Edem Resort

Edem is a small piece of heaven for those who crave quiet and calmness. The resort was built in 2014 but still looks brand new. The villas are stunning, the view is amazing and everything is super clean. The town of Porto Heli with all its restaurants and bars is just a 3 minute drive away (you definitely need a car here). There are plenty of places to visit in the area. The house is ideal for a couple or a family with young kids as the second “room” is a sleeping alcove. We came as a couple so it was ideal for us. Avraam the owner is super friendly and super helpful- very responsive. He is running a great property and I am very finicky.

The Villa we stayed in was in a lovely peaceful area in nice surroundings with fruit trees and a view of the sea The up sides were the host was extremely friendly. There was a small welcome basket and the villa was very clean with a nice outside space. It is a short car trip into town. I would advise a rental car. There is a small safe play area for smaller children. Although there is no washing machine the cleaner will apparently do your laundry at no cost. I hand washed ours. The down sides for us were we were in one of the villas at the back so a lot of the view is obstructed and not the wow we expected but still nice. The ground floor is split level so not suitable for toddlers or elderly. I fell down the kitchen steps but then I am quite clumsy. I do however think they are a trip or fall hazard. The upper level is also split level with the bathroom and the second bedroom is only suitable for children as the beds are up a ladder with a low ceiling. The kitchen equipment is quite basic if you enjoy cooking and very few electric sockets for charging phones etc Also FYI no paper allowed in toilet and tap water is not drinkable. There was 1 bottle of water provided on arrival The cleaner really only takes the trash each day but does change the sheets and towels mid week. I think it would be helpful if there were some cleaning products supplied and some extra kitchen equipment e.g scissors, salt and pepper and a few more tea towels and perhaps complimentary daily bottled water All in all it was a nice place to stay
