We have been to Georgioupolis in Crete three times now and the Leonidas apartments were the best. The apartments are superbly located. They are close enough to the beach and two mini-markets. The main square is a couple of minutes walk away. They are in a quiet location so you do not get disturbed at night.
Our apartment slept four. There was a twin bedded room and a double bed in the main room. The only downside was that the kitchenette was very small with little worktop space to prepare food. This did not bother us too much as there were plenty of good tavernas nearby. The apartment was clean, maid service was good, and the owner was very friendly. The pool was of an adequate size with a separate children's pool, and it was shallow enough for toddlers.
Our children liked the children's park which was close by and opened every evening, and it was completely safe and enclosed. We could sit and have a meal and drink there whilst watching them play - perfect!
We thoroughly recommend Georgiopolis and the Leonidas apartments. We met several people who returned regularly to both.
Kosmar are cheap and the rep was good, but the flights let them down. The planes (Aegean) were old and tatty. There was no in-flight entertainment at all, and the food was rubbish.
The plane returned to Birmingham via Bristol where we had to get off and go through customs again, and when all you want to do is just get home, this is a drag!
Georgioupolis - 10/10
Leonidas 8/10
Kosmar 7/10
Aegean Airlines 1/10

Leonidas Apartments: Rooms very spacious, clean and well maintained. Cleaned every day but Sunday. Air conditioned, hairdryer and all basics supplied. Pool is clean .5 mins to beach and 1 min to two well stocked supermarkets.
Georgiopolis is a small Greek village, locals are friendly and helpful. Best taverna we found was Valentinos. Every meal was delicious and big portions. Sun kiss beach bar also served good, cheap food at lunchtime and staff were friendly. If you want a good quiet holiday I'd recommend Georgiopolis and Leonardis apartments.

Leonidas Apartments is probably the best accommodation I have had in several holidays to Greece; it is ideally located on the East side of the village and within easy walking distance of the beach, Taverna's and popular village square. The resort of Georgioupolis is small and tightly compact and no matter where you are an open field, space or hillside is within a short walking distance. The beaches are best described like this: Central, opposite the EDAM pool and restaurant, 2 beds and brolly at 5 EURO with 2 complimentary beers and free access with beds at the pool directly behind. The western most beach is reached by crossing the bridge, a beautiful idyllic bay with a lovely Taverna on site, this enhanced by clean toilets. River beach (East side) has several banks of beds each with their own Taverna, down side is there are no or at best very primitive toilet facilities! By way of summary I would have to say that we experienced the best value for money here, much cheaper than Santorini and Zante 2 years ago. It was always a delight to walk the short distance to the village square following a meal and sit in that lovely cane furniture with a drink and watch the world go by. This resort is favoured by Germans and Dutch who for some reason seem to mix much more easily than elsewhere..............or perhaps it was the Brits who mixed much more easily!!!
