I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, which is perched on a hillside offering breathtaking views of the mountains and the bay. The rooms were spacious and came with lovely touches like wine and fruit upon arrival. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel truly welcomed. However, the hotel is a bit of a trek from the village of Lerapetra, which might not be ideal for everyone. Overall, it felt like great value for money, especially with the comfortable accommodations and the beautiful setting.
