We stayed in these lovely apartments from the end of September for 9 nights. We had room 6 which was front facing with an enormous bed. We were left a welcome pack which included coffee, tea, milk, rose wine, water and a lovely box of biscuits. Housekeeping came 7 days out of the 9 and I can honestly say that we've never had so many fresh towels left for us. The bathroom is extremely dated, but the charm and location definitely makes up for it. Thank you for your hospitality 🙏

From the very first moment of arrival I was made welcome and had a fabulous stay at these apartments. Such friendly people with a special mention for hard working Dina who looked after me wonderfully and kept the whole place spotless. My room with balcony overlooking the sea was delightful with an enormous comfortable bed. Kitchen area very well equipped, including coffee machine and sandwich toaster supplied although no kettle. I expect if I had asked that would have been forthcoming but I wasn’t bothered. Woke up to the sounds of the sea lapping the beach and swallows chattering to each other. Staying in this resort was idyllic, no thumping music anywhere, just some tavernas had it at acceptable levels with most playing Greek music if at all. I have fallen in love and will return to Medusa!

Studio 5, which looks over the restaurant underneath. Could hear the waves lapping the shore from studio, was lovely. Was expecting and was billed for 1 bed apartment so was initially disappointed but the location was amazing. Small studio with most requirements, down side no toaster, air con machine spewed black blobs every now & then & shower flooded bathroom when used! Good points are location, room clean, new towels half way through the week, welcome pack of tea etc and a lovely bottle of white wine. Dina kindly ordered taxi to collect us from airport, much cheaper than booking.com.

We booked the Medusa as our friend had visited a month earlier. We have stayed in Katelios on 2 previous occasions but not so close to the beach before, this is a lovely spot literally yards from the beach. We were very happy with the facilities provided & Dina kept the room spotless. Thank you! There are a choice of taverna's along the main street. I would definitely recommend these studios.

I Cannot express my enjoyment and experience staying at the Medusa apartments for my 1 week holiday, the woman owner (sorry I cant remember her name, could be sada not sure) but she made us so welcome, greeting you on arrival, and showing you to your room. The apartment we had (Room 11) was beautiful, clean, well equipped, maintained daily. and with a great view onto the beach and surrounding area. All rooms comes with a balcony, table and chairs and ashtray included if needed! As for the location well.......Walk out the door of the apartments, Turn Left, cross the road and your on the beach! its that close. everything else you need shops, restaurants are 5 minutes walk away in any direction.........perfectly located. since the kids came with us, we opted for the air-conditioning for the week, which cost us 70 Euro (that's for the apartment not studio, im sure the studio was 49 Euro for the week) which I didn't mind at all paying. as for the so called Holiday tax that was only 3 Euro 50 Cent for the week so all in all a cracking holiday, I would Honestly recommend the Medusa apartments to anyone with or without family. As this was our first time in Greece I didn't bother with a hired car but i did notice that there is space at the side of the apartments (on the road) for parking. bottom line is if your looking to be in the middle of shops and restaurants and literally 30 feet from the beach then i recommend Medusa apartments, although its in the centre of the attractions you're still getting the peace and quite your looking for. the Wife and I are already talking about going back next year for a longer stay.....that was my only complaint it was to short :(

Recently returned from a two week stay in Medusa Apartments. On arrival at the airport we were allocated Room 6 by the Thomas Cook rep. Bearing in mind that I had read the horror stories about room 10 we were more than happy to be given any other room. However when we arrived at the hotel the door to room 6 was locked and on finding the owner Elios to check the situation we were told there had been a mistake and we were actually in the dreaded room 10!!! To say I was dubious would be an understatement but when we went into room 10 to have a look it was Absolutely Fine. The room is on the small side but I have stayed in a lot worse places. This is a Greek Studio as you would expect it to be. It is clean, tidy and cleaned daily by Dena with towels changed regularly. There is a clean and serviceable shower room with hot water at all times of the day, plenty of power points in the main room, tidy fridge, kettle, cooker hob, sandwich toaster, hairdryer, microwave, plenty of storage and a reasonably comfortable, if somewhat creaky, double bed. Could do with a little more cutlery/crockery but there was enough for two people. Reasonable sized balcony with nice views of both the beach and the mountains and 2 nice wood/fabric chairs with a solid table. The balcony is in the shade until about 4 pm when the sun comes around the building and it disappears behind the mountain at about 7 pm. There is an ATM machine alongside the reception (one of only two in the village) Use of the safe charged at 10 euros per week, with the Aircon available for 8 euros per night, which we thought was a bit pricey, so slept the first few nights with the patio doors open and the wooden slatted doors closed, but that was a little loud until 1-30 or so with vans and people leaving the area (nothing boisterous just general movement of people) so from that point we closed both doors and managed without the aircon although it did get quite warm. With regards to the resort itself Katelios is a small resort consisting of quite a few restaurants along the beach. We ate in all of them apart from the Aurora (so we couldn't comment on tha)t but every other restaurant we used was excellent. Our personal favourites were 'Blue Sea' and 'Delicious' but like I say you couldn't go far wrong with any of them (including the 2 on the main road down to the resort - 'Jerry Elenikos' and 'Persas). Also some nice bars to have a quiet drink - our favourites were Nemesis (a couple of doors away) and for the ultimate chill out bar on the beach Waves/Dreams (head past the 'Kiosk' and just along the beach away from the main track) There is no pool at Medusa but the beach is literally 5 yards away and there is free use of the Medusa's own sun loungers on the beach. A few reviews have mentioned using the Notos pool but we were told that wasn't an option. We did however use the pool at Alkioni on the road down to the resort a few times (very nice clean big pool with snack bar and plenty of loungers available) A sign says it is 3 euros for use of the pool, but we were never asked to pay. We did, however, use the snack bar to be fair. One thing I felt did let the resort down was the availability of public transport - the buses are overcrowded and infrequent (but very cheap - about 3 euros to the capital Argostoli) Taxis need to be called from neighbouring Skala and cost 15 euros to Skala itself. There is also an infrequent water taxi costing 10 euros each to Skala, but we were never sure when it was running. Would we stay in Medusa and Room 10 again - absolutely without a doubt. Truthfully though we try and go somewhere different each year so we probably won't. Having said that a lot of people we spoke to return every year so that speaks for itself. I remain convinced that the airport rep gave us the wrong room number at the airport deliberately so that he wouldn't get a backlash about room 10, but there really was no reason at all to worry. All in all a lovely stay in a very chilled out resort, highly recommended.

