Port of Katakolo

Front desk staff very friendly and helpful especially Odysseus and Katherine! Breakfast was good - eggs, bacon, breads, yogurt, dried fruit, and room had a terrace view of the neighborhood. Walk to Syntagma Square was a bit too far for these two seniors, but there was a bus stop about two short blocks away that made it easy to get to the square and connect to other bus/tram/metro lines to get to other attractions. Staff arranged for a taxi to the airport since we were departing early, and made us a nice breakfast to go.

The room and private pool/patio were lovely & comfortable, especially the lounge furniture on the patio. But it was impossible to get to the nice seating area below this and closer to the sea unless you went through your pool. The small complex of 4 rooms is built into the hillside, so you must descend 2 flights of stairs. We are elderly & appreciated the elevator! Excellent breakfast, which is delivered. Small kitchenette with dishes, kettle, microwave. Better signage needed to find this small hotel nestled between other holiday houses, but a staff person arranges to meet you there and they readily communicate by text during your stay. This is a beautiful area of Greece and feels very peaceful. It is lovely to look past the blue light of the pool at night to see the lights of Palairos across the water. The sun rises directly across from the large glass doors, which is pretty but heats the room up quite a bit (use the ceiling fan!).

The hotel itself is a great place. Once you leave the hotel and walk in the wrong direction you must be aware of everything around you. There are some shady characters hanging out watching especially at night. If you stay on the main streets you will be ok. Once off the beatin path you’re taking a chance.
