Hi GavF123We have holidayed in stalis for 6 years now and up until last year we stayed at the same apartments. Unfortunately last season our regular accomodation had closed down so we had to look for alternative accomodation! We had watched Sunshine apartments being built in 2006 so these were our first choice when booking elsewhere last year. What a fab choice. to the point where, despite our old apartments being available this season we have just booked again for the Sunshine apartments!! The location is fab, the rooms are superb and extremely well kept and clean and catered well. There is a huge difference in size between studios and apartments, with the 1 bed apart's having 2 balconies, large lounge/2nd bedroon area etc.All though only two of us we book an apartment due to size difference. The location is ideal, and although only 2 mins from the main beach road with shops, tavernas etc they are quiet enough to be peaceful at night if needed!! The pool always cleaned religously by Manos twice a day. We went 1st week of september and was a mix of families, couples and singles. It was a great atmosphere and never too rowdy, despite a fab poolside bar that was open from 10am till last man standing, selling snacks fron brekkie to supper. Family run business and this was very evident!! lol!!  :tup  The greek night was a family affair and ideal for fun raucous night!!greek style!! Pool area is patioed but there is also a grassed area with further sunbeds etc. No towel renting needed at 5am to reserve the beds!! All bodes well for a fab holiday. The layout is fab with no main traffic areas, as just a track up to complex which is not busy with traffic. that time of year is slightly quiter as end of school holidays but still busy and happening on the nightlife!!Everywhere is still open full time. We are going back on 29th August for a week so if you do decide to visit we may see ya there!! I dont have any photos of inside the rooms but have several of the pool/bar area and complex layout. Let me know if that would be useful and i will get them to you!! there must be a way on here to do that. P.s beaches are superb also!! p.p.s so is the food,prices, local nightlife!! :sun2 12 weeks and counting....good luck with your decision. let me know if anything else you need help with!!!

Hi SukiSue thanks for the great review.

We are looking to go at a similar time. end of august or first or second week of september I think depending on what time we can get away from work.

I could only find the sunshine studios was with Kosmar. Is this who you book with or is there a cheaper way ?

Oh and photos would be great. I can pm you my email address or you might be able to post them up here for everyone to see.
