Location
We went for a relaxing holiday and that is what we got! We will go back. Yainnis and Maria were the perfect hosts.
Our room was cleaned everyday, and we even were able to have a good shower before we were picked up at 00.40am. For our flight at 3.25am, so we had the whole day to relax.
We will be going back next year, we hope.

BE WARNED HOWEVER, this establishment takes all male parties(and all female)and we did have a few incidents when we were woken to drunken rowdiness during the small hours, not ideal if you have small children who will inevitably be crying distraught while you try to explain to them that the nasty boys next door who are smashing the place up are not going to come into the room next door and conduct the same.
If you have small kids or a family travelling with you then stay clear of this place. The owner does not care, I even overheard him offering the lads who trashed the room next door to ours a discount on the glasses they had smashed as he got them cheaper buying them by the thousand - by the thousand? Must happen a lot then don't you think!

There is a snack bar by the lower pool which serves toasties, chips and salads which are all good.
Jianis and his wife Maria are very nice and are helpful most of the time.
There was only entertainment on one evening during our 10 day stay but there are plenty of other taverna's and bars which do have entertainment.

On arrival we were pleased with the position of the apt's, BUT!!! were horrified to see one family turned away because of serious over booking by HV (this happened more than three occaisions on our holiday as far as we know of).
The accomodation was basic, but clean and we as a family of five well catered for with our room.Air conditioning was a bit expensive (7 euro per night), it actually works out cheaper to buy a fan from Hersonnosis for 20 euro, and give to it somebody when you leave.
The two pools were clean, one was near the bar, and the other was near the reception which was a lot quieter, ideal for young children - but 3mt deep!.The main pool was next to the bar which was more busier (and i hate to say it - we are JUST as bad a other europeans as to towels on sunbeds - GET UP early).
The entertainment (well, there was not any), there was talk of a greek night which we were looking forward to, but never happened.
The cleaners came twice a week to change bedding etc but mine sweep detergents etc after you leave for home!, George the maitainence guy worked all day around the complex and always said hello.
Yainnis worked from 10am-4pm at the bar serving beers, snacks, toasties etc and was pleasent to talk to,and Maria worked at the bar from 4pm-10pm when Yainnis came back at 10pm up until 2am+.There is a small restraunt on site serving breakfast's from 8.30-11.00, but we never tried it so cannot comment.
As you can see from an earlier report, we expierienced the same problems with noise at night from mainly young lads coming home after a night on the town.I don't mind people having a good time, but me and other families were woken 2/3 times at night on two occaisions with DRUNKEN LADS Coming back to the apt's, fueled with aggresion, and arguing with each other in their room , swearing out loud etc. On one occaision (much to the dis-approval to my wife) I had to go out at 5am and to try quiet them down, and this is after some Brit lads threw glasses and beer bottles down from a balcony and smashing a glass door in their apt. These incidents were not to go un-reported, so the very next day it was reported to Yiannis who assured me that "if they want to fight, they can give me back the keys and fight outside" thinking that they were going to be evicted from the complex, only to find after returning from a day at the beach that the lads in question were still on the complex and Yiannis offered to give them discount on purchasing new glasses for the one's that they smashed over the balcony!!!. I must admit, we were both dissapointed in this decision from Yiannis not to evict these lads and decided to give the rest of our holiday trade to Asterias Village in Piskopiano as protest.
On return to the UK, I notified HV of these incidents and they assured me that the apt's were for families only (no single sex parties) and incidents like these were never reported before, but I replied that it had spoilt our holiday because of what my family had to go through.

Accommodation was clean, and well maintained. Janis is a top bloke that would go out of his way to help anyone.
Very nice indeed!!!

The lower pool was very clean but very deep. Also there was a bar which was run by the lovely and caring Janis and Maria.- Janis was a smashing bloke who was always helpful. We had read some reports that he was rude. What rubbish!
At the front of the apartments there was a little covered open seating area where you could sit at the end of the day and have a beer and chat to your friends.
Although there was no entertainment for the children Janis had two beautiful boys who more than made up for it. We miss them all very much and hope to visit them again.

Jannis and Maria were excellent hosts and put a lot of hard work and long hours into making people happy!
We have travelled to Hersonissos 3 times before and stayed in main town, which is hectic therefore the piskopiano apartments were in a quieter location although there were numerous bars and restaurants and I feel it was a very busy but quiet village!
I would recommend this accommodation to anyone and i will surely be visiting again!

There are two pools with the newer apartments by the lower pool like I said we had a basic room which we were told are being done up soon with new bathrooms.
The location of piskopiano is excellent in a beautiful village which has plenty of restaurants shops and bars but if you want more action the centre of Hersonissos which you can see from Piskopiano is about a 15 min walk.
Jiannis and Maria work very hard in the pool bar it is a very family friendly place. Jiannis works till early hours serving drinks till your ready to leave in which some nights that was 3am bless him!

It didn't get much better as we got into our room either!!We got the room near the road so it was one of the older ones.
The bathroom wasn't clean with hairs on the floor and the kitchen worktop wasn't any better! We called the owner into the room to look at this and he wasn't very considerate, so after finally getting our point across he agreed that the cleaner would come and clean the room again and that we could change room when one of the newer ones became available-which did not happen.
So for the rest of our stay the owner didn't acknowledge us. In the morning the road was busy and as we had a path running next to our room we could hear people with suitcases going up and down.
The pool was nice and clean although we didn't spend that much time there and we wer quite lucky to get sunbeds every time we were there.

The pools are REALLY cold, but thats not a problem when it's 30 odd degree's and you need to cool down. Jainnis and Maria do lovely food, and lovely beer and the poolside bar. Jainnis works from around 10am till 2am, and is always happy to help and is a very nice guy. They are a lovely couple, and make it a lovely holiday.
Piskopiano is a lovely little place. Lots of Tavernas and a few bars and quite a few little souvenir shops. It's mainly based on one long street, with the odd little back street of bars and shops. Lovely views from the Taverna's of Hersonossis. Its about 15-20 mins into the main resort of Hersonossis (all down hill) and can be quite tiring get back up in the hot sun, even for someone like us, who are quite fit. I believe Old Hersonossis is quite nice too, but we never got there, as we were only there a week!
If you want a nice quiet, relaxing holiday, try the Piskopiano Apartments
