Guest reviews
This is my fifteenth time vacationing in Potos, and my fifth in the same villa and apartment. This reflects my satisfaction with the amenities provided by this island. Nevertheless, I would suggest to the owners of my accommodation to improve the furnishings of the apartment (for example, higher quality auxiliary beds, dishes, and utensils...). Additionally, it is essential to ensure that the televisions are functional, as this issue has persisted for years (although personally it hasn't meant much to me, there are people for whom it does). I am pleased with the relationship and professionalism of your agency, which implies our continued collaboration. However, I have one suggestion for you, which is to engage your representatives (specifically in Potos) who, in addition to speaking Greek and English, also know Serbian, considering that you have many Serbs who do not speak foreign languages, and in cases of problematic situations, effective communication becomes impossible.
Location, amenities, communication with the local population, quality food and service in restaurants, beautiful beaches...
Cons
Distance from Leskovac (is that a disadvantage???), too many tourists from other countries (Romania, Bulgaria...), who were not present in previous years... But, it is what it is.
This accommodation is situated in an excellent location, with daily cleaning of the apartment. Tasos is a beautiful island, and we vacationed with Nika for the first time, and we are very satisfied; we had all the necessary information for our stay. Overall, a warm recommendation for this accommodation. 🤖
Location, cleanliness
Cons
The accommodation is excellent and highly recommended. The only downside is the poor internet connection.

The accommodation is fantastic; we stayed in apartment no. 6, which is spacious and equipped with all necessary utensils, two air conditioners—one in each room—mosquito nets, a lovely terrace, daily cleaning of the rooms, and towels provided. It's very close to the beach, making it an excellent choice for lodging.
Clean, ample space, away from the hustle and bustle yet very close to the beach
Cons
No drawbacks
We have nothing but praise for this accommodation; we are absolutely delighted!
Excellent location
Cons
The apartment is comfortable, clean, and situated in an excellent location. The owners are kind. The hygiene is exceptional, with towels and bed linens changed every three days. We stayed in the apartment for three nights, and everything was perfect.
Great location
Cons
Exceptionally beautiful and clean, just 100 meters from the beach where we always swim. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly. The bed linens are changed every three days, and cleaning is done daily; I highly recommend it!

The apartment is beautiful and clean, with bed linens and towels changed every three days. It boasts an excellent location, and I wholeheartedly recommend it; everything was perfectly fine. Thank you, Nikana @nikana.gr
Situated in an excellent location in Potos. Secured parking close to the accommodation. Immaculately clean, clean, clean. There is always water, and the pressure is fantastic. Two bedrooms, two air conditioners, and two televisions. A shaded terrace. The room maintains a pleasant temperature at all times. Ample space for four guests. This refers to apartment number 4 on the elevated ground floor.
Location, parking, cleanliness
Cons
Poorly equipped kitchen. If you plan to cook, be aware of this.
We spent twelve days in this accommodation. We were delighted by the cleanliness, kindness, and attentiveness of the host. Every day, our apartment was thoroughly cleaned, and every third day, the linens and towels were changed. The air conditioning activates automatically when you close the terrace door. The apartment is spacious and very pleasant. In the same building is the Nikana agency, whose staff is fantastic!
Cleanliness, comfort, kindness, proximity to the beach, markets, and restaurants...
Cons
Parking is located behind the church across from the accommodation, making it not easily visible.
The accommodation is excellent, comfortable, tidy, and clean. Towels and bed linens are changed regularly.
Close to the center, the beach, it's not noisy, everything is within reach, spacious terrace, secured parking behind the church.
Cons
None.
I want to express how truly satisfied we are. The people were incredibly nice, everything was perfect, I have no words. I would recommend Balkan Haus to everyone, and thank you for everything. We had a wonderful time; Tasos is magnificent!
The accommodation is excellent, with cleanliness at a commendable level. It boasts an ideal location, especially for families with small children.
The vacation was fantastic; however, the only issue was a clogged drain, which we did not report to the landlady, resulting in a slight flood in the bathroom.
The property is situated in an excellent location, just 50 meters from the beginning of the promenade. Daily cleaning of the apartment is provided, and the bed linens are changed every three days. The landlady's daughter is very courteous. Stopping in front of the property is allowed, but parking is not, so I had to go every day to retrieve my car from the public parking lot located in the school courtyard, about 200 meters from the property. After returning from the beach, I would leave my car there again. Overall, there is a good balance between price and quality.
The Balkan house is the perfect accommodation. Clean, tidy, and in an excellent location. I wholeheartedly recommend the hosts. Regarding Nikana, I have nothing but praise. Every subsequent vacation will be booked through her.
