Istiaia Vacation Rentals

"This is a new property that featured great views and a modern design. Rooftop bar very nice and fun bartenders. Downsides included not being able to get into room late at night as key wasn’t working. Second time key malfunctioned. My husband left a family party to let me in. His key worked. Otherwise, we would have been locked out all night since there was no one on duty. Bartender tried to call manager, no answer. Also, no one on duty to check us out at 8:15 am. I think the hotel can improve its service. "

"Staff excellence."

"Beautiful views of the sea. Great atmosphere created by the owners ( 2 sets of brothers) who leave no stone u turned to please. Excellent experience I highly recommend. "

"Sea, crystal clear, however, not recommended for those seeking sandy beaches, as it is rocky Property spotless clean, needs (maybe) some minor updating, although as it is, is absolutely fine Large rooms with breathtaking views, from the balcony, of the Pagasitic sea and the sunset Close proximity for a day trip to Trikeri and Agia Kuriakn, for fresh fish, sea urchins and lobsters and to nearby Argalasti, for fresh mountain air and good souvlaki under the platania in the village square "

"Pros: very friendly staff (felt almost at home), good dining options (buffet, restaurant, bar), free transport to the local beaches (Koukounaries and Maratha) Cons: no lifts. It was difficult to get the pram 3 stairs up and down at least 2-3 times a day. No inclusivity for disabled as well (I've done a reservation for my parents in law, which i had to cancel - received a full refund for this- because there was other means of disabled people to get to different levels. I was disappointed for a 5star hotel, not to have a provision for disabled. Not recommended for families with small kids that have got prams or people with moving difficulties."

"We had a fantastic time. Exceptionally friendly staff and great place to be. We already miss the place and are experiencing post-holiday-blues."

"The place is beautiful but that’s about it. We didn’t know you needed swim caps to get in pool. Not very friendly about that or anything else. Like a ghost town and average age is 80. Which is fine unless you have children like we do."

"Our stay at Evia Bay Resorts was nothing short of wonderful. The room was impressively clean and spacious, providing a refreshing and comfortable retreat, including the massive bathroom! Tucked away in a quiet, serene area, the hotel offers the perfect atmosphere for relaxation without being far from local conveniences. One of the highlights was the beautiful beach, just a short stroll away. Whether you want to sunbathe, swim, or enjoy a peaceful morning walk along the shore, it’s an ideal spot. Additionally, there are several great restaurants within walking distance, making dining out simple and enjoyable without needing a car. What truly made the experience stand out, though, was the pleasant and helpful staff. From check-in to departure, every interaction was warm, professional, and genuinely caring — they made sure every detail was just right. I highly recommend Evia Bay Resorts for anyone looking to unwind in a clean, peaceful setting with easy access to local attractions and the sea."

"The property is beautiful. Private yard and pool. Super well-maintained. Amazing view from living area upstairs. Think ahead for food; we arrived on a Sunday in mid-May and all the markets and most of the restaurants were closed. No dining facilities on site and don’t plan on “walking into town”, as it’s about 1.5 km away and it’s a steep uphill on the way back. Communication had challenges. On the eve of my departure for Greece, I received an email with check-in instructions all in Greek requiring you to send a pre-arrival form, all in Greek, when options to do this all by phone might be limited. Due to network problem in the area, could not reach property by phone. Finally, we established contact on FB messenger and the property manager was able to call me back. When she did, she was wonderfully helpful and polite. Overall pleased, property is lovely once you get there, but do realize it’s in the middle of nowhere with a steep walk to and from the beach and town, and communications can be challenging. "
