Fodor's Expert Review Stavento
Bank 2 Pounta Beach, Diakofto, Peloponnese, 25003, Greece
About 4 km west of Diakofto station is the seaside village of Travese, where this pleasant set of beachside apartments and villas lies. It's a quiet spot, with good facilites, including a bar and a local restaurant that's worth trying—you can also book cooking classes. Rooms are large and all come with kitchenettes and balconies. There's free parasols and sun loungers available for those who'd rather hit Punta Beach than the local rails. Those who opt for the (6--8 person) villas will get sea views and their own outdoor Jacuzzi for a pretty decent price.
PROS
- a nice spot next to the beach
- friendly owner and a fine restaurant
- good breakfasts
CONS
- you're a few kilometers from Diakofto
- you'll need picking up to get there
- the beach can get pretty windy
