Kavos Psarou Studios & Apartments

Really great hosts! We enjoyed our stay here and we had a beautiful view of the ocean. I would recommend this hotel to anyone!

Everything was perfect… not one complaint.. Great hosts… hidden gem

We stayed at two different properties on the island and this was by far the best. The area is quiet and peaceful and far from Laganas. The hosts are amazing and we appreciated their kind hospitality.

Kavos Psarou is nothing short of a paradise. The apartments of Nikos and Kiki are down a dirt track that leads to a secluded place a stone's throw from a private beach. The sound and smell of the sea is ever-present, and the view unfolds endlessly from your window to the horizon. Befriend the local cats, let Nikos make you a cappuccino cremoso in the morning, and wander around the local area, sampling delicious Greek cuisine. The best thing about Kavos Psarou is the people who run it: It's a family business that above all makes you feel welcome and puts you at ease. Nikos will greet you with a smile on his face, help you with a friendly manner, and happily answer your questions even if you feel you are being incessant and annoying. Kiki, his mother who lives in the family home nearby the guest apartments, will be as a grandmother to your children, and as a mother to you, so that, by the end of your stay, you will no longer be sure whether you are leaving or returning home. As noted, the location is relatively remote as there is virtually no public transport on the island, so unless you want to stay in the local area for the duration of your stay, or hire a cab every day, you will need to hire a car so that you can drive through the beautiful nature of the island and visit its best beaches. Cabs from the airport are ~£30.

This property and the owners are absolutely divine. They belive Zakynthos is a very special place and so this rubs off on you when you stay. There is an overwhelming atmosphere of peace and serenity purposefully curated by Nikos and his family. It is right on the water and close to many taverns. Nikos can also help you arrange any tours you need. 15/10

I have just returned from a week in this gorgeous place and I'd love to go straight back. The villas are lovely and the views are amazing. Nikos and his mother Kiki are so welcoming and you do leave feeling like part of the family. The area is quiet. We walked for 4 days around the immediate area and then Nikos arranged to have a car delivered for the last 2 days which was great as the roads were so quiet at this time of year and we got to see more of this beautiful island. One tip though would be to book earlier in October as a lot of places had shut down for the winter as it was a quieter area of the island.

hi nikos and kiki, sorry we didn't get to say goodbye. we enjoyed our short stay with you. You have a wonderful relaxing place to stay , away from all the busy and crowded town. you made us feel very welcome and if we visit zante again will definatelly come and see you. thanks again Anthony and Beverley

Stayed here for a fortnight in September, in one of the simple apartments. Though simple all that was needed was catered for and the bed was very comfortable. Apartment cleaned and bedding etc changed every 3 days or so. Owner Nikos and his mother Kiki were lovely hosts happy to have a conversation but never over fussy. The place is fairly remote and isn't in Alykes more 5k or so outside if you're a walker you can walk to town in an hour or so. But if you are looking for nightlife this isnt the place for you. If however, you're looking for an oasis of peace and tranquillity you couldn't find a better place. The pebble beach you'll have more or less to yourself most of the time and the waters are clear and warm. With maybe five or so good taverna's or restaurants within 10- or 15-minutes' walk. Really enjoyed our stay and if simple peace and quiet is your type of holiday couldn't recommend highly enough.

We stayed here for two weeks this June and all I can say is wow! Everything about this place is perfect. We stayed in one of the beach front villas and it was amazing. Everything you need is there. The bed is super comfortable, the shower is powerful and the kitchen is fully equipped. The patio area is furnished and you have your own sun loungers on the grass just outside. The villa and surrounding areas are spotlessly clean. What's very hard to describe is the view from the villas. The pictures just don't do it justice! It is absolutely stunning and the sunsets are so beautiful. Access to the beach is down a short path where there are steps down on to the pebble beach. The water you'll be lucky enough to swim in is crystal clear and just the right temperature to cool down in but not be cold. It was so nice that husband, who would always prefer a pool if possible, has completely changed his mind after swimming here. I would recommend you bring swimming/snorkeling shoes with you. The location of the villas is remote which is one of the things we loved about it. It is so quiet, the perfect place to relax. There are a couple of tavernas close by. I would recommend Bougarini Tavern just opposite the mini market, and highly recommend Armonia Restaurant. The level of service provided here is second to none. From the minute I contacted Nikos about booking he was so helpful and quick to respond. He arranged taxis for us to/from the airport and another couple of times during our stay, as well as boat hire. Our flight over was delayed so we were really late arriving, but Nikos was there to greet us regardless and show us around the villa. He also runs the snack bar where we had some lovely food and beers, and is a wealth of knowledge about the area. Kiki is possibly one of the nicest, most welcoming people I think I've met. She will do anything to make your stay as lovely as possible, including opening her home to you while she provides homemade lemoncello and fresh veg from her garden! She has an obvious love for her home and the nature that surrounds it, it's contagious! It really is very hard to put into words just how amazing this place is. If you get the opportunity to go, jump at it. You won't regret it!
