Top choice in Akamas Peninsula
Positively the best place to stay in Polis, with many repeat customers (most book a year in advance). A flowery path runs alongside the apartments, each of which has a bedroom, a living room and a balcony overlooking peaceful olive groves. There's a swimming pool and an outdoor bar for snacks and drinks, plus mature gardens and a small playground.
The whole place has an intimate, homey feel.