Everything is perfect

We have stayed at Balkan House for the second time, this year from June 14th to 24th. My husband and I, along with our two small children, were accommodated in apartment number 4, whereas last year we were in number 3. Both apartments have ample space for a family of four, although apartment number 3 features two terraces and an additional bed. However, the difference of five square meters is noticeable. The accommodation is tidy and clean, and the woman who maintains it is exceptional. She changed the linens several times and truly does her job well. The kitchen is equipped with everything necessary to prepare a meal. The location of the accommodation is directly across from the church, just a minute's walk from the street lined with shops selling food and souvenirs. I recommend visiting the pastry shop "Delu", which is to the left upon exiting the accommodation, literally a minute's walk away. They offer excellent ice cream and pastries. It takes only a few minutes to walk to a beautiful beach with a restaurant that serves decent food and provides professional service. Overall, the accommodation is highly recommended.
Location, proximity to the beach and the main street with souvenirs
Cons
None
The apartment is very clean; for the first time in Greece, we experienced changing the bed linens three times in ten days and daily cleaning of the apartment.
It is located in the very center of Potos, and there is an option to use air conditioning.
Cons
The yard is untidy, and the chairs on the terrace are too large.
A lovely accommodation in a prime location (about 100 - 200m from the beach). Clean and comfortable apartment, cleaned daily, with bed linens changed every four days. The property is situated on the main road, yet it remains very quiet and pleasant. It features a large terrace and a mini kitchen with a spacious refrigerator that includes a separate freezing compartment. Overall, an excellent accommodation for the price.
An exceptionally comfortable apartment, hygiene is at a high standard - cleaned daily, superb location... excellent
comfortable apartment, exceptionally clean, great location
Cons
none
The accommodation is situated in an excellent location, and the cleanliness is commendable.
The accommodation seems to be located in the best area of Potos. The noise from the street is barely noticeable, and the maids are always available if anything is needed. The quality-to-price ratio is satisfactory.
All praise for the accommodation and the kind hostess.
Proximity to everything, cleanliness.
Cons
None.
It is rare to find an apartment that is cleaned daily and has bed linens and towels changed every three days. Such is the Balkan House!
The location is decent. It has its own parking.
Cons
There is too little space to pass between the furniture.
This is my third visit to this house. I am thoroughly pleased with the accommodation, cleanliness, and the hospitality of the owners.
The accommodation is situated in an excellent location, in a tranquil part of Potos. The owners are very courteous. Cleanliness is at a commendable level, with daily cleaning and linen and towel changes every three days.
Location, tranquility, cleanliness, excellent value for money.
Cons
There are hardly any drawbacks.
Our second home, starting this year. The hosts are wonderful people, and the hygiene is at an admirable level. Highly recommended.
We wouldn't change a thing :)! Everything is exactly as it should be :)!!! If we decide to vacation in Thassos again, it will definitely be Potos with accommodation at Balcan House!!! Best regards!
All praise for the accommodation and the excellent value for money. We have been vacationing in Greece for years, and this accommodation was exceptional. Although it may have an older appearance, it is cleaned daily, and towels are frequently changed. Everyone should truly experience the hospitality provided by the hosts of Balkan House accommodation.
We stayed in a small studio number 8, which met our expectations perfectly, as everything was just as depicted in the picture. The cleanliness and the changing of towels deserve the highest praise. All accolades go to Nika and Mila, who assisted us on multiple occasions and had answers to all our inquiries. Well done, Mila.
Excellent location in the center, close to the beach and market.
Cons
All praise goes to Nikana for their assistance in arranging accommodation. The Balkan Haus villa deserves every commendation for its location, spaciousness, comfort, cleanliness, hygiene, and daily upkeep of the apartment. I highly recommend it. It even offers parking.
Hygiene and parking!
Cons
The accommodation is wonderful, just as described. The apartment is spacious and is maintained daily. There are several towel replacements, exactly as stated. All praise goes to the hosts and the staff, and of course, all recommendations.
The accommodation at Balkan House villa was fantastic! The owners' hospitality was impeccable! The apartment had everything my family needed. Apartment No. 3 was spacious enough for us, featuring separate rooms and a huge bathroom! The villa's location is exceptional. The proximity to the sea and the promenade was a significant advantage of this accommodation! All praises, and we hope to see you again sometime! ❤️
Proximity to the sea and the promenade
Cons
None
The accommodation is situated in a prime location, the landlady is very kind, and the premises are maintained daily. Bed linens are changed every three days, and towels every other day.
Great location
Cons
We were not mistaken.
Accommodation, location of the property, parking, Elena's kindness (one of her daughters), internet, air conditioning, proximity to the city beach.
Cons
There are no drawbacks.
A perfectly decent accommodation with a good location in Potos, although it is not immediately next to the beach. A convenient spot for visiting the beautiful beaches on the island.
Good internet and cleanliness at a commendable level.
Cons
Insufficient kitchenware (plates, glasses, cutlery...) for all of us, even though we mostly dined outside the apartment. The presence of cats on the terrace every night (but I suppose this is common in Thassos).
