Well another wonderful holiday in Salanti is almost over. It has been a privilege and a joy - and Spiros and Sophia as always marvellous hosts.
Caroline S. arrived 11th July 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Apollon this summer the villa is beautiful and extremely well equipped and the views absolutely some of the best we have had in Greece. The owners had thought of everything and were so kind.
I think the only thing I would like to mention is that the lane to the villa is extremely steep and this stopped us really being able to walk down to the little beach as going back up is exhausting, lots of stops required!
The service we received from Pretty Greek Villas was fantastic, from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble Marie- Louise was so very helpful. The transfers were easy, the cars and drivers were immaculate and the cars comfortable for the journey.
We will definitely book with yourselves again and I’m cross with myself for never discovering you before now !
Katy C-W. arrived 12th August 2023

Simon B. arrived 14th May 2023
We had a fantastic time thank you. The villa was beautiful, and the location and view breathtaking. As always, Spiros and Sofia were exceptional hosts and were on hand whenever needed. We were even treated to two homemade dinners from Sofia which made the whole experience even more magical. Thanks as always to you, Marie-Louise, and the PGV team for seamless booking and support. We are now looking forward to our next PGV holiday in Kefalonia next month!
Pippa S. arrived 3rd September 2022
Amazing location, views to die for, wonderful and well appointed property. Lovely to be welcomed with a large bowl of fruit, a cake and other essentials. The hosts were vey helpful (replaced the gas for us, and supplied another cake!). The villa was clean and well appointed throughout. We'd definitely use you again if we are considering returning to Greece.
Dicken K. arrived 20th August 2022
We had a wonderful 2 week holiday and Villa Apollon was everything we hoped for and more. What a beautiful property and location, and Sophia and Spiros were so kind waiting for us to arrive till 1:45am, and providing us with essential things on our arrival and during our stay.
Uonna A. arrived 13th August 2022
We had a fantastic time at Apollon Villa! Sofia and her husband were very kind and welcoming and the villa was exceptionally clean and well maintained.

Dream Villas in the Peloponnese
Rented the villas Artemis and Apollon in July 2021 with 2 families through Pretty Greek Villas. In advance we received extensive information about our destination, including directions and all things worth knowing about the area. After the warm welcome and tour by owner Spiros and his wife Sophia, our (high) expectations turned out to be fully realized. Two dream villas, perfectly furnished on every point you can think of, with a lovely terrace, outdoor kitchen, garden, swimming pool and a view you can't get enough of. The refrigerator turned out to be filled with various bottles of water, beer and a bottle of wine. The fruit bowl was richly filled with delicious fruit, there was fresh bread and a nice bottle of olive oil from the region.
The quiet location of the villas ensured that we woke up every morning to the sound of the crickets. In the town of Didima, a 15-minute drive by car, we bought freshly baked bread at bakery Kostas every day. And in Kranadi, a 25-minute drive away, we found several larger supermarkets. The cozy and fashionable Porto Heli is about 35 minutes from the villas.
Several pebble beaches can be found in the immediate vicinity of the villas. In our opinion, the nicest beach was at the local Taverna Costa Bianca, where you can also eat well for a reasonable price.
We had an unforgettable week in both villas and we heartily recommend both the PGV travel organization and both villas. PGV and owner Spiros responded very quickly when we needed a doctor in the evening on one of the days. Spiros drove one of our children himself to the (24-hour) medical center in Kranidi where the doctor on duty ensured adequate treatment. When saying goodbye, Spiros and Sophia surprised us with a nice memory of the Villas.
Droom Villas in de Peloponnesos
Met 2 gezinnen in juli 2021 de villas Artemis en Apollon gehuurd via Pretty Greek Villas. Vooraf ontvingen we uitgebreide informatie over onze bestemming inclusief routebeschrijving en alle wetenswaardigheden over de omgeving. Na de hartelijke ontvangst en rondleiding door eigenaar Spiros en zijn vrouw Sophia bleken onze (hoge) verwachtingen volledig bewaarheid geworden. Twee droomvilla’s, op werkelijk alle punten die je kan bedenken perfect ingericht, met een heerlijke terras, buitenkeuken, tuin, zwembad en een uitzicht waar je geen genoeg van kunt krijgen. De ijskast bleek gevuld te zijn met o.a. diverse flessen water, bier en een fles wijn. De fruitschaal was rijkelijk gevuld met heerlijk fruit, er was vers brood en een mooie fles met olijfolie uit de streek.
De rustige ligging van de villas zorgde er voor dat we elke ochtend wakker werden met het geluid van de krekels. In het, op een klein kwartier rijden met de auto, plaatsje Didima kochten we bij bakker Kostas dagelijks vers gebakken brood. En in Kranadi, op ruim 25 minuten rijden, vonden we diverse grotere supermarkten. Het gezellige en mondaine Porto Cheli ligt op ongeveer 35 minuten van de villa’s.
In de directe omgeving van de villa’s zijn diverse kiezelstranden te vinden. Het leukste strandje lag wat ons betreft bij de lokale Taverna Costa Bianca, waar je ook prima kan eten voor een redelijke prijs.
We hebben met elkaar een onvergetelijke week gehad in de beide villa’s en bevelen zowel de reisorganisatie PGV als beide villas’s van harte aan. PGV en eigenaar Spiros reageerden heel snel toen we op één van de dagen s’avonds een dokter nodige hadden. Spiros reed één van onze kinderen zelf naar het (24 -uurs) medisch centrum in Kranidi waar de dienstdoende arts zorgde voor een adequate behandeling. Bij het afscheid verraste Spiros en Sophia ons nog met een leuke herinnering aan de Villas.
Alexia W. arrived 6 August 2020
Thank you for your email. We had a wonderful time in Villa Apollon! It was the perfect escape for us and hope to return soon!
Sarah F. arrived 27 July 2020
We would love to stay in touch. It’s been a pleasure dealing with your company and we very much admired your stance on not demanding the remainder of our payment until flights had started landing from the UK. On that alone we would have asked you to transfer our deposit to a property for next year. It was also very easy to organise the second villa from my brothers family in full confidence that you could locate a property nearby.
Our villa was really lovely, every aspect just perfect. It was fabulous and we shall use you again.

