A short walk from the
town centre and 10 minutes to the beaches is the family business of
Haris Studios.
Situated on the sea front with views out to the
distant horizon and the mountains in the east we offer a tranquil
place for your holiday where we welcome families, couples and
individuals of all ages, many of whom return each year to enjoy the
simple charm of a holiday in this delightful location.
You will
find us in the 'old town', known locally as Gavdiotika, named after
the many settlers who came here early last century from the island
of Gavdos to make a new life and build their homes, most of which
looked out to their birthplace.

It's easy to see why they would want
to settle on this rocky shoreline and a few of the old stone
houses with their sense of history remain (and a few fine old
characters inhabiting them!!) . Now the view can be enjoyed by
all............
And it's a great view, which eight of our
nine accommodations offer - either a private balcony on the
first floor or a private terrace on the ground floor, all with
table, chairs and sun umbrella. Many hours can be spent here
watching the sun rise from behind
the mountains - enjoying the ferries and fishing boats -
seeing the flash of blue-green from the darting of the
kingfishers - laughing at the local cats (especially our own,
Clio) |
|
foolishly trying to
catch the heron (will they never learn??) - hoping for an
occasional sighting of dolphins - making new dreams as the
fiery full moon slips up out of the sea -sending out wishes
while sitting under the panoply of stars, waiting for a
'shooter'.
All the studios and apartments have a small
well-equipped kitchen, dining area and toilet /shower. We have
a selection of twin, double and family accommodation and all
rooms are serviced daily except a Sunday; linens are changed
regularly - every 4/5 days.
A studio is a
one-room-with-everything plus the toilet/shower and sleeps 2.
An apartment has one bedroom and another room with the
kitchen, dining and a pull down sofa bed, it |
|
sleeps 3, or 4 if another
fold out bed is added - suitable for chiildren. A baby bed is
available but please let us know in advance.
Our rates are
fair for the standard and service; in addition to the sea view rooms
we have a double bed garden studio with price to include breakfast
at our Water's Edge Cafe.
A simple breakfast (Freshly
Squeezed Orange Juice, Tea/Coffee, Boiled Egg, Toast, Butter and
Marmalade) can be added to the cost of our other rooms, just add
2.50 euro per person for each day of the holiday. If you prefer to
have a selection of different breakfast items during your holiday
take a look at the Water's Edge Cafe page - no need to book in
advance, we are there every day! However, we do try and give
preference to our house guests if we are preparing one of our
delicious Saturday night dinners, so do book a table for this
event.