The accommodation is clean, beautiful, and the hostess is welcoming and exceptionally kind.
Proximity to the beach and all the events.
Cons
When it is crowded in the area, noise from the street can be heard.
Hello, we were guests from Macedonia, and this is our second time on Thassos. I can tell you that the location of our accommodation is excellent; everything was close for walking, and most importantly, the beach. When it was hot, we could return to our room in just 2 minutes on foot. We stayed in apartment no. 1, which was clean, and the best part was that it was cool, so there was no need for air conditioning, even though it was available, and we were there when temperatures were nearly 40 degrees. The hosts were very hospitable, and the internet was very fast, which is rare to find in Greece. Overall, I can say it was perfect. Greetings from Macedonia.
Everything was accessible, with a promenade just 20m away. The beach was 2 minutes away. Private parking. Perfect!
Cons
I can't find any flaws.
Apartment number 5 has met all our expectations. The location of Balkan House is ideal, just a minute away from the promenade and a few minutes from the beach. The owners are very friendly. The cleanliness is at a commendable level.
Location, proximity to the beach and promenade
Cons
The sofa in the room with the kitchen was considered uncomfortable for sleeping by the children aged 13 and 11.
I cannot even recall how many times we have stayed at the Balkan House. It is an excellent accommodation, comfortable, featuring spacious terraces with wooden chairs, roomy apartments, and impeccable hygiene, located in the heart of Potos. The hosts are wonderful people. For my family and me, nothing more is needed, but of course, everything is a matter of taste and expectations.
Balkan House was perfect, a solid 10. Wonderful people, cleanliness rated at 10. We would recommend this accommodation to everyone. We have been there twice and will likely be their guests again!
Dear Nikana, I find it impossible to convey my impressions from the vacation. I still cannot return to reality after Thassos. First of all, thank you immensely for everything. You are brilliant in every sense. Our stay at Balkan House in Potos was more than pleasant; we felt right at home. The owners are wonderful. A special greeting to sweet Elena from the boys of Jakša. They are truly lovely people. The girls from Nikana are also wonderful and accommodating. A big hello to them as well. As for Thassos, I cannot express my impressions in just a few words, but truly... We are thrilled. Next year, at least 15 days, as that is barely enough to explore Thassos. I would stay there to live... (only if there is a kindergarten where I could work).
We stayed in apartment 4 (two adults and two children, aged 11 and 9), but a better choice would definitely be one of the apartments with two terraces. They offer more space and better lighting. The claustrophobic living room (as someone referred to it) was overshadowed by all the other lovely aspects that drew us here, so it did not spoil our overall impression. The apartment is cozy, the little terrace is wonderful and overlooks the courtyard. The description states that the apartment is on the first floor, but that is from the perspective of the courtyard; when you enter through the main entrance, it is actually on the ground floor, so we settled in quickly. For hygiene, Nikana, and friendliness, I give a rating of 10. If you plan to sit on the terrace in the evening, it would be wise to bring something for mosquitoes. I highly recommend Balkan House; it is in an excellent location, and everything is within reach.
Truly commendable. Both the apartment and Nikana are exceptional. They are always ready to assist with advice, suggestions, and answers. That is why they are at the very top of tourist agencies.
Everything is perfect, close to the beach, near all events, yet still peaceful. The WiFi is exceptionally strong.
Cons
None.
All praises for the Balkan House villa. Everything is as described; the apartments are cleaned daily, the bedding is changed every 2-3 days, and the hosts are very kind and always available. The yard is beautiful, a delight for children. On the terrace, there is a canopy that provides shade, making air conditioning unnecessary, and there are also mosquito nets. The location is excellent; everything is nearby yet peaceful (the apartments face the yard). I highly recommend this villa.
I wholeheartedly recommend Balkan House! There is not a single complaint; the owners are exceptionally kind, and the boys and girls from Nikana, whose office is part of the villa, are available at any moment for whatever you may need. The hygiene is top-notch, with apartments cleaned daily, and linens and towels changed every three days. There is a market next to the villa, and the villa has its own parking, so you need not worry about your cars. All in all, I highly recommend this villa; you will not regret it!
Yesterday, my girlfriend and I returned from Potos. We stayed at Balkan Haus (that’s what the owners named it, whether intentionally or by chance, I do not know) and I would recommend this establishment to everyone. The staff is extremely courteous (the landlady even helped us carry our things into the apartment upon arrival), and the accommodation is well-equipped and exceptionally clean. In the apartment, we had air conditioning, a TV, WiFi internet (quite good), a stove, a refrigerator, an electric kettle, a coffee maker, a sandwich toaster, an ice cube tray, all necessary dishes and cutlery, dishwashing detergent, a hairdryer in the bathroom, liquid soap, toilet paper, and a mat for exiting the shower cabin... Regarding maintenance, they change the bed linens every three days (each time you receive two clean towels per person), and the room is cleaned daily. They take out the trash every day and replace the bags in the bins (in the bathroom and kitchen). They regularly replenish liquid soap and toilet paper in the bathroom and dish detergent in the kitchen as needed. Additionally, there is secured parking about 80 to 100 meters from the establishment. ALL PRAISES AND EVERY RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS ACCOMMODATION! I would always gladly return to them. :) P.S. An appeal to tourists from Serbia: IT IS NOT HARD TO BE KIND!!!
