Aphroditi Studios & Apartments

Magda, Staphi, Elizabeth, Addonis and Aphrodite herself were wonderful hosts during our two week stay. They have built a great family business and really work hard to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as it can be. The studio was cleaned regularly to an extremely high standard, when we needed air conditioning it was quiet and efficient and only at a small additional cost. The pool was warm and inviting and the bar well stocked. Magda and Elizabeth can conjure up delicious snacks during the day and for the evening there are a number of tavernas nearby. We became regulars at Averto just opposite the Aphrodite. Paulos cooks wonderful take aways on his grill for the locals but also rustles up fantastic restaurant style food at a fraction of the cost. Jim - the waiter is wonderful - he made us feel really special and made some excellent recommendations for authentic and very tasty Greek meals.

It was my third trip to Paleo, my 2nd to Aphrodite studios. I think as I was travelling alone this time the friendliness of Magda, Stathis, Elizabeth and Antonis really stood out. They couldnt do enough for you and were always cheery and welcoming. I was never really lonely. The appartments had been revamped since I last visited. They were nicely done as they always were but still inkeeping with their 'Greekness' and with the addition of Air con too!! Bonus.... I would reccomend Aphrodite to those who wnat to feel as they are part of an extended family, not just a tourist but a respected friend or friend in the making.

We had an amazing holiday that suited every member of my family ( kids 10,14,16).
Magda and the rest of her staff at Aphroditi couldn't have done any more to improve our stay we will defintely recommend it to all our friends & family and return another year.
The 2 bedded apartment was spacious and clean. The pool & bar area attractive and welcoming. Although the beach was a 25 min walk along a fairly busy road there was access to the sea via the Acapulco bar next door which more than ticked the boxes for us.
There are many places to eat along the road into Paleo
We would highly recommend this place to you all.

We stayed in one of the appartments which looks out onto the pool near the bar.
For the time of year we had superb weather throughout our holiday apart from 1 day of rain but who can moan at that!
The apartment was kept very clean for the whole week and the lovely staff who look after the bar and appartments were always helpful and gave great entertainment through the evenings. Bar closes when last person goes to bed!
We hired a quad bike for the day which was great fun although we had the misfortune of ours breaking down near end of day. However it got us up some steep hills with a few hairy moments, lol. Also hired a boat for around 50 Euros plus fuel and that gave us 3 hours in a 30hp speed boat. Gave usa chance to see the island from a different view and also fast and fun!
Spiros is a beautiful restaurant just down the road from the apartments and the food and service is wonderful. Do try the greek specialities as they are mouth watering.
We would jump at the chance to go back again to the same resort.
Overall a great relaxing holiday with plenty to see and do if you have the transport. Friendly locals and wonderful food. ENJOY

we booked this holiday at the last minute and had reservations as to how good it would be. we had never waited this late before and didnt really like the idea of not having alot of information untill we arrived.
we flew with monach and got all you expect from cheap flights.we arrived at 5.00 am local time and was met by our olympic rep. after getting on the coach we had a small journey lasting about 45 minutes then we arrived at the aphrodite in paleokastritsa. we had a short nap and then went walkies. due to the time of the year alot of the resort was closed but we rented a car and went on a few excursions that were still on. the place is beutifull and peacefull and with the car we went to sadari, dassia, corfu town and others and really dicoverd corfu. the hotel was basic but clean and well kept, elizabeth was very helpfull and full of knowledge. our rep nikki was also great and she even gave us a lft to the other side of the resort to change some money to save us the walk in the afternoon heat.
In all we would recomend the hotel and the resort but if you like to be kept busy we would suggest going early october so there is more to do.and renting a car from the rep is the best thing ever as you can make your own plans. will be going back next year for sure

Weather good considering its rainy season.
We stayed at Aphroditi apartments, which were basic, although were kept clean to high standards. Cleaner came in every other day. Linen changed twice weekly.
The staff very friendly. Beautiful scenery. Highly recomended for anyone looking for relaxing holiday. Night life low key.

We have just returned from Paleo, Corfu (July) and the weather was very hot. We stayed at the Aphroditi Apartments, which although were basic, the apartments were kept clean throughout with linen changes twice weekly. The owners (Elizabeth and Magda) were genuine and lovely and helped whenever it was needed. My husband had a problem with his hearing and Elizabeth's husband drove us to the local pharmacy which we thought was very endearing. The resort of Paleo is quite hilly and it would not be the best choice for the less mobile. Buses run to Corfu town and it costs around 2 euros each way (half hour). Taxi back would set your around 35 euros, so it is worth considering making friends to go with, to share the cost. The beaches and scenery are breathtaking. The water can feel quite cold, even in July, but refreshing and clear. The restaurants near to the apartments are very good (Spiros and Oasis) especially as the service and staff were fantastic. Cost of a meal for two would range between 25 and 40 euros, depending on the amount you drink with your meal. The drinks I found were quite expensive, but that is the case now when you are abroad. A beer and Vodka with coke will set you back around 8 euros. Hiring of boat taxis can be a little on the costly side, depending which beach you want to go to. It can cost between 10 euros for the nearest beach to 70 euros for the furthest. We also walked up into the mountain to a village called Lakones, it took an hour to reach it and in the heat it was quite a challenge, but the views across the bays were fantastic and the walk back was down hill. Overall a brilliant holiday.

Wonderful resort. Beautiful scenery. Heavy on the walking. Great night life. Peaceful and relaxing. Would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a laid back holiday. Ensure that you visit Lakones up in the mountains and Lapiades which is the next village down. Apartments were comfortable and friendly. The Oasis is great for food (make sure you try the stuffed sole) and also very friendly and accomodating. We will be back at the earliest opportunity. Until then, happy trails.

Just got back and already saving to go back! One word of warning with this place though... when booking do not book the annex because its nothing to do with these! not half as nice! Just olympic trying to cash in on aphroditi's good name!!
As everyone says the staff definately make the holiday, Magda is lovely jubbly :-) elizabeth makes a mean doughnut!! Can't wait to get back!! Highly reccomended if you hadn't guessed already :-)

We came to the apartments for 2 weeks in July and absolutely loved it!! The rooms are basic but clean and how much time do you spend in there anyway! The hospitality is second to none Magda, Elizabeth, Stafis and Antonis are sooooo lovely and made our holiday. It was our first time in Corfu and we shall we returning in May and we cant wait!! The only way our holiday could have been better was to have air con as it was so so hotttttt!!!!!!
