Hotel Apartments Giannis
Quiet Cycladic apartments three minutes from the port
About this hotel
Set back from the harbour front, Hotel Apartments Giannis trades the sea view for quiet: the whitewashed courtyard and blue shutters sit on a side street where evenings stay calm even in August, well away from the ferry-terminal noise closer to the water. The port and the shops of central Adamas are three minutes on foot, close enough for dinner without the noise of being right on the water, and the apartment layout gives families a separate living area rather than a single room to share. The beach itself is a ten-minute walk, a reasonable trade for anyone who wants to sleep with the window open through the warmer nights.

Our take
Families who want walking-distance convenience to the port without the premium of a sea-facing room will do well here, especially with young children who benefit from the extra apartment space. The quiet side-street setting means less atmosphere after dark than the harbour-front hotels, which some travellers will count as a plus. Anyone who wants to watch the sunset from their balcony should book elsewhere, since these rooms look inward to the courtyard rather than out to the bay.
- ✓Walk the three minutes into Adamas for dinner, the courtyard has no restaurant of its own
- ✓Bring earplugs only if you're sensitive, the side street is genuinely quiet by Adamas standards
- ✓Ask for a ground-floor apartment if travelling with young children, it saves the stairs

Why guests love itStayed here with two kids and the quiet street made bedtime far easier than a harbour-front room would have, no clinking bar noise drifting up after nine. The port was close enough that we walked in for dinner every night without a second thought about parking or taxis. The ten-minute walk to the beach felt long only with sandy towels and tired legs on the way back. A ground-floor apartment would have helped with the stroller, worth requesting ahead of time.