We stayed at this accommodation from September 1st to 10th, 2017, and we have nothing but praise. My husband, our two small children, and I resided in apartment number 5. The place was clean and comfortable, with bed linens changed every three days, and the rooms were cleaned daily. The landlady was kind, as were the other members of her family. The parking lot is located 50 meters from the villa, but it is spacious and can accommodate 12-13 cars. The beach was satisfactory; we only visited in the afternoon, while we explored nearby beaches in the morning. The children enjoyed themselves, which is our top priority. We wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation and Nikana!
Proximity to the beach, parking, good Wi-Fi, cleanliness.
Cons
None.
An excellent choice if you do not plan to spend more than 3-4 hours a day (awake) in the room... and if you are sensitive to noise, you might be disturbed by the church bells ringing a few times a day.
Clean, well-equipped, in a good location, excellent internet.
Cons
Small room, church across the street causing bell noise and similar disturbances, everything else is great.
Beautiful and new, the towels and bed linens are cleaned every day, truly everything deserves praise. The only peculiar thing is the cleaner, always nervous and frowning, but she works excellently and keeps repeating "AVRIO, AVRIO". All in all, it’s a good accommodation in the center, with its own parking, which is very important, and a night guard, so overall it’s great. If we go again, we will choose this place. My recommendation.
Everything is an advantage.
Cons
There are no downsides, maybe the cats that climb onto the terrace at night and sleep on the table, and the funny cleaner.
We are extremely satisfied with the accommodation. It is tidy, clean, and well-maintained. The woman who cleans it does so impeccably; the apartment is tidied up every day. The beds are comfortable. The church is located across the street, and its bells can be heard, but that only happens on Sunday mornings. Potos is a small place, and everything is nearby. The people from Nikana's agency are kind and accommodating.
I stayed with my husband and daughter in studio number 2 from July 3rd to July 13th, 2017. It is a 2+1 studio located on the ground floor, overlooking the courtyard. Everything is just as shown in the pictures: clean, tidy, and beautifully furnished. Our room was cleaned every day, and towels and bed linens were changed every 2-3 days. The owner is very kind and unobtrusive. The room is quite pleasant, as there is an awning on the terrace that protects from the sun, so we rarely needed the air conditioning. We seldom heard the bells of the church across the street, and they truly did not bother us at all.
Location, cleanliness, mosquito nets that are very important, large refrigerator. The kitchen is well equipped; you might just need a slightly better frying pan if you plan to cook something, as the one there is in poor condition.
Cons
None.
We spent 15 days; the rooms are beautiful and cleaned every day. The location is lovely, and the staff at the agency located on the ground floor of the house are friendly and always ready to offer great advice for exploring Thassos.
Excellent location
Cons
The Balkan house is situated in an excellent location, right in the center and very close to the beach. We stayed in an apartment on the upper floor. I highly recommend this accommodation.
Tasos is an excellent destination for a vacation. It is neither too small nor too large an island, allowing for plenty to be explored in about ten days, though certainly not everything, which necessitates a return visit. There are many sandy beaches where we truly enjoyed ourselves. Psiliamos, San Antonio (home to the fantastic café-restaurant Sea Breeze, where we recommend the chicken and avocado quesadillas), and Notos are our three favorite beaches. A small note about Notos: the beach itself is wild, dirty, and unkempt, but the water, the color of the sea, and the sand are phenomenal, so those unbothered by these aspects will certainly enjoy this small beach. It is essential to visit Panagia, where there is a source of love and a little bridge that couples should cross to be forever happy and in love. The most beautiful sunset is undoubtedly at the small beach Atspas, where the service is excellent and the staff is very friendly. Our recommendation for those who love good lamb is to visit Teologos. And do not forget to visit the Monastery of St. Archangel Michael. In conclusion, Tasos has captured our hearts, and we definitely plan to visit again.
The accommodation is located in an excellent area, and a significant advantage is the secured parking.
Cons
There are no downsides, and there are neither bees nor mosquitoes, as some have mentioned.
We were accommodated in this villa at the end of August this year. I have nothing but praise for you, primarily due to the cleanliness and the friendly owner. I would also like to commend the staff of your agency (especially Ana). Apartment number 3 is very comfortable, considering that we were five people, two adults and children aged 18, 16, and 14. Every day when we returned from the beach, we found the apartment cleaned, with fresh towels. The beach is very close, there is secure parking, right in the center of Potos, and yet it is very quiet on the terraces, as they overlook the olive grove in the yard. I will certainly recommend it to all my friends.
