Popi Apartments:

The Greek family-run studio and single bedroom blocks which are situated on a side road near the port in a quiet part of Kefalos surrounded by gardens and trees and has a tranquil atmosphere.

Villa Popi has about 14 apartments which are a mixture of twin or double bedded studios and some with single bedrooms in two blocks and each block has two floors which at first seems basic, but are more than worthy of the 2 Key rating it is afforded; they consist of a kitchenette with two cooking rings and fridge, bathroom with shower and wc, and private balcony or terrace.

The first floor studios afford views across the bay of Kefalos of which we can substantiate the claim; ground floor studios look out onto the jungle like garden or pool of which you can watch the sun rise and set, we enjoyed pleasant afternoons seated with a cool drink soaking up the sun.

The apartments were kept very clean even when we left clothing all over the place, the crockery and cutlery was in place, basic but clean, our party had two apartments one studio on the first flour and one single bedroom apartment on the ground level, the apartments were cleaned three or four times a week, towels and bed linens changed twice a week.

The beds in our apartment was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in.

There seemed to be amble supply of the solar heated hot water for showers and washing.

The air conditioning cost 35 euros per week and the room safe deposit box cost 5 euros per week.

The owners live in a small building located in between the two apartment blocks. It was a convenient five-minute walk from the resort centre to the sand & shingle beach a large supermarket and eating places.  

The resort has two lovely swimming pools, sun beds and parasols and a pool bar which serves inexpensive food, ice creams and drinks all day, use of the pool is free.

They showed their pride in their vocation by making the complex so clean and tidy and going out of their way in being helpful.

Kefalas is truly a peaceful hillside town and a great place to relaxation, with its beautiful little harbour and a good choice of shops, bars and restaurants.

We dined at proper Greek restaurant/s as well as your normal ones with Fresh Fish and Greek food, Italian and English and we also tried the same places that Greek families used, all the restaurants we visited were friendly, kind, good, inexpensive and fun.

After reading some of the bad reviews for Villa Popi we were apprehensive about our holiday thankfully we can say they were unfounded (professional complainers).

 

Our Stay was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable holidays ever, we picked this holiday from First Choice to chill out and chill out we did. Thank you Popi and family for making our holiday so enjoyable not forgetting the First Choice Rep.

We stayed at Popi's between 8th August and 23rd August 2007, we booked with first choice. On first impression we felt the appartments were basic, but soon realised we had everything we needed close to hand.

The beds were comfortable and air conditioning worth the money. The cleaning rota was beyond excellent. Each room had an outside area with table and chairs to sit outside with beautiful views.
 
The outside area, complete with two pools and a pool bar was brilliant, we spent alot of time by the pool as we felt it had everything we needed. The small pool is very shallow and perfect for babies, toddlers and small children. The large pool is big enough to have a little swim and for children to play. Plenty of sun beds for everyone. The whole area was cleaned on a regular basis and I have no complaints.
 
The pool bar served cool drinks, local larger at $2 from memory and things like pizza $5, bacon and egg roll, greek salad, chips, burger and chips, tuna salad. A wide range of alcoholic drinks as well as soft drinks. They also had an ice cream freezer with a good range. My 2 year old loved the greek pots of ice cream with a compartment with a toy!
 
The staff, Popi, her husband and daughter are all very friendly and pleasant people. I had read a few reviews before we left about Popi being a 'crazy woman' and abusive to her residents, but this for sure was not the Popi we met!
 
Popi apartments is very close to the beach which has a watersports centre, we loved the ringos at $10 each, the driver of the speed boat let my dad go on the boat to video us so we have great video footage, well worth the money. Opposite the watersports is a small park - ideal for my 2 year old, new equipment was being put up while we were there.
 
Popi's is also close to many bars and resturants, you are spoilt for choice. We settled on Santa Barbara and Sebastians as our favourites and visited them a few times.
 
I would definately love to visit again, sometime soon. Any questions about Popi's please email me - cookie_dough38@hotmail.com
