We went to Ampavris last June and are going again this year. Superlatives fail me. The family who own and run the apartments are so lovely and make you feel like one of their family. In fact when we left we were quite tearful. It's an ideal holiday because you can relax during the day but it's not too far from Kos Town when you want to do something else. Great bus services in Kos Town tsee other parts of the island plus you can wander along the sea front in the evening and book boat trips to other Greek islands and Turkey (dont buy these trips from your reps - they treble the price!)
This is absolutely the most wonderful holiday destination in the whole world! Went last year and am going again this year - it's as if I'm going home. The Sourasis family, who own the apartments, make everyone so welcome. The apartments are spotlessly clean, as is the pool and surrounding area. The gardens are immaculate too. The food at the bar is simple and cheap but sufficient and there is a little supermarket about twenty yards away where you can buy all your necessities. It's a short (5 euro) taxi ride into Kos town or a 20 minute stroll. Simply the best value for money ever.
To Emma Flynn - yes there is adequate parking at Ampavris. Chris or Steve will be able to sort out a hire car for you.
