Seaside Studios Arkasa Karpathos

What a beautiful, quiet and peaceful place! The studios are beautiful and have a terrace overlooking the sea and a terrace overlooking the garden, which is full of fruit trees (from which you can pick ripe fruit!) and flowers. The studios are beautifully furnished and equipped with everything you need for a wonderful stay. The owners are very friendly and helpful and make you feel very welcome! We enjoyed it very much and would love to come back!

We've spent ten summers, in August and sometimes September (in the school holidays) as a family and with many friends in this wonderful place by now and we all love it and return again and again. Summer is the best time for windsurfing, kitesurfing and foil surfing at some beaches not far away because it's usually very windy. And it's a great time for swimming in the waves in the beautiful bay you can see from the balcony from the lovely studios. It's wonderful to watch the magic sunset from the balcony every evening, to sit in the breeze on the beach or on the balcony with the really wonderful sea view or on the terrace under the lovely bougainvillea roof during the day and read a good book or just relax. (And siesta at lunch time under the American style ceiling fan is very enjoyable as well.) For people who like myself are no surfers but like some sports activities very often there are some activities on offer besides swimming, for example sometimes aquaaerobics, sometimes yoga in the mornings. At night it's not too hot and great to sleep (on very comfortable mattresses!) because of the wind blowing through the studios. (Of course you can use air conditioning if you prefer this, but I love the sound of the wind and the waves with open windows. There is perfect mosquito netting and thanks to the wind there are not many mosquitos anyway. No problem to sit outside with a glass of wine and admire the stars at night.) The studios themselves are lovely and situated in a really beautiful garden, a real oasis and something special on Karpathos with an abundance of flowers (e.g. bougainvillea, fragrant frangipani trees, night jasmine greeting you with a lovely smell every evening when coming home from one of the great tavernas in the village nearby), many different fruit trees (I love the figs and pomegranate trees) and a lot more like the grapes and flowers growing around the outdoor shower offering the most romantic shower you've ever enjoyed). And of course most important as are Zaharoula and George, the wonderful hosts. They are great people, help their guests with everything they need (- even giving me some nice clothes when my suitcase didn't arrive last year :) -). They (and Zaharoula's mother as well) make you feel welcome and at home.

Here at seaside studios everything is really beautiful: the amazing garden, the wonderful view of the sea, Arkasa and the other lovely villages of the island… especially Pigadia. These Studios are one of the best we ever had: the interior is comfortable and nice, really everything you need is there, and if not, Zaharoula and Jorgos are there immediately to help you or to make you feel fine again! They are one of the loveliest hosts we ever met! So are the cats, living in the garden. 😍We’re looking forward to come there again!

SeaSide is a small paradise near the sea in Arkasa. Everything is right: friendly owners, a warm welcome, they leave you alone and are quit and helpfull. Beautiful garden, flowers, the other guests are also looking for a quiet and nice plaze. Waking up in the morning because of the singing birds and the sound of the sea. Some cats are living in the garden and they ask you friendly for something to eat, but they go when not. Nice animals. Rooms are extremely clean, nice beds. New towels when you ask for it, not every day: good for the environment.

Super Holiday in Arkasa. We spent two weeks in this Little Eden. And.. we’re missing it so much, Yorgos & Zacharoula are such lovely warm hearted People . We liked the view the surroundings the Garden and of course the cats! Internet is sometimes weak or even not there but that is a common problem on Karpathos Only Pigadia is good. We will be back!

The location of this hotel is great! Living right next to a beautiful sandy beach with a wonderful sunset. In the vicinity of the hotel you also have a beach bar, a restaurant and you can walk to a supermarket within 10 minutes. It is a beautiful, clean and above all cozy hotel that you will immediately fall in love with. The owners are very nice and will help you with everything you need.
