Hotel Pelops

Description:

• If you've heard how helpful Aussie expat Susanna Spiliopoulou and her Greek husband Theo are, believe every word! Susanna and her family make this one of the most welcoming hotels in Greece. Rooms are good-size, cheerful, and very comfy, unlike all too many Greek hotels. Check out their website to learn about their 3- and 4-day cooking, writing, and painting classes, usually offered off season. An added bonus: Guests here can use the dishy pool at the Europa Hotel and order up a Pelops Platter (a wide variety of Greek mezedes) for dinner back at the Pelops. But the real bonus here is leaving the all-too-often anonymous world of hotels and entering a welcoming haven, in the center of town, but on a blissfully quiet street.
