We spent 1 week in Aug 07 in Atalos Villas and had a great time.

The owners – Giannis and Irini are extremely friendly and very accommodating. Giannis picked us at the airport and drove us back to airport at the end of our stay. If you need help finding a car, need extra kitchen stuff or just need some advice on where to go – Giannis and Irini would always help. Giannis always prepares breakfast and lunch snacks by the pool. Greek salad is highly recommended.

We had 1 bedroom apartment: 1 large bedroom with 2 queen beds + sofa and a separate 2nd bedroom with a full bed. 2nd bedroom is separated from the kitchenette by a curtain. Kitchenette had a refrigerator, gas stove, pans, dishes, all utensils, etc. Large bedroom had A/C and a very nice balcony with side sea view. The room was crystal clean – cleaned by Irini every day except Sunday.

Atalos Villas is not an ocean front property, but is only 3-4 minutes walking from the Kamari beach and the promenade with dozens of restaurants. Right before the beach are 2 small supermarkets.
Would definitely come back some time.

We booked directly via Atalos Villas web site. Some previous reviews suggested that that way you get a preferential treatment. Not sure about that but we were very happy with our choice.
My recommendation is – book directly with Atalos Villas.

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Atalos Apartments for two weeks this August and I couldn't think of a bad word to write about it! The owners Irini and Yiannis (not sure of spelling) were wonderful and their wee daughter Maria is a very sweet child! The location was brilliant, only 5 mins to the beach and you are surrounded by so many different restaurants suited to every taste. I would recommend staying in Kamari as although the West side of the island is great (views are stunning) it is a trek to the beach and you miss the cool sea breeze in places like Oia and Fira. One thing I would like to add is if you are considering booking a trip to Santorini through Xcel Travel first cost the trip yourself, it some cases you may find its a lot cheaper to book through Atalos apartments and get your own flights.....

Booked Atalos through Kosmar Holidays and quickly discovered that the owner gives preferential treatment to those who book directly with him. The rooms he allocates to Kosmar clients are a disgrace whereas the ones he allocates to those who have booked direct with him are quite grand in comparison!! When we arrived and were handed the key there was no sign of a "welcome" just an abrupt indication as to where the room was - the sight of which horrified us and we went to complain immediately - this initial complaint left us ostracised by him for the entire fortnight! The balcony was overlooking a buiders yard - cement mixer, scaffolding, wrecked car, etc. etc. the electrics were handing off both cerilings and walls. Never had a warm shower in the entire fortnight and the towels resembled sheets of sandpaper. He was rude to Kosmar guests and charming to those who had booked direct. The pool area was pleasant enough but frankly we wanted to be as far as possible away from Atalos and the owners.

We have just a 2 wonderfull weeks at the Atalos Villas we where self catering but the hospitality that you get from the owners Gainnis and Irnni and Maria is wonderful. I stayed here 3years ago and we always said we would go back and we where not disappointed in fact it was better the rooms are nicely decorated and there is Televison in the room and Hairdryers safety boxes and the use of air conditioning which you do need because it was very hot.The rooms are cleaned every day and towels every other day,there is a poolside bar which the food that Gainnis cooks is brillant for snacks and bar prices are alot cheap than anywhere in Karmani.We went on trips to the Volcano that was Excellant and the sunset,ther are lots of good restaurants,also we found a good bistro sort of bar where you could get snack which some times you need for a change from greek food, it was nice to eat here for a change,it is called the Liverbird. If anybody are thinks to go to Santorini this is the place to Stay Atalos Villa because you would not get anywhere nicer and friendly, we are going back next year, there was me and my husband Kevin and are 2 friends Joan and Tommy Kay also my sister and husband and my niece where there at the same time we made lots of new friends who all said if they went back to Santorini they would stay here well and truly value for money and you get to me lovely people Gannis, Irnni and Maria who are just not owners but become friends as well.
