I recently stayed at Hotel Katerina as one of the stops during my two-week trip to Greece to celebrate my birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience. I only wish we could have stayed longer!
Hotel Katerina's location is perfect - within walking distance of both the beaches and the city center, with a convenient bus stop right out front for those days when you don't feel like walking. And because it’s located up a hill, the views from the hotel are simply breathtaking.
The highlight of our stay was the warm, family-owned and operated atmosphere. Petros, the father, kindly picked us up at the ferry, while his daughter, Vicky, managed everything with the flair of an expert concierge. George, the son, ran the restaurant/bar during the day, while the younger daughter, Katerina, took over in the evening. Maria, the mother was always working tirelessly behind the scenes, and if you’re lucky, you might even get a glimpse of the matriarch, Katerina, after whom the hotel is named! Adding to the charm is George’s girlfriend, Katlyn from Australia, who assisted during the day, and the chef, Jessie (I hope I got her name right), who prepared the incredible food. Oh, and I can’t forget their “mascot” Morty, the most adorable dog you’ll ever meet! (I only wish he had a few more balls to play with! Just kidding
The only thing I wish was different was the restaurant was open a little later but they provided other options for us of places that delivered so it all worked out!
