I am a travel agent and have done Greece now for many years. This accommodation is the best I have ever stayed at in Greece, and probably is the best greek holiday I have ever had. Never before have I had a bath or power shower in greece, normally a cheap shower and a hole in the floor, but not at the leonidas. The apartments are immaculate and cleaned every day apart from Sunday. Nothing is too much trouble for the owner, and the maid kept the place spotless.
The apartments are minutes from the beach and the square. The resort has a real village feel, and is very compact. There is a main sqaure which is surrounded by lovely bars and tavernas, and even has a sports bar (keeps the men happy). From the square, there are streets leading to the beach or river, full of nice shops and tavernas. There are horse and carriages to take you round the village, and a couple of mini trains which take you to lake kournas (a large lake outside the resort where you can hire boats etc... - worth a visit). The beach is pretty good, and if you fancy a change from the pool or the beach, go to edem park down by the beach. It is a lovely grassy complex with 2 pools and bar/taverna, where 2 sunbeds and a brolly, and 2 free drinks will cost you 5 euros. The homemade pizzas there are fab!
The resort caters well for families, as there is mini golf and a big inflatable park with bouncy castles etc...
With regards to eating out, there are approx 47 tavernas. You will find them dotted around the village, but some good ones are "poseidon", only for fish, where you pick your own and they grill it on the bbq. We had the most delicious shark steaks there, also very cheap. "valentinos" is very nice with big portions. Our favourite was a place called "martinas", which is off the square towards the river. You will have to hunt it down, as you won't just walk passed it. Don't go there first as you will want to go every night. I won't say any more other than superb! I could go on and on about georgioupolis, but you must go and find out for yourself. In my opinion, satisfaction is definately guaranteed.
I have luckily travelled all over the world, and don't like going to the same place twice, but I will, without a doubt return to this lovely village, and it would have to be the leonidas apartments that we stay at again. Highly recommended.

Transfer to resort took approximately 1hr 10mins, dropping off in resort of Kalives first.
On arrival, were taken by Kosmar rep to our studio, which as requested was low level. (2adults and 1child aged 3yrs travelled). Studio was of a good size with twin beds, and sofa bed for already made up.
Towels were also provided, and the studio was cleaned daily and change of towels once during our week stay. However if you required anything, the maid and owner were always on hand to ask.
The pool was cleaned daily, with sunbeds and umbrellas around.
It took approx 5mins to walk to the beach, which was a long stretch of lovely sand, and the water was beautiful and shallow for some way out.
Further five minutes, and into village square, with good choice of tavernas/bars to choose from.
This is an excellent choice for families and couples (aged 30+) looking for a relaxing and easy going holiday. The resort was set out lovely, and the position of the Leonidas is superb, with views of sea and mountain scenery too. Would definately return.
