Dias Studios & Apartments

1 reader found this review helpful

The Dias apartments are very well situated for all Bars, Restaurants, shops and supermarkets. Although 10 to 15 minutes walk from the beach this is a pleasant stroll which allows you to see areas of the resort you might not visit.
The Dias is very clean and the staff attentive and helpful, rooms are cleaned most days and are also large for Greek standards. The restaurant is one of the best places to eat in Kalamaki with Michaelos a close second. This restaurant is on the main road to Zante Town just turn left at the top of Kalamaki main street and keep walking for about 750metres and it is on your left. You can't miss it.
Back to the Dias. The pool is small but more than adequate with a very well run pool bar. The apartments and restaurant are run by the Koltoukis family who are helpful, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Labros the son runs nearly everything with the efficiency we have come to expect when travelling to these Islands. His mother and father are mainly in the restaurant which as I have said is excellent value and the food and service second to none.
Kalamaki itself has more than enough snackbars, restaurants, tavernas and shops to please most people and the beach is large, clean and safe. Getting around the island is possible by moped, hire car or bus and as you would expect dozens of excursions either by boat or coach. Shop around in the resort as your reps prices will be much higher for exactly the same trip. Enjoy your Holiday

Dias studios are set quite far away from the busy resort centre of Faliraki.
The studios are run by a lovely family, who are very friendly and helpful. Mammas cooking is amazing! There is a 24 hour bar downstairs which serves everything from draught beer to fish bowls! Prices are fairly cheap too.
The rooms are clean, linen change twice a week, but the rooms are VERY basic. Air con is essential, as it is very hot at night.
The pool is clean with lots of sun loungers. There is a fab shaded seating area outside too.
Music is played around the pool all day, take your own CD's they will play them if you ask.
Go everywhere in Faliraki by Taxi, usually 5 euro. It’s too far and in July was way too hot to walk.
I would recommend this place to groups of people, couples, and families with older children.
Not really the type of accommodation for people with small children or older couples. People with disabilities may find it difficult here as there are no lifts and its set on 3 floors. Do not come here for a peaceful time either as it is a "2wentys" complex, so lots of noisy revellers late at night.
I went with my boyfriend and loved it here, would definitely go back again. Yamas Uncle Bill!

This was the first time I had been to Greece, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The hotel was really nice and the staff were amazing and really made you feel welcomed.
We stayed for two weeks and it went far too quickly, so I will definitely be going again.
The weather was fantastic and the beach is only a 10 minute walk from the hotel. There is everything you need from a holiday right on your doorstep.
We did a couple of the excursions (the boat ride, and the trip to the water park) and they are both really good value. The boat ride was fantastic, the views were breathtaking although the water was a little cold!

Our holiday at the Dias last September was the best holiday ever. The rooms were nice and cleaned every day.
The food in the dining room was excellent and the staff everywhere was really friendly. My husband’s birthday was while on holiday and Labros held a karaoke and disco. everyone young and old had a great time with Nikos and Tacas.
We partied all night and sun bathed all day. We would recommend the Dias to everyone and look forward to visiting this year.

Had the time of my life it was a girly holiday 4 girls all 17. First girly holiday for us all. Was a little scary first time wed done it all on our own.
But the hotel was great it was owned but a family who made us very welcome. We got up about 10 sometimes 11 depending on the nitre before really the weather was absolutely gorgeous.
Then wed go and get our glad rags on and hit the town around bout 9- 10 ish the main strip was the place to be starting at posers bar and ending up at bunnies then heading to the night club early hours in the morning q club.
Overall fantastic holiday would definitely go again.

Dias is a fantastic place to stay when on holiday, I mean this was the first time I’ve been to Greece and I enjoyed it that much at Dias that we are going again.
The staff are amazing and I can guarantee that once you have been there you are most likely to go again. the meals are fantastic, (they was that good that us lot always ate there) the lads make you laugh, Labros, Nikos and Takis. All very popular with the gals.
The beach is only a ten minute walk away and the weather is brilliant, (well compared to England any way).
Definitely worth visiting, even if it is only for a meal you’ll want to go back, and if Dias is said to be the god of all gods, they definitely chose the right name.
See ya soon lads!xx
