"I was “in-between” places and Sappho Hotel was in the budget, location and availability for three nights. My ONLY negative comment and it’s not just Sappho hotel, is that there are no designated smoking areas. As a non smoker you’re subjected to it everywhere. Please note: I was a smoker, I love to smoke, so I am not judging. Rather you are just surrounded by it constantly. From the rooms next door, from below and above. Otherwise i enjoyed my time in Greece and at Sappho Hotel"

There were pots and pans and a dish rack. But not a real way to cook. There were no knives there was a cutting board but nowhere to store food. You cannot leave any food out as there are many ants if even a crumb is out. I give a four star review only because the food in the restaurant was adequate but nothing special compared to neighboring restaurants. That being said, I would return again next year."

"We had a lovely time at this hotel with the kids. The kids pool is perfect to let adults rest on the side but keep a close eye on them. Rooms are basic but clean. The lift needs an upgrade as it is like entering a prison and the wardrobes of Narnia at the same time! Great coffee's from the pool car."

"Beautiful property great accommodations, had a luxury sweet with sea view. Property is terraced with reception, pool and food available on the lower section of the property. Beautiful infinity pool with absolutely stunning views especially the sunsets. Close to Petra and is about a 25 min walk but if you’re not in great shape get a cab. Also very close to Molivos which has great dining, shopping and cultural/historical attractions. Great part of the island to explore. Staff was friendly room was spacious with a fridge, hot plate, toaster, coffee maker, TV and a washing machine which was great. Also a nice patio to dine or spend time relaxing and an additional balcony off the bedroom to watch the sunsets from. Hope to come back next year."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My stay at Aegeon Hotel was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The owner and every member of the staff were truly exceptional. Their kindness, warmth, and genuine hospitality touched my heart. In today’s world, it is incredibly rare to meet people with such beautiful hearts. I sincerely hope that one day they will have the opportunity to visit Canada or Türkiye, because I would be honored to welcome them into my home and show them the same kindness they showed me. The hotel was spotless, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. Every morning we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast made with fresh local products. The olives from Lesvos were simply incredible—without a doubt some of the most delicious I have ever tasted. The owner went above and beyond to help me whenever I needed anything, making me feel more like a family friend than a guest. If I had more time, I would have happily stayed much longer. As I was leaving, they surprised me with a beautiful gift. It was such a thoughtful gesture that I will treasure forever. I will never forget their generosity, their smiles, and the way they made me feel at home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our stay so special. We didn’t just leave with wonderful memories of Lesvos—we left with memories of truly wonderful people. I look forward to returning one day. With my deepest gratitude, Tamer Yuksel Canada"

Michaelia Hotel

8/10 Good
"As a solo traveller, I found Michaelia Hotel to be a good value-for-money choice. The hotel is quite old and the furniture and facilities are dated, but everything is clean and well maintained. The location is one of the main advantages of the hotel. It is within walking distance of beautiful beaches, as well as restaurants and bars, which is very convenient when travelling alone and without a car. One of the highlights is watching the beautiful sunsets from the balconies. A special thanks to Rodulla, who is incredibly friendly, kind, and always ready to help. Her warm hospitality made my stay much more enjoyable and comfortable. The breakfast is simple but adequate, with enough options to start the day. Overall, if you are a solo traveller looking for an affordable beachfront hotel in a convenient location and you don’t expect modern facilities, Michaelia Hotel is a reasonable choice."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Petra?

It's incredibly convenient for beach access and evening strolls.Couples often find this area ideal for a relaxing holiday.

The shallow waters are suitable for younger swimmers, and having restaurants and shops within easy reach means less hassle.
