"A very convenient and comfortable place to stay in Aegina. The apartment was very well maintained and serviced. We enjoyed the sea view. Parking was available right outside the block all the time we were there. There is a supermarket five minutes walk away, but you have a lot of cafes and restaurants to choose from very nearby too. We would definitely recommend to friends."
"A very nice clean condo. Great location, very close to the ferry port, beach and numerous restaurants. The staff was fantastic and could not be more helpful. I look forward to visit again."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Utopia Suites on Aegina Island. The host was very friendly and in communication with us as detailed after the booking process. We had changes to our arrival time and they were able to accommodate us with an earlier check in.
The location is very close to all the restaurants and shops in town. We walked everywhere. The suite was extremely clean and well maintained with all amenities you would need (kitchenette, iron, washing machine etc)