The accommodation is excellent. We stayed from August 25th to September 5th in apartment number 6, which overlooks the courtyard. We are extremely satisfied, especially considering we were traveling with a small child. It is wonderfully quiet, with no noise at all. The lady cleans every day, and towels and bed linens are changed every two days. We give our highest praises and recommendations!
We stayed at the Balkan House villa at the end of August. A family of five with three adult children aged 14, 16, and 18 was accommodated in apartment number 3. The apartment is comfortable, featuring a separate bedroom with a double bed and its own terrace. The second room contains a kitchen, a small table, and two beds, plus an auxiliary bed that, when unfolded, is the same size as the other beds. This room also has a separate terrace, and both terraces overlook a completely tranquil courtyard. What impressed me was the cleanliness; the apartments are cleaned every day, and towels and bed linens are replaced impeccably. We saw the landlady three times - we barely managed to catch her to pay the rent. On the ground floor of the villa, there is a representative office of the Nikana agency with very friendly staff (special greetings to Ana). You have all my recommendations, keep up the good work.
Cleanliness, proximity to the sea, friendly owners, comfort, accommodating agency representatives.
Cons
None.
We stayed in a double room apartment at Balkan House in Potos from August 20th to August 30th, 2016. The apartment is not large, but that is mentioned, however, it has everything necessary, even for those who wish to cook. The balcony is spacious. Everything is clean, and the linens and towels are changed every two to three days. The internet is excellent. The location is superb in terms of distance from the beach, cafes, and taverns. The only downside is that it can be a bit noisy at night, as the street is right in front, with motorcycles and cars passing by, and the church across the house can ring its bell early in the morning. All in all, we enjoyed our stay. The staff at Nikana is present at the entrance of the house, ready to assist in any situation. Discount cards are provided for certain restaurants, so make sure to check in at the agency as soon as you arrive. We were unaware and accidentally walked in just before the end of our vacation, and the girl gave us a card. In Limenaria, there is a tavern that offers a 15% discount with that card.
Excellent location in proximity to the beach, cafes, and taverns.
Cons
Proximity to the church and the main street.
My husband and I have moved into a 2+1 room and we are very pleased with the service. The rooms are of hotel quality, everything is exceptionally clean and tidy. My wife tidies up the rooms every day, and towels and bed linens are changed every other day. The beach is less than a minute's walk away, and right next to it is a market as well as a promenade.
Cleanliness, parking, proximity to the beach, Wi-Fi, free air conditioning, a terrace that is always shaded.
Cons
We were accommodated on the street side, and considering that traffic continues until the early morning hours, along with trucks that deliver goods to the nearby market in the morning, and since we are accustomed to peace, we slept with the windows closed and the air conditioning on.
This is the only accommodation where I would stay again if I returned to Potos. The location is excellent; it’s nothing fancy, but it is exceptionally clean and tidy. They change the towels, it seems, every other day, and even the housekeeper washed the dishes for us. We stayed in apartment number 4, each room has its own air conditioning and TV, along with a beautiful terrace in the shade. The villa has its own parking just 50 meters from the apartment, which is a significant advantage. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the bathroom features a proper shower cabin instead of those worn-out curtains that barely fit. I am extremely satisfied.
All of the above
Cons
Poor Wi-Fi signal, but it seems to be the case everywhere, even at the beach.
My wife and I, along with our three children, stayed from August 15, 2015, to August 24, 2015. Our experience was phenomenal. The spacious apartment featured a large refrigerator combined with a freezer, which was particularly significant for us as we froze portions for our portable fridge that we took to all the beaches without bars. We only saw the landlady on the first day, and she assisted us in bringing our belongings inside. Cleaning was done daily, and bed linens and towels were replaced every 2-3 days. The awnings on the terraces were perfect. The kitchen in the apartment was well-equipped. The spacious bathroom added to our comfort. The agency Nikana proved to be outstanding; they were available for everything we needed. This has been our best vacation so far, and for the first time, the pictures and description of the villa matched the actual condition perfectly.
