You may, however, be able to find Aribnb’s or Vrbo’s that have additional things like firepits, sports equipment, bikes and toys. Many hotel rooms have kitchenettes and some have washing facilities too.įurther to that sending the laundry out is often quite inexpensive ( compared to many countries) and you can even do it yourself by dropping a bag at the many local laundries found around the country that offer a wash and fold service, often same day. Hotels in Greece actually have some of the best amenities we’ve ever seen. I often hear people say they have to get an Airbnb so they have cooking facilities and washing machine. You may be asked to scan and print a form or even do a bank transfer which may make some people uncomfortable. Some small hotels are still very old school and do not even use secure on-line payment platforms. If you are after a completely romantic vacation or just peace and isolation then perhaps a secluded villa, cave, boat or something really unique is more your style.

If you factor in the cost of breakfast alone – for a family of 5 this could easily be 100Euro+ per day, plus the cost of some of the others things listed above – gyms, sunbeds, transfers etc… you may well end up paying more! 3.
It is true that many Airbnb’s are cheaper and seem to be better value in terms of space and amenities. Have a look at AP Acropolis View and Be My Guest in Athens, Armenaki and Aroma Cavas on Santorini, Porto Antico and Daphnis Villas on Crete and Zoumis Rooms on Paros. Many groups and families choose to book adjoining one and two-bedroom rooms or even an entire small hotel but if you want complete privacy and independence for your group then a hotel may not be for you. While many hotels do have 2 and even 3 bedroom rooms they probably can’t accommodate more than 8 people. These are the reasons most commonly cited as negatives for booking a hotel in Greece instead of a Vrbo or Airbnb: 1. We’ve had hotel owners drive us in their own cars when taxis cannot be found, store luggage for us for over a week while we left on a sailing trip, serve us their own family dinner when we bumped into old friends in the bar and let me use a more expensive room to shower and change 6 hours after I checked out! Just a few examples. The service is legendary across the globe and, along with the Balinese and Filipinos, we think the Greeks are the best-suited people for hospitality anywhere. When you stay in a hotel in Greece you will constantly see examples of Filotimo. There is also a virtue that all Greeks subscribe to called Filotimo, which loosely translates to ‘love of honour’ or for many people simply ‘doing the right thing’. When traders would come from far-away places locals would insist on them staying in the family home and showering them in home-cooked meals and delicacies. Hosting guests is a deeply ingrained behaviour in Greeks that goes back to ancient times.
When we refer to hotels in this article we are generally referring to them. While there are some big chain hotels in Greece, particularly on the busier islands like Rhodes, Corfu and Crete, most hotels in Greece are in fact small family-run establishments that have often been in the family for generations.
