Diamond Palace Hotel – Gytheio

Built in the 'castle'Mani style this hotel shows it's traditional side as well as the beachy feel of a modern seaside hotel. Nice! A newer hotel with lots of updates. Beautiful rooms and baths and fantastic views. It is only a few steps walk to the beautiful beach. Sun beds and shades are located in… Continue reading Diamond Palace Hotel – Gytheio

Akrogiali Beach – Restaurants

This small and sleepy village of Akrogiali - "the end of the beach" still has a number of good restaurants to choose from. The day of our arrival when we could not find our apartment we stopped at the Taverna Akrogiali and the owner took my husband in his own car to show him where… Continue reading Akrogiali Beach – Restaurants

The Sunset Beach Hotel

Another 'feels-like-home' family run hotel, the Sunset Beach Hotel, has been a favorite of ours since we stumbled upon it in 2012. It is one of the best run, most well kept, and beautiful hotels in Greece and just a short drive from Athens. The winding street coming into the small town of Xiropigado gives… Continue reading The Sunset Beach Hotel

Mare Dei Suites Ionian Resort

The soft sand stretches like a golden ribbon across the private sun-drenched beach, tucked into a secluded cove. You feel compelled toward the sea. The warmth of the sand filters through your toes and you can anticipate the cool refreshing water. The crystal clear water laps at your toes and you fall into the blanket… Continue reading Mare Dei Suites Ionian Resort

A Special Place- Mytikas

The Dionisos Hotel has been a favorite of ours since 2012 when we spent a few days here and again later in 2015. Now we are back to another place that 'feels-like-home'. Our hosts son has taken over the day-to-day operations but still remembers us from previous trips. Welcomed again with joy and open arms… Continue reading A Special Place- Mytikas

Paresos Hotel and Nea Anchialaos

One of our favorite spots on mainland Greece we happened upon quite by chance a few years ago and come back every time we are in Greece - Nea Anchialios. Just 20 km from Volos it is tucked into a quiet little bay on the Pageaetic Gulf. We have stayed at the Paresos Hotel for… Continue reading Paresos Hotel and Nea Anchialaos

Marathon Beach Hotel and Resort

As we drove along the beach way toward our hotel for the night we noticed a lot of young people in full party mode, lots of music and fun happening here! We arrived at the Marathon Beach Hotel fairly late as we docked at Athens at about 7:30 and had an hour and a half… Continue reading Marathon Beach Hotel and Resort