The private parking was very beneficial for us. There was a seating area in front of the villa where we relaxed late into the night. A hairdryer is a great asset when you forget to bring one ;-)
Cons
None
From July 6 to July 16, 2014, I stayed with my wife and two children (8.5 and 2.5 years old). Accommodation unit number 9. One of three that overlook the church and the street. The French bed and one auxiliary bed used by the older child were excellent, slightly shorter than the French bed, but remarkably comfortable. The furniture appears new or at least gives that impression, and the hygiene in the room is commendable. The owner's daughter, who is constantly present at the property, takes care of this and truly deserves praise. The room is spacious enough, and at first, the space in one wardrobe seemed small to me, but once we unpacked, we managed to fit everything we needed. The bathroom, equipped with a shower cabin, is spacious, with a large cabinet for small items, and very nicely arranged. It is also commendable that there is a towel for exiting the shower, which was changed daily. The other towels were changed every three days, as was the bedding. There were three large and three small towels, as this studio is classified as 2+1. Since we have visited many accommodations in Greece, especially on Thassos, I was pleasantly surprised by details such as dish detergent, a sponge, and bath products in the bathroom. We hardly encountered this anywhere else. Now, I would like to briefly comment on the noise and crowd on the street, as well as the presence of the church. When we wanted to book accommodation, one of the comments was that the church, which makes a terrible noise through the megaphone, is a significant drawback. We arrived on Sunday around 1 PM, and all week I was waiting for the church to finally announce itself, but it was silent. The liturgy was held only on Sunday, July 13, 2014, around 8-9 AM, when the bells rang and the liturgy was broadcast. Of course, by that time, we were already having breakfast and preparing for the beach. The afternoon ringing was around 6 PM, but we were still at the beach then, and it didn't bother us at all. I truly expected much more noise and disturbance from the mentioned church, but what we experienced was negligible. In the morning hours, we could hear trucks passing by, occasionally stopping to deliver goods to the nearby supermarket. The terrace had a large awning, guaranteeing shade, but the direct sun avoided us except briefly in the morning. The terraces facing the street are quite narrow, which is one of the complaints about the accommodation. They have length, but the problem lies in their width :( Another detail that delighted me was the wine glasses!!! A detail that might not catch the eye of many, but for us, it was a huge plus. Regarding the internet, there were some difficulties, but thanks to Iva from Nikana's agency, we resolved that issue as well, so thank you once again on this occasion. This was our first time on Thassos through Nikana, and our fourth overall, considering that both we and the children carry excellent impressions and wonderful memories from this vacation. A deal has already been made for the next year... Thassos through Nikana.
The great advantage of the property is that it is literally a two-minute walk from the 'center'. It takes just two minutes to reach the bakery, grocery store, and butcher shop. In the evenings, it's also pleasant for a stroll. The beach is nearby, and by taking a side street, you can reach a part of the beach that is not overly crowded.
Cons
Regarding the accommodation itself, the only complaint is about the width of the terrace and that there could be one smaller pot alongside a larger one. Another complaint concerns parking, as the existence of private parking amounts to having free parking on public parking.
From July 7th to July 17th, 2014, my husband, our two daughters, my cousin, and I stayed in apartment number 4. We have nothing but praise, as everything was excellent. For those who wish to prepare meals, the kitchen is well-equipped. The wardrobe is spacious, with plenty of shelves and drawers (with two teenagers, you can imagine how many things we have). The terrace overlooks the courtyard, which I find wonderful, as I have seen apartments facing the street, and seeing towels hanging there is not appealing to me. That's why I like this place. We stayed in apartment 4. The young landlady is a lovely girl who maintains everything beautifully. Our towels were changed after 2 days, even though it states they are changed every 3 days. You get one towel for showering and one smaller one per person. Nikana and her team are exceptional, especially Iva. We are sure that next year we will return to Tasos, Nikana, and Balkan Haus. A big thank you to Nikana and her team!
In the center yet no noise; just a 2-minute walk to the beach through a cheerful little street; parking is secured across the street; the hosts are wonderful, we only saw their daughter.
Cons
There is none... oh, there is one... the long wait until next summer and vacation.
We stayed in a ground-floor apartment, which was perfect for our family of four (parents + two children). For those who choose to prepare their own meals while on vacation, the kitchen is adequately equipped, so there’s no need to worry. Our children enjoyed themselves on the terrace and in the yard, where they also played.
I appreciate that the apartments are located right in the center of Potos, yet facing the beach, and no external noise disrupts the relaxation. On the other hand, all necessary amenities (shops, promenades, cafes, restaurants...) are just 100 meters away, which is a significant advantage.
Cons
The only complaint I have is the poor selection of satellite channels, but we managed to find one channel with cartoons for the kids. Everything else was great!
We stayed from August 18 to August 28, 2013, with my wife and our two children (11 and 4 years old) in apartment number 4, and our stay was exceedingly pleasant.
Hygiene, parking, location, and the apartment's amenities...
Cons
Nothing particularly noteworthy.
I stayed with my husband and our one-year-old baby in the second half of August at Balkan Haus, in a studio 2+1. We were completely satisfied with the studio itself, its appearance, amenities, cleanliness, everything! Considering we were with a baby, these details are crucial, and everything was perfect. I have no complaints; I would recommend it to everyone. The hostess even washed our dishes on the days we couldn't manage. Every day she cleaned and emptied the trash can, and besides that, she is exceptionally pleasant and warm-hearted, which is an additional plus. The only downside might be that it was a bit warmer on the terrace from noon onwards due to the sun's position, but those are things you can't influence. All in all, I highly recommend it!!!
