Yannis Aparthotel - (Accommodation in Ipsos)

The Yiannis Hotel is on a small hill set back from the main road. It takes no more than five minutes to walk to reception from the road, maybe 200 metres. However, this location means that you will not be disturbed by any noisy sea-front revellers.
Yiannis has an excellent pool, with lots of free sunbeds, and a poolside bar offering really good food at modest prices. The greek salad is best value, but burgers & chips & ice-creams are OK too. Beer is cold, slightly more expensive than the sea-front bars, but it won't break you.
Yiannis has rooms on three floors, in three linked buildings. Because of the hillside location, they are at varying levels, with clean wide stairways and open corridors. Rooms are basic, but quite adequate. Marble floors, white walls, high ceilings, a toilet & shower, a wardrobe, and two beds. Nearly all have a balcony with a sea-view. It is very pretty, with plants growing up the sides, well maintained gardens, and no litter.
Breakfast is a self-service mix of ham & eggs, toast & jams, cereals, tea & coffee. They tend to close promptly at 10am, so pack an alarm clock.
We loved it, and would go again. Staff were great. Only problem is, it's booked to Olympic, and their reps are parasites after your cash. The Olympic trips are a rip-off, over-priced, under-friendly, crowded waste of time. Better to make your own arrangements for all off-site entertainment. Ipsos is full of cheap restaurants, good bars, and helpful hire shops. The watersports are excellent value, all the usual stuff.

Hi Val. It sounds like they've changed the Olympic rep. We had a man called Niel, he was awful. He would listen to your complaint, promise to sort it out, wait a few days, then ask for more details, then say how sorry he was, then laugh his head off behind your back. In short, he simply ignored the problem. In thew end I complained about him. Maybe it worked, he might have been moved on.
