Studios Margarita
Direct beach access studios with kitchenette on Platis Gialos
About this hotel
Studios Margarita puts the emphasis on self-sufficiency: each apartment has its own kitchenette, a private bathroom, and air-conditioning, with the beach a few steps from the garden rather than a drive away. Balconies here look inland toward the hills rather than out to sea, which keeps the studios a little cooler and quieter than the front-row units further along the strip. The lush garden softens what is otherwise a fairly built-up stretch of Platis Gialos, and it is the kind of spot where guests tend to settle in for a full week rather than a two-night stop. Chrisopigi Monastery is a manageable 3 km away for an evening drive to watch the sunset over the chapel on its rock.

- Mountain-view balconies
Our take
Studios Margarita keeps the formula simple: beachfront studios on Platis Gialos with direct sand access, kitchenettes, a garden and a sun terrace. Note that the balconies look towards the mountains, not the sea. My advice is to book it for a self-catering beach stay, with an outing to Chrysopigi Monastery, 3 km away.
- ✓Buy groceries in Apollonia before arriving, the local shop selection near the beach is limited
- ✓Ask for a garden-facing unit if you want extra shade in August
- ✓Walk to Chrisopigi for sunset rather than driving, parking there fills up fast
Why we love it
- Fully equipped kitchenette in every studio
- A few steps from Platis Gialos sand
- Lush garden setting away from the road
- 3 km to Chrisopigi Monastery for sunset
Why guests love itStudios Margarita opens straight onto the sand of Platis Gialos, so a family can go from breakfast to the water without crossing a road. Each studio has a private bathroom and a kitchenette, enough for breakfasts and simple meals, and the balconies face the mountains rather than the sea. A lush garden and a sun terrace give some space away from the beach. Chrysopigi Monastery is 3 km away. I would choose it for a simple, self-catering beach week with young children.
