Magic Ionian Apartments & Rooms

This is by far the best vacation spot we've ever been to. Pedro, our host, was very helpful and pleasant from the first contact, always answering our questions and offering suggestions. The accommodation is just a few meters from the beach and has direct access to it. The rooms are clean and air-conditioned, with excellent refrigerators and electric stoves. Everything you need for a holiday is in the room. As for the beach and the sea, I can't even describe the beauty. The accommodation has its own umbrellas and sun loungers, which are free of charge. The beach is large, but you're in a secluded part that feels like a private area with no crowds. We've never seen the sea this clear, no algae, the water is transparent and clean. When it comes to food, there's a market right in front of the accommodation where you can find everything you need. Just 100 meters away is Taverna Stavros, a beautiful place with incredibly affordable prices and a pleasant atmosphere under the olive trees. This was the first time we didn’t explore the surroundings or look for other beaches because everything we needed was right here in one place. Pedro, if you're reading this: see you next year!

Whenever we plan a seaside vacation, we’re always searching for that rare “hidden gem” where your balcony opens directly onto the ocean and the water is just steps from your door. The Magic Ionian doesn’t just meet these expectations — it exceeds them spectacularly, with a host of exceptional bonuses that make it truly unforgettable: Fully Equipped Kitchen Units: Having a kitchen means dining out is a delightful option, not a necessity. This flexibility elevates your stay, whether you prefer cooking fresh local ingredients or indulging in the vibrant nearby restaurants. Warm, Family-Run Hospitality: Petro and his wonderful family run the place with genuine care and hospitality that you simply can’t find in large resorts. Their personal touch makes every guest feel like family. Pristine Pebble Beach at Your Doorstep: The crystal-clear waters of Potami Beach lie just in front of the property — no sun lounger fees, no crowded neighbors. If you value privacy and tranquility, this beach is a dream come true. It’s also heartwarming to see locals choosing this very spot to relax, a true testament to its charm. Reliable Air Conditioning: Essential for those hot, humid days, the air conditioning here is robust and keeps the rooms refreshingly comfortable. Spacious, Thoughtfully Designed Rooms: Especially the studios with kitchens, which provide ample space to unwind after a day in the sun. Convenient Nearby Markets: Two markets within a minute’s walk mean you have everything you need at your fingertips — from fresh produce to daily essentials. Abundance of Dining and Leisure Options: From cozy cafes and lively bars to a variety of restaurants, you can choose to explore the local scene or simply relax on your beachfront balcony with the soothing sound of the waves. We personally prefer the peaceful latter — pure bliss. It’s no surprise that the Magic Ionian is often booked almost a year in advance. It offers exceptional value compared to the crowded, tourist-heavy Ksamil or upscale hotels that don’t even have beachfront access. If you’re considering a stay, don’t hesitate to reach out to Petro directly — he’ll give you a warm welcome and the best advice on availability. In short, the Magic Ionian is a rare find that perfectly combines breathtaking location, heartfelt hospitality, and unbeatable value. A true paradise for anyone seeking an authentic and serene Ionian seaside experience.

2 families and grandparents stayed at Magic Ionian. The location with the beach out the front was amazing - a short walk to the first esplanade and a little longer walk to the main esplanade of Himare. Clean, neat apartments with kitchens and free sunbeds on the beach in front (which was very peaceful). Petro (and his parents) were extremely helpful and responsive - thank you so much for having us.
