The property was lovely; our room had A/C and a mini-fridge with a freezer, and the balcony had a drying rack with clothespins. The bathroom had a shower, toilet, sink, and hairdryer, too! Haroula is the best: friendly, always happy, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable. She's our new good friend, and so are the people in all the stores, bars, and restaurants. We will be staying with her again. Kalamaki is heaven on earth! It was the BEST vacation we've ever had; it was beautiful, charming, and fun. I highly, highly recommend Galaxias Studios and give it a 5-star rating! ***** !

This was my favourite stay in Greece. The host was so warm and welcoming everytime. She made me feel like i was at home. The beach is more quiet than Matala and a 10 minute bus ride from Matala if you want to visit the town. Beautiful long beach and restaurants and very peaceful with not many tourists. I liked that the room has fridge, cooking top and kettle with full kitchen utensils. The bathroom is small but hot water is good. I will for sure recommend Haroula's place for your next stay!
