My friend Carol and I stayed at the Lydia from 7th to 21st June 2006. We loved it.
The apartment is one of the nicest (and this is our 5th Greek Island apartment) and most spacious we have ever had. Kitchen area is basic but we only ate breakfast there anyway and otherwise ate out.
Sheets were changed regularly but towels could have been changed a bit more as we had one towel each for 3 days to start with! The grounds and pool area were beautiful and never very busy, in fact, most days there were fewer than 8 people around the pool.
The situation is excellent with a 10 minute walk to Lambi area with lovely beaches and some good bars/restaurants. It's about 15 minutes walk to the harbour and town area in the other direction with lots of lovely shops, bars and restaurants to choose from. A meal for 2 with wine cost us about 20 euros and many restaurants gave us free cocktails, a sweet or half litre of wine at the end of the meal.
We hired bikes for one week and cycled to Psalidi and Tingaki as well as around Kos Town and Lambi area. Shopping for milk, water and other basics was easier by bike too!
I'd recommend the Lydia to anyone - couples, families or young people.
