Emerald Studios

Emerald Studios details

This place is in a great location – it’s just minutes from the beach and tavernas of Golden Beach.

These little apartments have got Greek good looks down to a fine art. The building is all whitewashed walls with wrought-iron balconies and a terracotta tiled roof. It’s set in a 400-year-old olive grove, against a backdrop of hills blanketed in green. And it sits at the top of a steep hill, so the views from here are impressive.

You can make the most of the views from your own balcony. Each of the apartments offers up a panoramic view out to sea. Inside, meanwhile, they’re comfortable and cool. Simply styled, they team white walls and linen with chunky dark-wood furniture. Splashes of blue and red come courtesy of soft-furnishings, while kitchenettes are ideal for rustling up light snacks.

Elsewhere, there’s the pool. It’s an L-shaped number that’s just on the right side of petite, with a bridge crossing over it. Blue loungers and parasols frame the water and look out over the sea and neighbouring rooftops. There’s also a well-stocked bar.

For more in the way of sunning spots, this place is just a five-minute walk from Golden Beach. It’s got a coveted Blue Flag, and the crystal waters stay shallow quite far out so it’s ideal for family swimming. Factor in family-run tavernas lining the sand and you’ve got a great place to while away the day.
