Situated within less than 1 km of Rapaniana Beach and 13 km of Platanias Square, Sclopa The Laography Project features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Kolymvari. A hot tub and a bicycle rental service are available for guests. Set in a historic building, the property has a year-round outdoor pool and is located 13 km from Agios Dimitrios Church. I'm not the type of person who usually gives a 10. There's always room for improvement, after all! But here, I can't think of anything which could have been better. - Stelios is the best host you can dream of. He will make you feel you're staying at a friend's. He is also an excellent advisor for the region - The house is just magnificient. Perfectly renovated in the best taste. Every tiny detail has been thought to be genuine. There are only 5 apartments, so the location remains very intimitate - The location is just perfect, so quiet in the heights of a small village, far from the buzz of the main towns, yet very accessible by car

Located 27 km from Fortress of Frangokastello, Anopoli Rooms offers air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The guest house features family rooms. We stayed here with my mom for one night, and it completely exceeded our expectations. The village itself is quiet and charming, set in the mountains, and the whole experience—from the hotel to the taverna and the wonderful host—was just perfect. From the start, we felt very welcomed. We were helped with our luggage to the third floor, and it felt like we were given one of the best rooms, with a stunning view of the mountains. The room was spacious, beautifully renovated, with elegant furniture and thoughtful design—it was clear a lot of care went into creating such a comfortable space. Everything was spotless, fresh, and bright, from the bedroom to the bathroom. We also ate at the taverna that belongs to the hotel, and the food was absolutely delicious. The owner is such a kind, helpful person—he gave us great advice on routes and places to visit, and it was truly a pleasure to meet him. We loved everything about our stay and honestly didn’t want to leave.

Excellent location right in the old town, near the Venetian port, but in a very quiet street. Large and bright room, with all the amenities you need. The owners are very nice and always willing to help. We booked a parking spot with them, which turned out to be very convenient.

The units are equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a fridge, a coffee machine, a walk-in shower, bathrobes and a desk. Featuring a private bathroom, units at the homestay also offer free WiFi. At the homestay, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels. I'm not usually one for writing reviews—let alone one that sounds like a travel blog—but I’ve got the time, and something about this place just gets under your skin. This is my second time staying at Agia Fotia, and I didn’t think it was possible to enjoy it more than the first—but I have. It’s a small, family-run taverna in a quiet, out-of-the-way spot, and that’s exactly what makes it special. There’s no big show here. Just real people, running a place with heart. The food is excellent. We tried a different dish every day, and each one hit the mark. Nothing fussy—just good, honest cooking that makes you want to slow down and enjoy it properly. If you’re looking for a place to stay while racing around sightseeing, this probably isn’t it. But if you want to switch off, swim in warm sea water, snorkel around some beautiful rocks, and lose track of time, then this is exactly the right place. Bring sea shoes—the beach is rocky—and don’t bother with anything fancy. It’s a slops-and-T-shirt kind of place. A small tip (literally): staff appreciate cash tips, since the new Greek laws mean card tips are taxed. They work hard and make you feel genuinely welcome, so keep that in mind. Part of me hesitates to even write this—I'd rather not have too many people discover it. But the family deserve every bit of success. They’ve put a lot into this place, and it shows. I’ll definitely be back, probably more often than I should. Come for the peace and quiet. Stay for the food, the sea, and the kind of hospitality that’s getting harder to find these days.