Madalina M. arrived 31th Aug 2019
We had great time in Greece. It was first time for us in Peloponese.
We like to discover different part of Greece and because of this reason we chose Peloponese. It was a surprise for us. The house and the view were beautiful. I can say the house was one of the most beautiful we ever stayed in Greece. The hosts were very nice and helpful. In fact we communicate with Spiros in my language. This was a good surprise... We discovered Hydra . The most beautiful island we have ever seen. We also visited Napflio, Ermioni and Sparta.
But out holiday was beautiful and finished too soon...
For sure will come back....
Thank you very much for everything

Charlotte J. arrived 20th Oct 2018
We had an amazing week in the Peloponnese. The villa was sensational- probably one of the best we have ever stayed in- and lots of lovely gifts ( a cake, olive oil, tomatoes, pomegranates) from Sofia and Spiros on our arrival. It was very quiet- and Salanti Bay was one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. We swam every day (despite it being nearly November the sea was warm. The kids loved the pool too). The beaches are really exceptionally beautiful and deserted at this time of year. The weather was mixed but much warmer than England and we had three good days of sun. The taverna was shut- but the villa was so nice that we preferred to stay in and play games. It felt quite remote and Didyma was a bit underwhelming but everywhere else we went was fabulous: Epidaurus, Napoleon, Porto Heli. Even off season there was so much to do. But the Peloponnese remains one of the great unspoilt regions of Greece. We would definitely revisit this area and use Pretty Greek villas again. Everything from booking to car hire and information provided was great. And the standard of properties is exceptional. We had an amazing holiday and the villa was incredible. Thanks for
looking after us so well

Sue L. arrived 09th Sept 2018
Staying at Apollon was a wonderful experience. The view of course is outstanding and the quality and cleanliness of the villa itself was perfect. The welcome cake and goodies were such a homely and generous touch and much appreciated. I can't think of any way that the owners could improve our experience. The change of towels and bedding midweek was much appreciated.
Please do thank owners because they were absolutely great.
Looking forward to booking with Pretty Greek again in the future.
Many thanks

Amanda McL. arrived 25th Aug 2018
Many thanks for all your help with the arrangements for our holiday which is much appreciated. Thank you also for the information details about Villa Apollon and for your help in making our holiday at Villa Apollon such a success. It is a fabulous place.
Everything ran so smoothly from the moment we arrived in Athens airport to be met by Vassilis to our car delivery back to the airport at the end of the holiday. We loved our brief stay at the St George Lycabettus and appreciated your recommendation and also the delivery of our hire car to the hotel. Fiona had a very relaxed journey to the airport with Kostas.
Thank you to you all at Pretty Greek Villas for all your hard work behind the scenes and for making our holiday so relaxed and emjoyable.
With best wishes.

Camilla Ch. arrived 11th Aug 2018
We loved staying at Villa Apollon because the views were stunning and the villa was clean, functional and air-conditioned ! Really lovely part of the Pelopennese and the people were all so very lovely at the nearby taverna and shops . It was a great experience overall !
The hosts/hostess - Sophie and Spiros were really helpful despite their lack of English and the food / water left for us were very much
appreciated especially after such a long day for us getting to the villa. Excellent Nespresso maching and one for making frothy milk. Outside dinning area was really nice and shaded. Very nice toiletries which was unexpected. The change over with cleaning in the middle of the week was great.
Especially with fresh towels and cleaning of the bathrooms. Excellent job!
PGV team was very helpful and flexible when I first booked the
villa and with queries, so please keep that liaison up even after we have paid for the villa. Local suggestions of which towns to visit was
reallygood.

