Firstly just want to reiterate the reviews already given (the good ones that is). This place is lovely we had an upstairs apartment with views over the lovely garden, trees, pool and the blue sea on the horizen. Secondly this place wouldn't be as nice as it is without Stavro and Eli who look after them and anyone that stays there. They are so kind, when our flight was late and we arrived nearly 2 hours late (1.30am) he was waiting up for us and even offered to cook us something to eat. We are going back in April next year and can't wait.
If you go between now and April - please feed the cats!

From start to finish Stavros and his family made us feel completely at home. The room was clean, tidy and well equipped. View from our room was great, with surrounding trees and flowers in bloom. We would highly recommend Saradari for a lovely peaceful break. Thank you Stavros!

First, disregard any bad reviews you have read of these 18 apartments. They are excellent value for money and set in a very good location with pleasant gardens and are within a 5 minute walk to the sea and 10 minutes to a lovely little beach which is round the back of a little taverna which calls itself a Wine Bar. The wine was shocking, but we managed a few carafes over the fortnight!

We arrived at the Saradari after midnight, early on a Monday morning, and there was a party in full swing - an engagement party for the owners son we were told. We were shown to our apartment and even though Stavros was busy with the party he found time to arrange toasted sandwiches for us which we washed down with a beer. Perfect! At the same time we arrived another couple also turned up. They were not expected as their holiday company had not actually made the reservation with Stavros. However within 30 minutes he had found them alternative accommodation for a couple of nights, after which they moved back to the Saradari.

The rooms were clean and adequate and the sheets and towels were changed 4 times during our 2 week stay. We always had a hot shower, although the whole shower/toilet arrangement was a bit peculiar - to sit on the loo meant having your right foot in the shower tray. Still, not really a problem!

The pool was clean and well kept and very pleasant to sit by at the end of the day to have a beer and watch the sun go down. There were plenty of sun beds and parasols and whilst we were there there was never any shortage.

There is a bar by the pool which also serves food - including breakfast - and Stavros puts on the odd function in the evening, such as a barbeque which we attended with about 16 other guests, and which turned into a good evening.

At the little beach nearby 2 sunbeds and 1 parasol are available for 7.5e from a charming 'bed' man who is very helpful and friendly and speaks good English. The beach was lovely - the sea was clean and the beach was a mixture of rocky areas and sand and was very well kept. The little taverna/wine bar by the beach was somewhat limited in choice but perfectly adequate for lunch.

The main area of bars and restaurants is about 1 km away - a 10-15 minute walk. There is a huge selection of bars, including several Italian/Greek restaurants, which served fresh pizzas, good pasta dishes and a wide range of Greek food. The Starlight was one of the better restaurants, and a shared starter, two main courses and a carafe of wine (of somewhat indifferent vintage!) cost about 30e.

The best place we found to eat was a family run taverna called Mythos. We didn't actually try this until 4-5 days before the end of our holiday. However, we managed to go there a total of 3 times before we left. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly. We had a shared mixed grill for 20e which we struggled to eat as the portions were so generous and so we smuggled some of the meat out to share amongst the ever hungry cats on the island.

Overall, a fantastic experience. We returned very relaxed and would not hesitate to recommend the Saradari for a cheap holiday to anyone.