After reading previous reviews on the Medusa apartments where a lot of guests gave 5 stars apart from the ones who stayed at Room 10, we were very excited about our holiday at the Medusa. Our excitement was soon shattered where on our arrival at Kefalonia airport, we were met by the Thomas Cook rep and were told that we had been allocated Room No 10 and that the key was in the door! What a lovely welcome! Were the owners to frightened to meet us and show us to our birdcage!! On arrival we were helped up to our room by a young lad, presumably the owners son and we surveyed our room - probably the smallest we have ever stayed in. Firstly, the air conditioning was extra, as was the safe. We decided to decline the offer. No toaster, that was part of the grill/oven, together with a one ring appliance. A kettle which took an eternity to boil, cutlery which was out of the ark, and probably as old as the building itself. No egg cups, no wine glasses, the bare minimum of kitchen crockery and the bare minimun of kitchenware. This place was a joke and we were expected to stay here for a fortnight. The wardrobe door would only open partially as a chest of drawers stopped it from being opened fully, and you could not get into one of the beds if the balcony door was opened. A midget would have struggled here. In the toilet, the shower curtain was turning yellow and the toilet pan had not been cleaned properly for a considerable time. The only saving grace was the balcony which overlooked the side street, but the peace was regularly shattered by barking dogs, screeching cats, cockerels crowing and the loud locals either congregating outside the taverna underneath,or the DIY expect across the road using his drill and hammer whilst working on his property. When you wanted to escape to the beach to get away from all of this, there were the grand total of 8 sunbeds to go round 16 apartments - and you dont need a GCE in maths to work that one out! The only day we were able to get one, was when it was change over day of guests leaving or arriving. How on earth this place got awards in previous years is unbelieveable. The towels in the room were changed about 3 times a week, but the dirty toilet was never cleaned properly. The bin appeared to be emptied when the beds weren't made. On one occasion, one of the twin beds was made and the other was left! After staying at the Medusa, I cant understand why people return year after year.It can only be the close proximity to the beach - because its certainly nothing else.

Our third visit to these apartments. Lovely basic Greek apartments but very clean. Bedding and towels are changed during the week. Bring your own tea towels. None supplied his year though usually they are. Dina is a great host and Ilias in the restaurant underneath is always so cheerful and chatty. Food is good too. Perfect location to the beach. Free sun beds and there are umbrellas and other beach goodies in store place on first floor. We’ve only had maximum 6 people on the beach in front of the apartments. Julie in the local supermarket up the road is lovely. You can get a bus to Argostoli at 915 in the morning from the kiosk to see the turtles and the walk across the bridge over the water is well worth it. Only €3.10 each on the bus one way - far cheaper than paying for a trip and you can stay on the bus coming back (no.25) which leaves at 1430 and go into Skala. Even getting a taxi back from Skala isn’t much and always someone keen to share the cost. You can hire a boat from €115 to go long the coast which is lovely south coast is prettier you won’t have time to do both in the day. Lots of lovely restaurants and everyone is so friendly. Try Waves Bar along the beach to the left they don’t do meals at night though which is a shame as the food is delicious. Ketelios Taverna is great too which is to the right out of the apartments. Cash point at the apartments.

A party of female family members stayed for a week in July.This very small resort has lovely sandy beaches, was quiet and had some excellent, reasonably priced restaurants - which were only yards apart and all served a great variety of local produce and dishes especially fish. There is even an "English speaking" supermarket nearby. The hotel itself was relatively small but everwhere in it was ABSOLUTELY SPOTLESS, a real credit to the owners especially Dina who seemed to be in perpetual motion!. Everything worked, endless hot water with bedding and towels changed every other day. The hotel's own restaurant was excellent with very friendly staff (as was the case for the hotel itself) - nothing was too much trouble. This group of "ladies" have invaded the Greek Islands for a fair number of years and have voted this the best yet and plan to hopefully return next year if suitable dates are available. To those who want a relativey quiet but really enjoyable "Greek experience" away you could not find a better place.

Because this is through Thomas Cook, you would have to contact them.
Just so as you know, if it is to request a certain room, these are allocated according to the rooms vacant on changeover.
