Escape to Paradise: Tsertos Apartments Await in Stunning Kamena Vourla, Greece
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're about to dive headfirst into the turquoise embrace of Kamena Vourla and the supposed paradise of Tsertos Apartments. Forget glossy brochures and robotic reviews, I'm going to give you the real, unvarnished truth, with all the messy, rambling beauty of life itself.
Escape to Paradise: Tsertos Apartments – Does it Actually Deliver?
Let's be brutally honest, finding the perfect getaway is like hunting for a unicorn. But listen, Tsertos Apartments in Kamena Vourla, Greece, promises paradise. Does it deliver? Well, let's unpack that suitcase of expectations, shall we?
First Impressions: The Arrival & Accessibility – Is it a Pain or a Breeze?
Okay, real talk: getting there. They offer airport transfer, which is a HUGE win. Saves you the taxi stress, especially if you’re arriving (like me) bleary-eyed from a red-eye. And the free parking on-site? Chef's kiss. Especially since I was paranoid about my rental car, as usual. They've got a car park, and you’re golden.
Now, accessibility. The website claims facilities for disabled guests. I didn’t personally need them on this trip, but I did poke around. Elevators, blessedly. Some rooms are specifically designed for accessibility, which is great – because let's be real, nobody wants to climb a million stairs after a long flight. This is a big point to check on before you book if you need these amenities, folks.
The Digs: Rooms That Sigh "Relax," or Just "Meh?"
Inside the rooms, things are… varied. My room? Nice enough. Not jaw-dropping luxury, but clean, comfortable, and definitely a place I’d happily collapse after a day of sun-soaking.
- The Good: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Yes! And it actually works, which is a small miracle. Air conditioning? Essential. A mini-fridge for my emergency supplies of water and overpriced Greek yogurt (don't judge!). They did offer a laptop workspace, which came in handy and a great reading light.
- The Not-So-Good: The decor is a little… standard. Okay, it's a bit dated. Think beige. But hey, who spends their whole holiday staring at the walls? However, I am a little disappointed about the lack of a balcony to enjoy my coffee on.
- Bonus Points: They include bathrobes. I love a bathrobe. instantly make you feel fancy, even thought I'm wearing it at breakfast. Also, blackout curtains were my saving grace.
Cleanliness and Safety – Are They Taking it Seriously?
This is HUGE, especially post-global-crisis. I was genuinely impressed. They're serious about cleanliness. They use anti-viral cleaning products, everything felt spotless. They've got a doctor/nurse on call, first aid kit, and hand sanitizer everywhere. Rooms are sanitized between stays. This is big in my book!
Dining & Drinking: Fueling the Fun or Fueling the Frustration?
Okay, food! This is where things got interesting (and sometimes a little… confusing).
- The Restaurant (s): They have a restaurant and a poolside bar. The main restaurant offers a buffet – breakfast and a la carte options. The buffet was… well. The international cuisine was kinda bland. The greek cuisine was nice, nothing particularly amazing.
- Poolside Bar: The drinks were generous. And watching the sun dip below the Aegean Sea while sipping a questionable cocktail… absolute bliss. They have a happy hour, which I may or may not have taken FULL advantage of.
- The Coffee Shop: The coffee was… okay. I'm a coffee snob, I admit it. But it was easily rectified with a (very) long walk to get a decent espresso.
- Alternative meal arrangements: They said they could accommodate alternative meal arrangements. I didn't need to use it, but it’s a nice touch.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax - Beyond the Beach
Ah, the raison d'être of a holiday. Do you want to just laze on the beach? Fine. But if you're like me and get a little restless, here's the deal:
- The Pool: Beautiful outdoor pool. Pool with a view? I think so! I loved it. I spent a good portion of the day there, just floating. Just pure joy.
- The Spa/Sauna: They have a spa! And a sauna, a steamroom, and treatments on offer. I got a massage one afternoon. It was divine. My muscles thanked me.
- Fitness Center: They DO have a gym. I may or may not have visited it, I did, however, walk an awful lot.
- For the Kids: Family/child friendly and offer babysitting, kids facilities, kids meals. I didn't experience this, but I saw a LOT of little kids, so I'm assuming it lives up to it's billing.
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
- Daily housekeeping? Essential. My room was always magically tidy when I returned each day.
