Just got back from a week at Evripides - is the best place I've stayed in Greece. Me & my mates had an amazing time, everyone there was so friendly - thanks to Uri & Nikos for everything! I'd definitely go back, can't fault it.

I completly agree with Sallena, whom i met whislt staying at Evirpides! And i too miss the place greatly, and hope to visit again in the future! I dont think we could have found a better place to stay in Kardamena, yes is a couple of miles away from town but is a great place. The pool is great, the apartments are clean, basic and confortable! The apartments are owned by a lovely family, which make u feel right at home, Nikos the Father and owner, his wife Denise and son Uri, and not to forget their nephew Zac! All of which are great people, very warming and welcoming, extremely friendly and their company was much enjoyed in the afternoon or in the early hours after returning from a good night out! They organise great little nights thru out the week, which get u ready for a night out in kardamena! They do a cocktail night/pool party on sundays, a BBQ night on a friday night and so on, most of which include a good greek dance or 3 haha, with Nikos and Uri entertainmenting on guitars and singing. And the rest of the family giving a taster of traditional greek dancing, and what a dancer/mover Zac turned out to be!!!!! This is a great place to stay out of the busyness and confusion during the day to have a relaxing, calming day saving ur energy for the excellent nights out Kardamena has to offer!!!

 I've just got back from Kos with my girlfriend and I am now at work writing this message. I would just like to say thanks to Nikos,Denise,Uri and Nikos's mother who is truly amazing for her age for a fabulous 2 weeks. We were so sad to leave we are going back in 2 months for another week. The apartment is situated in a great place as it is great to chill out round the pool in the day and is only a 5 minute walk to the local mini market and also to the nearest beach.The newer apartments we stayed in were alot more than we expected for ahat we paid and I've been to Greece afew times and this was by far the best value for money place I have stayed in so far.They have good snacks at the bar in the day and also a 24 hour bar which we found really good after a night out we would come back and have afew more drinks at the bar.Nikos works really hard to keep the place looking smart and is a really great guy and by the way I'm going to do some overtime to save up for the diamond ring! ha ha.Hope all is well and see you soon.

I did mean to write more than what was in my previous comments but posted it by accident!  Just wanted to say that if you are looking for place to stay where you truly chill out in the daytime and want the partying for the nightime this is the place to stay.  It's about 3.5kms out of the main resort but has easy access (1.30 euro by bus or 7 euro by taxi). The rooms are clean and comfortable, the pool area is great with a 24 hour pool bar, sky TV and they serve great bar snacks throughout the day which are good value for money.  The pool itself it really nice and a great way to cool down.  It's the perfect size and has the sun on it all day long.  Nik, Denise & Uri make you feel welcome as soon as you arrive.  The other guests staying there were all really friendly.  It's a great place to make new friends. The beach nearby has great watersports facilities and a nice sandy beach.  I would not hesitate to recommend this place and I will be going back again.  Just also wanted to say thanks to my new friends Adam, Vic, Jude & Emma for such a good laugh and great nights out and hope to see you all soon.

Me and my sister visited kardamena from 22nd july- 30 july. We arrived in the early hours of the mornin and was greeted  by the bar man Uri. Our appartment was very clean and the shower was as expected. We begrudged spending 7euros for a taxi into kardamena, but there is a bus for just 1.30euros which takes all of 2minutes. The pool is very nice especially when you can't stand the heat. Prices at the 24hour bar are fair, and the food is very nice. The family that run evripides are extremly friendly and helpful. I would recommed evripides apartments to anyone of any age!! We had a brilliant holiday!!!!!

We stayed at Evripides apartments for two weeks. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by the bar staff and everyone who worked there. The apartments were well kept and the pool area was of the highest quality! The bar was open 24 hours, which was good after a night out for a swift beer! We met Uri the bar man who took us out for a good night of the Kardamena nightlife! His mom made a crackin cheese and ham toastie! I also got a crack of spear gun fishing which was spot on and experienced eating the octopuss i caught! All in all the apartments were excellent and i had great time! I recommend it to anyone of all ages!

I just re-read my posting... sorry about the spelling mistakes - I'm still tired after the flights!!

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Evripides Apartments for two weeks in September and had a wonderful time. 

On arrival (which was at about 4am) the son of the family, Uri, welcomed us all and said that the bar was open which, after a long journey, was very welcome.  Before a drink however we dropped all our luggage off in our room which was clean and tidy and the view from our studio was very nice, we could see the sea, the pool and the mountains from our balcony. 

A few people were concerned by the fact that we had to hand our passports in but I have since learnt that this is standard in all European accommodation and is compulsory procedure issued by the police.

The pool was lovely and clean and there was always a free sun bed to relax on.  Also, the bar next to the pool was brilliant - well stocked and well run.  There is Sky TV as well which you are free to use.  One thing I liked was how relaxed the bar atmosphere was and also how relaxed the opening hours were - basically it stays open until there is no-one left to serve. 

The Evripides Village is run by a family who are all extremely friendly and helpful.  Nikos, the owner even went swimming with us one night and then congratulated us all with an ouzo.  Denise, Nikos's wife was just as friendly as was the aforementioned Uri who, although not a very good chess player was a legend in his own right.  Nikos's mum also helps out.  Generally, the family all help out throughout the days and nights.  The grounds are well kept and the plants and shrubs all add to the picturesque feel to the place.

The location of the Evripides Village was just about right for us.  It is situated about two and a half miles away from the town of Kardamena (pronounced car-dam-enner) which itself is a lovely resort.  We went into town most days and nearly every night and usually caught the bus which runs regularly and only costs 1 euro each way and takes less than 15 minutes.  The last bus back at night was at 11.40pm.  We did take a taxi into town a few times which cost 6 euros but often there would be someone to share with making it 1.5 euros each.  We did walk into and out of town a few times and it is a very pleasant walk right along the sea front.  There is a beach at the end of the driveway but it isn't the best - a 10 minute walk however is all it takes to find a more sandy offering.

Overall I would highly recommend these apartments and studios as they have provided me with one of the best all round holidays I have ever had.  Hopefully I will return one day if not only for the charm of the place, but to give Uri another thrashing at chess!

Enjoy.
