely ever warm. The toilet was constantly leaking as it has a crack right around the bottom. Bathroom could really do with a refurb. The huge balcony had the sun on it all day & overlooked the amazing hills. Maria the cleaner did a great job & ensured we had everything we needed. Cleaning is every 3 days at request but this was more than enough for us.
The staff were truly amazing & could not do enough for us! Mark & Lorna were always on hand & boy do they have a fantastic sense of humour. They work so hard every day to ensure people are enjoying their time at Michalis, it was an absolute pleasure to see them every day.
The pool bar opens at 9am & you get a smile as soon as you’re seen. Great selection of food & drinks served at reasonable prices. We were slightly disappointed that it closes at 18:30 though. The gardens & pool are kept immaculately clean by Mark. Ilknur (favourably known to us as ‘first’ ) was very hospitable & we enjoyed the laughs we had. Local supermarket Bambam is 10mins walk away, just a short walk beyond that is the sea & a few restaurants. The busses also travel along the sea road at frequent intervals, however they can get very full! It’s 1.40€ pp from Psalidi to the Old town. A taxi to Old town is 8€ if flagged down, 13€ if pre booked.
A big thank you to you all at Michalis for making our holiday superb. Watch this space, we will be back!
