Vacation rentals in Krounoi

We had a wonderful time at Elia House! The house was spotless, very neat and exactly as shown in the photos, modern and comfortable. From the very beginning, we felt at home. The location is very convenient for excursions in the area and is also next to the beach that is accessible on foot and is all sandy. We visited the beach, Ancient Olympia, which is very close, we went for a walk in Kaiafas and enjoyed nature. There are also several villages and taverns for nice food and relaxation in the surrounding area. Georgia, the hostess, was very friendly and helpful as she was always willing to help us with whatever we needed. In general, it was a wonderful experience and we will definitely go again since it is only 3 hours from Athens. We recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet and beautiful stay in Ilia and to visit Ancient Olympia.

Mano’s responsiveness and help was remarkable. The house is quite comfortable for up to 8 people. It has everything you want and makes you feel like home! The only two things worth mentioning are: 1) There are a lot of mosquitoes in the area, making it difficult to enjoy the fantastic yard of the house and discouraging everyone needing to go outside for any reason. Having equipped the house with both inside and outside mosquitoes repellents would be a quite important “plus”. 2) The yard is not fully fenced in, so if someone has a dog that tends to wander or does not have good recall, they can easily get outside of the premises of the house.

Christos' home in Krestena is a unique opportunity to experience village life with all the comforts. The house is squeaky clean, organized, comfortable, has good wifi performance, & above all offers the lovely view it advertises. The village is lively & right in the middle of many fascinating locations 20 minutes in all directions with alpine hikes literally outside the door. A visit in spring is a further benefit as the verdant landscape is splashed with colorful wildflowers. We felt comfortable allowing our pre-teen to wander the streets of the village on his own. There is a KTEL station in the town so no need for a car but preferable to explore the wider area. One note: since the area where the house is built on the mountain slope is in an older part of town, the streets are narrow. When arriving at the house for the first time, make sure to follow Christos' instructions rather than the GPS. And for some of the best bread we've had in a long time, head to Spyropoulos Bakery.

The apartment belongs to the beautiful house with garden, which is inhabited by Catherine and her family. The rooms are large and shady, in front of the apartment you can sit well, use a grill and outdoor shower. The famous sunset can be seen through the bushes. The beach is within walking distance: a beautiful bay with loungers and umbrellas, we paid for them by buying drinks and were highly satisfied. The much larger beach can be reached by wading through a shallow river. There was plenty of space there (outside the actual season!!!)- Umbrellas and loungers, but only as an offer for the guests of the large hotel. For shopping and dining, you need a car. Olympia is of particular tourist interest - 30 minutes away by car. We found what we were looking for at Catherine's: quiet, well-kept surroundings, extremely warm hospitality. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

The apartment is well located and nicely furnished including amenities like a coffee machine, washing machine and fast wifi. We felt very much at home here and the hosts were approachable and had great recommendations. We stayed here during the off-season (in May) and the beach directly opposite of the street was full of driftwood and the beach bar closed. So we ended up going to Voidokilias beach most of the time which is roughly 15-20 minutes away and just incredible.

Kostas accommodation is just perfect for a short stay in Olympia. Everything within walking distance. We particularly liked that there are two great restaurants right at the property and you - although quietly located - are only one street away from the main road. So you could go for a nice stroll in the evening after the bus tourists were gone. Kostas greeted us personally, assigned us a parking space and is super friendly. He gives good tips for exploring or can tell you Greek history worth knowing. This saved us from having to hire a guide at the excavation site. In addition, parking on the street is super safe even with luggage in the car. Absolutely recommended accommodation. Thank you Kostas!

It was really all perfect! If you're looking for a few days of rest and relaxation, this is the place to go. Dionysis has thought of every detail – you immediately feel at home. I highly recommend it! Thank you very much 🙏

We were very warmly welcomed by Mina - the mother of Christos. We felt right at home. The garden is very well maintained and fenced - thus perfect for children to play and run. We had an apartment in Upper floor and thus also a great view. Everything was very clean and in very good condition. For the fair price, everything you need to cook was available. If there were any missing utensils, Mina would surely help. There is also a washing machine for common use and Mina even washed our laundry! The beautiful quiet beach with a beach bar/shower/toilet/a few loungers and umbrellas is about a 15-minute walk. There is also plenty of parking there. Taverns are also there - but were closed in April/May. Due to the warm nature of Mina and the wonderful surroundings, we would come back any time!
