4/10 Fair
1 August 2015
Quite disappointed
Be careful as there are 2 El Greco properties, the luxury which we booked and an older one which we were put in,apparently the luxury one had a big group of Russian's staying with children so the owner thought we would prefer the quieter apartment, but this only had a small splash pool you could not swim in it.The apartment was OK with a small working kitchen,a lounge area and a seperate bedroom but it had 2 single beds and not luxury,I will say the views from the balcony(there were 2 balconies)were beautiful looking out to Agious Nikolous.There was a bus stop just down the small hill from the apartment which was really handy.The village of Istron is rather run down with a lot of closed shops & restaurants,even the El Greco restaurant was shut and just enough supermarkets.The beaches were nice,very windy though.We had unpacked our bags quite late and had got settled so did not bother to ask to move,the next day we went out and got back later so again stayed where we were and in the end we made the most if it,it was ok but very misleading as this was named as El Greco B and you cannot find it on a map anywhere,there is nothing to do in the area,we noticed that other English people arrived later on were put into the older property also.Through our own choice we actually left early,we did see the luxury El Greco and it did look lovely so just be warned.
