Saint George Sithonia

This is a charming boutique hotel, off the beaten path, so if you don't like crowds this is for you. There is a private beach with chairs and umbrellas a short walk from the hotel. They serve breakfast only, which is excellent, all other meals must be taken in town so a car is highly recommended. The stars of this hotel are the two hosts, Michalis and Daniela who work long days and nights to ensure that their guests are happy. They do everything, front desk, cooking and setup of breakfast, cleaning of all rooms, etc. I was amazed at what an excellent job they did, and the hotel was at capacity! I cannot say enough good things about those two! We had 16 people in our group and everyone raved about those two. The only cons - the A/C could not keep up with the extreme heat and it was difficult to sleep some nights. The owner rented us his boat and when we tried to refuel it we realized he did not leave the fuel key. We spent most of the day anchored swimming so we did not use much fuel. He then accused us of using ALL the fuel and said we owed him an additional 120 EU. Knowing that the tank was still 1/2 full, we said we'd come back to fill it up ourselves. When we arrived, surprise! no fuel key again! We searched everywhere, (again), on his boat looking for the key, wasting over an hour, (2 hours including round trip transit), of our time. I have been a professional mariner for over 20 years so I know my way around boats, there was no way that that key was left anywhere on the boat. If he was so mad that we "left it on empty", why didn't he meet us there with the key? This man is a scam artist and completely tainted what was otherwise a great trip.

I booked tow rooms here and stayed 3 days 2 nights with 6 family members. As a service, The hotel deposit requirements were waived due to a bank transfer issue. This made me feel good knowing that they would work with us and let us pay upon arrival. All they asked was for me to confirm our stay 14 days prior to arrival. This property is clean, safe and private. I was amazed that only 2 staff members managed and operated the entire property. Cooked Breakfast, cleaned rooms, front desk reception. They did it all. They would be up till midnight serving guest drinks and then have breakfast ready in the morning. The beach is clean and private, although there is no direct access, you must make a small 200 ft. walk around a private residence to the beach. The property is within a 15 minute drive to Neos Mamaras which is a nice eclectic community. You must try the Panos Restaurant about a mile away from the hotel. Fantastic food and unbelievable value, except the seafood is a higher cost. Great atmosphere and a beautiful view. I highly recommend this property if you want a private beach, privacy and local flavor without the crowded beaches, I can recommend this property
