Find the Cheap Xilokastro Evrostini Hotels

We stayed for 6 nights at the end of September. The hotel comprises 22 rooms on a site immediately adjoining the sea, with a bar/restaurant, a pool area leading directly to a shingle beach and access to the sea. Being approximately 2 hours from Athens Airport, it is a good stepping off point for tours to the Peloponnese, and I expect many guests may want to stay there for one or two nights as part of the tour or as a stop-over. The hotel was quiet whilst we were there - I estimate a third full. The establishment is family-run, and all staff are most helpful and willing to provide whatever they can to assist guests and provide them with what they want. We had a sea view room, with spectacular views of the Bay of Corinth, and enjoyed the sound of the waves lapping the shore. The room was possibly the smallest double room we have ever experienced, with minimal storage, so we were living out of suitcases for the duration. Perhaps it would have been a good idea to have booked a triple room for extra space! The room was clean and well serviced. The beach, as remarked, is shingle, and is effectively a private beach, with two points of access into the clear waters. At this time of the year, some rougher seas are to be expected in what is a very open area of sea. There are beach type sun loungers available. The pool, approximately 12 metres, is well looked after. The pool area also serves to provide the outdoor seating for the restaurant, but space for sunbeds is highly limited – there were only 5 when we were there. Fortunately, it was low season, and so there was little competition! We were on a room only basis, but took breakfast in the hotel. Breakfast is served to the table (a legacy of Covid restrictions, they say) and was of good quality, although choice was somewhat limited – understandable given the low number of patrons. However, it would surely have been possible to provide some alternative or change to the fruit choice – grapes or grapes! Service at breakfast was usually slow. The restaurant is open throughout the day, with a reasonable choice. This was useful, as good tavernas in the area are hard to find, and the best seemed to have closed for the season. We particularly enjoyed the sea bream, but we were disappointed to find that this was the only fish choice out of the three mains that evening, and on another evening when we dined at the hotel, there were no fish mains available. Only when we expressed dissatisfaction were we offered a swordfish steak (from the freezer?) The owner explained that we could have asked the hotel to get fish in for us, but some advance warning of that option would have avoided disappointment on the night. Similarly, the bar has a very limited selection of drinks, and again, although the staff were willing to order in specific beverages that they didn’t have (or to re-order when the bottle was empty) we, I’m sure, would not be the only ones unwilling to put them to that trouble or expense for the sake

It started as a surprise trip for my boyfriend who at the beginning was very hesitant about it . We arrived late in the afternoon and the moment we stepped in to the reception it felt very cozy and welcoming. The dearest Gioula greeted us with the warmest smile and some house made walnut liquor which was delicious. The room was spacious and wonderfully arranged with a big fireplace (the logs were replenished every day for our convenience ) , a sitting area made entirely of a cow’s fur, a very comfortable queen size bed and my personal favorite the fluffiest sheepskin rug that felt like you are standing on a cloud . The next morning we woke to have a delicious buffet breakfast which had something different every day and we were off to explore the area which he eventually loved , as we initially had booked for 2 nights and we stayed 3. I would say that I definitely recommend Archontiko Fíamegou for your getaway at Trikala which is a truly Archontiko with lovely lords Mrs. Mary and Mr.Dimitris ,the owners, who made you feel truly like home .