Central location, beach within a 5-minute walk, nearby parking, everything is new and well-maintained, just perfect!
Cons
NONE
I stayed with my wife and son in apartment number 1 from August 16 to August 26, 2013. The villa is located right in the center of Potos, with everything you need in close proximity. The apartment is very beautiful, well-equipped, and the cleanliness is at an admirable level. It faces the courtyard, ensuring peace and quiet. I have nothing but praise for the housekeeper Anastasija for her meticulousness, kindness, and unobtrusiveness. The church bells and occasional liturgies can be heard, but I personally found them pleasant. The girls from the Nikana agency are very friendly, accommodating, and sweet.
Location, comfort, hygiene... If we were to return to Thassos, we would make sure to reserve the same apartment in advance!
Cons
None
We are extremely satisfied with the accommodation at Balkan Haus and all the services that accompanied it.
The apartment's amenities, maintenance, and location were ideal.
Cons
The only suggestion would concern the auxiliary beds in the first room, which were too short for our children.
I stayed with my family in apartment number 3 during the first half of August 2013. The accommodation was excellent, all praises. We owe special thanks, in addition to the friendly staff of Nikana's agency, to Anastasia, who ensured that nothing was lacking in the villa.
Beautiful villa in the center of Potos, secured parking, daily cleaning, and bed linen and towel replacement every three days. Each room is equipped with air conditioning, a TV, Wi-Fi, and two terraces with awnings in the shade of the olive grove. Overall, excellent accommodation at an affordable price.
Cons
The only downside is the lack of a barbecue in the yard :(
I vacationed with my husband and two children from July 26 to August 9, 2013, in a 4+1 apartment. The villa is new, the apartment is spacious and well-equipped, and the terrace is lovely. Hygiene is at a high level (thanks to Anastasia). The location is excellent, everything is within reach. We were delighted with the accommodation as well as with Tasos itself. Highly recommended. I believe we will come back again.
All amenities for a wonderful vacation.
Cons
Nothing significant (we only had internet for the first 5 days).
We vacationed from July 27 to August 9, 2013. My husband, I, and our two daughters (ages 5 and 11). We were accommodated in a 4+1 apartment, which was perfect in every sense of the word. The location was ideal, right in the center (about thirty meters from a bakery and a supermarket), yet completely sheltered from the hustle and bustle as the apartment overlooks the courtyard. The apartment was spacious and equipped with everything necessary. Daily cleaning of the apartment, with linen and towels changed every other day. Special praise goes to Anastasia, who is always there for anything you need, very polite yet unobtrusive. Be sure to visit the village of Teologos and do not miss the lamb at the Stelios tavern!
Excellent wi-fi signal. Hygiene at a high level (Anastasia cleans impeccably - she is the greatest advantage :). Washing machine available whenever you need it.
Cons
The terrace could be a bit larger, if that can even be considered a downside. The courtesy of the agency staff was rather low (unfortunately, we did not meet Ana).
From August 1st to 11th, 2013, we stayed at Balkan House in Potos. It was a family trip with my wife, our two children – a son aged 2.5 years and a daughter aged 7 months, along with my wife's younger sister. It was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely return when the kids are a bit older. A heartfelt thank you to the girls from Nikana for their kindness.
The accommodation is located in the center of Potos, everything is just a 2-3 minute walk away.
Cons
There are mosquitoes, and although there are mosquito nets, some still manage to get through. It’s nothing too serious.
I vacationed with my wife and two children from June 23 to July 2, 2013, in apartment number 1. The accommodation was excellent, located on the ground floor of the villa, very spacious and comfortable. Last year, we also vacationed in the Balkan Haus villa, and I would like to express my utmost praise for the staff of the Nikana agency as well as for the personnel maintaining the villa.
A very beautiful villa with an excellent location in the center of Potos. The property is cleaned daily, and the bedding is changed every three days, although you can request fresh linens and towels whenever you wish from the friendly staff who maintain the villa.
Cons
There are no drawbacks.
I vacationed with my husband and our five-year-old daughter in a two-bedroom apartment during the second half of June. The apartment is excellently equipped, and I particularly emphasize that all rooms had air conditioning and a television. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes and necessary appliances, and the apartment has good-speed cable internet. The bathroom is modern, comfortable, and features a shower cabin. The apartment is cleaned every day, and the linens and towels are changed every third day. Balkan House is located near the beach, promenade, and all amenities in the small but beautiful Potos.
Well-equipped apartment with modern furniture, excellent hygiene, professional and friendly housekeeper Anastasija, and a great location. I also want to highlight that this accommodation has a washing machine exclusively for guests, which you can use at any time.
