I had the good fortune to stay in Heliades in June 2014. It was a real treat! The views just don’t stop. From every room you see the harbor and the sea and landscape beyond. Even the stormy days were lovely, watching the clouds shift over the sea. These apartments are newly built, but in the traditional style for which Molyvos is famous. Comfortable and amply spacious with the balconies, the units are elegant in design and decor and yet well-suited to indoor-outdoor summer living. Firm but comfy mattresses, hi-speed Wi-fi internet, a couch and satellite TV, a kitchen equipped with nice coffee maker and the best juicer I’ve ever used (for those amazing Greek oranges)… basically home away from home. So much better than staying in a hotel (and probably about the same price as two hotel rooms). The gorgeous barrierless showers have given me new inspiration for renovating my bathroom at home. And the location…! Very nearly directly across from the ruins of Roman baths, and really directly across from an Ottoman fountain. Walk a few steps down to the lively harbor. Walk a few more steps up to the castle. Walk horizontally (mostly) a few steps to access the heart of the village with lovely shops and cafes. A little “train” (new this year) will take tourists from the harbor to the village entry and beyond to Petra if so desired. Two couples could stay there comfortably (the twin beds in the second bedroom can be put together to form a double), or families with up to two children. I would happily stay in Heliades again and highly recommend to couples and families.