- Laundry service: Really handy for getting rid of those embarrassing food stains.
- Concierge: They were super helpful with recommendations and bookings. Top marks.
- Cashless payment service: Excellent. I prefer not to handle cash, so this was great.
Getting Around: Getting Out & About
They offer airport transfer and taxi service. Easy peasy.
Now, the Quirks and the Rambles!
Okay, so I was REALLY looking forward to a body scrub. But, it wasn't. They had a "body wrap" . I found it on the website and decided to give it a go. Oh, it was weird, I felt like a hot-dog. Also, one morning the breakfast buffet ran out of my favorite yogurt. The HORROR. But, the staff rushed to top it up. Small things but they matter. One more little quirk: They said they were a Hotel Chain. That wasn't something I saw.
So, the Verdict: Is It Paradise?
No, Tsertos Apartments isn't perfect. But is it a fantastic base for exploring Kamena Vourla and enjoying some serious R&R? Absolutely. It’s clean, comfortable, and the staff are genuinely friendly and helpful. Plus, the pool is idyllic.

Escape to Paradise: Lafeya Oasis Awaits in Abuja
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously color-coded itinerary. This is a living, breathing, slightly caffeinated, and definitely opinionated account of my week at Tsertos Apartments in Kamena Vourla, Greece. Prepare for a bumpy ride.
Tsertos Apartments: Kamena Vourla, Greece - A Week of Questionable Choices (But Mostly Good Vibes)
Day 1: Arrival. Or, The Odyssey Begins… With a Flat Tire (Almost)
- Morning: Arrived at Athens airport, ready to channel my inner sun-worshipper. Rented a… well, a car. Let's just say it wasn’t exactly the chariot of the gods. More like a slightly rusty tin can on wheels. The rental guy, a man whose smile looked permanently stuck from a recent Botox appointment, gave me the keys and a vague wave towards the exit. And then disaster nearly struck. As I was trying to leave the car park. BOOM! A tyre had decided to go straight to hell. After a frantic half-hour, and with the help of a very patient (and incredibly hot) parking attendant, we got the spare on and I was on my way, a little more sweaty, but definitely alive.
- Afternoon: The drive. Oh, the drive. Beautiful, undeniably, with hills and the sea sparkling like a cheap disco ball. But also slightly terrifying. Greek roads are a lawless land, governed by a complex set of rules I clearly didn’t understand. Lane markings? More like suggestions. Speed limits? Probably posted somewhere, but definitely not adhered to. Managed to navigate my way to Kamena Vourla without killing anyone, myself included. Found Tsertos Apartments. It’s charmingly… rustic? Let's go with that. The balcony offers a view that’s stunning. Seriously, it almost made me forget I’d nearly died on the highway.
- Evening: Settled in. Unpacked (or, more realistically, threw everything vaguely in a closet). Walked to the beach. First impressions? Pebbles. Everywhere. My feet are going to pay the price for this. Found a taverna, ordered grilled octopus (which looked a bit like a rubber alien until I put it in my mouth) and local wine. The wine was good. Very, very good. Almost as good as the feeling of utter exhaustion finally hitting me. Passed out before 10 pm. The jet lag is real, people.
Day 2: The Beach, the Bakery, and the Questionable Souvlaki
- Morning: Woke up to the sun (again!) and a chorus of cicadas that sounded like a million tiny chainsaws. Coffee on the balcony, watching the world wake up. Bliss.
- Late Morning: Attempted to be a beach person. Failed. After 20 minutes of trying to settle on a sunbed, and getting pebble-ed on the beach, I gave up and retreated to the shade. Contemplated my life choices. The sea is beautiful though. Clear, turquoise, just begging to be swum in. I waded in.. the water was freezing!! And the sea floor was slippery as hell. Briefly considered giving up altogether.
- Afternoon: Found a bakery (thank god for bakeries). Seriously, the pastries are worth the trip alone. Devoured approximately three spanakopitas and a slice of something that vaguely resembled an orange-flavored sun.
- Evening: Souvlaki. Oh, the souvlaki. Ordered from a place that looked promising. The meat was… dry. The pita bread was… stiff. The tzatziki was… bland. I blame my exhaustion from the morning. I should have trusted my gut. Emotional reaction: Disappointment. Deep, profound disappointment. Ended the night with a gelato, which, thankfully, restored some faith in humanity.