Adam Br. arrived 24th Sept 2017
Our stay at Apollon was really lovely indeed, we will certainly return in future. The overall experience was overwhelmingly positive. Sofia and Spiros were magnificent hosts and Apollon was better than I had hoped, more spacious than appears on pictures and really well stocked and furnished. Further, to provide Sounds of the Sea for our departure day (due to a late flight from Athens) when there was no obligation to do so was generous and kind beyond expectation.
The communication between PGV and myself and information provided prior to arrival was also very good. Many thanks for a great holiday.

Kate Gl. arrived 22th July 2017
Our ten days staying at Villa Apollon can only be described as idyllic. Situated near the top of a hill the view is breathtaking -
looking out over a bright blue sea and misty mountains with the charming harbour of Kilada just visible in the distance. The villa itself is absolutely fabulous - very modern but traditional at the same time. Everything works beautifully, from the powerful showers to the air-conditioning and the very well equipped kitchen. The house is full of light and feels spacious - there was plenty of room for us and our four children - aged 10 to 17. The infinity pool was an endless source of entertainment and pleasure- especially when it lit up for nighttime swimming! The outdoor eating and cooking area was fully utilised though we didnt get round to using the outdoor cinema screen!!
At first the area seemed very quiet but we soon realised what a
wonderful base it was for exploring. We had a day out on the gorgeous island of Hydra (jumping of the high rocks by the beautiful harbour is highly recommended) and then on Spetses (very pretty, though very busy in July) - the ferry for both was only half hours drive away and the ferry rides not much longer. Porto Heli was only twenty minuets away with its supermarkets and water sports, nearby Krandini has a lovely selection of smaller food shops and bars, Kilada has lots of tavernas and the amazing ancient amphitheatre of Epidavros provided culture! Just visible from the villa (lit up at night) is a huge cave where neolithic remains have been found - well worth a visit, even teenagers were impressed!
But really we didn t need to venture far from the villa because at
the bottom of the hill are a whole succession of beautiful white pebbled beaches, mostly deserted! It only takes ten minuets to walk to them and we spent many happy hours swimming in the crystal clear water, snorkelling and watching hundreds of amazing fish, as well as shell collecting. When we tired of our own company we walked to the tavern (a twenty minute walk from the villa) which has its own beautiful beach with a jetty and umbrellas and which serves fantastic local food.
The tavern staff were so welcoming, we had great fun chatting to the very friendly locals. Spiros and Sophia were wonderful hosts, they were so helpful with everything and Sophia provided a delicious cake on our arrival together with a kitchen full of essentials (like wine and tonic and lemons!) At the end of our ten days we felt like we had had a truly wonderful holiday and we were very sad to say goodbye.
Thank you once again for all your help in giving us such a great ten days,
Kate
Emily St. arrived 8th July 2017
We had a lovely time at Apollon. It is a very special villa in a beautiful place. It is hard to think of anything that could be improved. The hosts were very welcoming and we loved the two cakes she baked for us. That was a great touch. The house was beautifully appointed and very clean and the pool is beautiful. It would have been great to have a toaster in the house. We loved our stay there and we would certainly recommend you to friends of ours and we will also consider using you again ourselves in the future.
Best wishes

Charlotte H. arrived 8th June 2017
A huge thank you to yourselves and Sofia from Apollon. Apollon is the most beautiful and comfortable place we have ever had the privilege to stay at. The view was breathtaking and the place is completely away from it all, so other than the bread man coming around we never even heard a car, it is so peaceful and relaxing. There was plenty nearby to explore and we had a few lovely trips out to local places and the islands, but it was very hard to tear oneself away from the beauty and comfort of the place. The villa itself is exceptional, from the overall simple clean design to the beautiful personal finishing touches, everything has been thought of and finished with love, making it so comfortable, we really didn't want to go home (which we normally do!). Other than the obvious view and salt water pool, a few other things we miss are the wonderful fluffy soft thick bathroom towels, lovely crisp sheets, the Siberian goose down pillows and definitely not forgetting the delicious home made
cake for our little boy and olive oil and wine for us! The place is
truly idyllic and a huge thank you to Sofia and her husband for all the
love she/they have clearly put into this place, it has definitely been
our best ever family holiday (which I was not expecting with a 4 yr old
and 4 month old) and we certainly hope to be able to return. Thank you again, this is a very special place indeed and we had a truly wonderful holiday.
We would highly recommend yourselves and Apollon or Artemis villa to anyone. Thank you so very much, truly idyllic.