Cons
A minor drawback could be that, despite a large satellite channel offering, very few channels are European, and there are no Serbian channels. Additionally, this accommodation is located across from a church, which makes the view from the terrace beautiful, but it may disturb you if you are not an early riser.
From June 13th to 26th, I stayed with my husband, baby, and sister in a 4+1 apartment. We were extremely satisfied with the service; the apartment was cleaned daily. The apartment is comfortable, and the large bathroom is a significant advantage, providing ample space for the stroller and the small pool. The lady responsible for cleanliness is very pleasant and kind. We lacked nothing. All in all, we would come back again :)
Proximity to the beach and all the activities, yet away from the largest crowds on the promenade. Secured parking.
Cons
The only downside is that the internet signal is very poor, and we only had it late at night for 1-2 hours.
I stayed with my husband. Vacationing in Thassos is an exploration of beautiful beaches surrounded by olive trees and pines, planning a visit to the authentic village of Theologos, where delicious lamb is served... In the evening, romantic restaurants by the sea or mini parties in cafes... Greetings to the cheerful and friendly staff at Nikan. To Ani, and again to Ani and Natasha.
The villa is new and well-equipped. Everything is nearby, and everyone is friendly.
Cons
Rooms facing the street are a bit noisy, but those overlooking the garden and olive grove are perfect.
In August 2012, I stayed with my family. The three-person studio, facing the main street, was quite small (I can't say how many square meters, but we couldn't pass by each other in the room). There was an air conditioner, as without it, the stay becomes unbearable; in a room with two exterior walls, the heat becomes oppressive after just half an hour. Overall, there was nothing particularly special about it.
A newly renovated room located right in the center of Potos.
Cons
Communication with the landlord and 'associated individuals' was difficult as they spoke no English. There is a church across the street with speakers broadcasting the liturgy outside, guaranteeing a wake-up call around 7:30.
In August 2012, I stayed with my family and relatives. Located in the center, just three minutes from the beach, it is quiet and peaceful, with excellent parking. The hosts are unobtrusive and courteous, with no complaints whatsoever. We recommend it to anyone who wishes to enjoy a yard and feel at home. The apartments are beautifully decorated.
Beautifully decorated and clean apartments. Centrally located yet removed from noise. Great parking. Internet is available if needed.
Cons
There are no significant downsides, but it would be much nicer if one could directly access the yard from the terrace. A grill is missing.
During the period from July 19 to July 30, 2012, I stayed at Balkan Haus with my girlfriend in a ground-floor apartment for two.
Parking, cleanliness - room service, modern apartments, always hot water, spacious terraces, air conditioning...
Cons
Wi-Fi internet is only available from the lobby. Limited selection of TV channels.
I stayed with my son and wife. Everything regarding the accommodation was satisfactory. The only downside was that it was a bit noisy, considering it is right next to the main street, or rather the road.
Proximity to the beach, proximity to the city center, proximity to markets, private parking.
Cons
No significant drawbacks.
I vacationed with my family, my wife and two children from June 25 to July 8, 2012. The three-person studio features one French bed and an extra bed, making it an ideal accommodation for a family with one child under five years old; otherwise, a larger apartment should be considered. Regarding the apartment itself, it is very clean, with bed linens and towels changed every four days, and regular cleaning is maintained. The kitchen is excellent, equipped with a flat cooking surface and a combined refrigerator, providing ample space for groceries. The bathroom has a shower cabin and is well-equipped, including a hairdryer. The terrace is perfect, furnished with a wooden table and very comfortable chairs, and it features an awning for shade. The apartment we stayed in is a studio on the ground floor, number 2. Within the villa, there is also Nika's agency, which, believe it or not, has a library where you can borrow books to read. The entire staff, starting from the owners who are very kind and unobtrusive, to the employees of the agency, are very professional, friendly, and helpful. They strive to accommodate your needs, even providing discount cards for numerous restaurants and shops throughout Thassos. All praise goes to Ana, whom we had the opportunity to meet, as well as to the agency and the staff.
The villa is located in the very center of Potos, is new, and well-equipped. There is a relaxation area in front of the villa, and a beautiful space for resting at the entrance. The kind hosts make it ideal for families with children, as it also has a yard. Parking for cars is beside the villa.
Cons
None.
I stayed with my family from June 15th to June 30th. Everything was as they told us, except that the weather did not quite cooperate. The villa is located right in the center, about 200 meters from the beach, which is decent. I recommend the Garden Grill restaurant, where the food is excellent and the prices are reasonable compared to the café right on the beach, which is extremely expensive. Be sure to visit the beautiful St. Michael's Monastery with its stunning view, Golden Beach where the waves are the best, the village of Teologos known for its exquisite lamb, and Panagiu with its lovely shops in the center. In my opinion, Potos is the best place on Thassos.
Great location. There is always parking available in front of the house. The hostess is very kind. Extremely clean.
Cons