Day 3: Thermopylae, History, and a Very Long Walk (My Legs Are Killing Me)
- Morning: Decided to embrace the “culture” part of vacation. Drove to Thermopylae, site of the legendary battle. Saw the statue of Leonidas. Felt a vague sense of awe, followed by a strong urge to nap. The history is fascinating, but it's hot out there! A truly beautiful sight, though.
- Afternoon: Explored Kamena Vourla town. The place is crawling with cats. So many cats! Tiny ones, fluffy ones, grumpy ones. Spent a good half hour trying to befriend a particularly aloof tabby. Failed. I think I'm the problem. Strolled along the beach, bought some (slightly overpriced) souvenirs.
- Evening: Dinner at a taverna overlooking the harbor. Seafood platter. Much better than the souvlaki. The sunset? Epic. Utterly, breathtakingly epic. The colour of the water was unlike anything I'd seen before. Got a bit tipsy on the local wine, gossiped with the other apartment guests who, by now, had become my mates.
- Observation: I really, REALLY need to start packing light. My suitcase is a black hole of random clothes I’ll never wear.
Day 4: The Spa Day (or, Attempting to Relax)
- Morning: Decided to be fancy. Booked a spa treatment at a nearby hotel. Massages, face masks, the whole shebang. Felt utterly ridiculous ordering such things, but went with it.
- Afternoon: Managed to get a swim in after the massage. It felt wonderful!
- Evening: Dinner at a taverna. The view was spectacular. The food was okay. The company was better.
Day 5: A Boat Trip and the Unexpected Snorkelling Disaster
- Morning: Booked a boat trip to a cove. We were promised crystal-clear waters and hidden beaches. The water did look inviting!
- Afternoon: Snorkelling adventure. Put on the flippers and mask, and dived in. I don’t know what I was doing wrong. So much water went into my mask. It was like trying to breathe underwater through a leaking faucet. I panicked. Flailing, coughing, and spitting seawater. Went back to the boat defeated.
- Evening: Sulking. Seriously, I’m going to consider myself a failure forever.
- Observation: Still can't decide which one of the apartments is the best.
Day 6: The Day of the Monastery (and a Near-Miss with a Mule)
- Morning: Decided to be brave. Found one of the most famous monasteries near Kamena Vourla. The roads are narrow, twisty, and barely exist in places. The view from the monastery was superb.
- Afternoon: Almost run over by a mule. I mean, not really. It was more of a tense standoff. I was walking on a narrow mountain path, taking in the stunning scenery, when suddenly, WHAM, mule. It seemed to have an attitude.
- Evening: Back to the tavernas. Back to the wine. Back to the feeling of happiness.
- Observation: The number of cats. In the town, they are always there. In the trees, on the roofs, by the restaurants, staring at me and judging.
Day 7: Departure. Or, Saying Goodbye to the Sun (and the Cats)
- Morning: Packed (with a heavy heart and a suitcase full of pebbles). Had one last coffee on the balcony, soaking up that view. Ate my last spanakopita. Said goodbye to the cats.
- Afternoon: The drive back to Athens airport. The car, still running, somehow. Said a mental thank you to the deities and the mechanics, for making it this far.
- Evening: Flight home. Tired. Sore. Slightly sunburned. But also, undeniably, happy. Kamena Vourla, you messy, beautiful, slightly chaotic place, you were wonderful. I’ll be back. And next time, I’ll master the snorkel. Maybe. Probably not. But I'll be back.
Final Thoughts (and some random rambles):
- Would I recommend Tsertos Apartments? Yes. They’re not perfect, they're more than a little rough around the edges, but they have charm. And the view? Worth every pebble-filled step.
- Key takeaways: Learn some Greek. Get good at the art of sun protection. And, most importantly, embrace the chaos. That’s where the magic happens.
- And the cats? May your lives be long and your naps undisturbed. I’m going to miss you, you furry little tyrants.
- One last thing: The souvlaki. I’m still angry about the souvlaki.
So there you have it. My slightly disorganised, completely honest account of a week in Kamena Vourla. Book your trip to the Tsertos Apartments, if you dare. The adventure to the sun, and the cats, awaits.
