ΣΕ ΙΔΑΝΙΚΗ ΤΟΠΟΘΕΣΙΑ, ΜΕ ΚΑΠΟΙΑ ΑΝΑΚΑΙΝΙΣΗ ΘΑ ΗΤΑΝ ΑΡΙΣΤΑ

2025-02-19

Το ξενοδοχείο είναι κοντά σχετικά στο Λιμάνι (15' με τα πόδια) σε πολύ ωραίο και ήσυχο μέρος με πολύ ωραία θέα. Μείναμε 6 βράδυα σε ευρύχωρα διαμερίσματα εκτός του ξενοδοχείου. Θετικά: Ανεση για οικογένειες, τεράστια βεράντα με ξαπλώστρες, πολύ ωραία θέα, σχετικά κοντά η παραλία (εύκολο κατέβασμα, δύσκολο ανέβασμα) Αρνητικά: Τα συγκεκριμμένα δωμάτια αποτελούν μέρος σπιτιού, είναι παλιά, όπως και τα έπιπλα, οπότε χρειάζονται ανακαίνιση. Επίσης υπάρχουν μερικές δεκάδες σκαλοπάτια είτε προς τα κάτω (παραλία), είτε προς τα πάνω (κεντρικός δρόμος, κυρίως ξενοδοχείο), που δυσκολεύουν την πρόσβαση στους ...μη νέους. Κατά τα άλλα ο ιδιοκτήτης και το προσωπικό πολύ ευγενικοί και εξυπηρετικοί.

Relaxing Holiday at the Gorgona Hotel

2025-06-18

If you are looking for a relaxing time on the beautiful island of Alonissos then the Gorgona Hotel could be for you. The Gorgona is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the port of Patitiri, where the ferries arrive and depart. It is up a hill but that was no problem for us, even though I am in my seventies, sometimes doing this walk a couple of times a day. The Gorgona is located on a hillside overlooking a beautiful bay and the small beach of Rousoum Gialos. The best views are from the rooms on the top floor, and the lovely owner Dimitros, happily accommodated our request for one of these rooms. The rooms are typical Greek basic, of moderate size, but with all the cooking essentials you need. The bathroom was compact with a shower (no shower tray), plenty of hot water and a bathroom cabinet. The bed was large and very comfortable with both the air-conditioning and safe supplied at no extra cost. The balcony was small but had an amazing view over the bay where local fishing boats would tie up. The balcony got sunshine until about 2 pm and there was a retractable awning if it got too hot. The room was cleaned whenever you wanted (just leave a sign on the door when you go out) and fresh towels were given at the same time. The room and hotel are very clean and Dimitros and his small family/team were so helpful and kind with lots of information. There are a lot of steps from the Gorgona directly down to Rousoum Gialos beach (about 120) but again we did not find this a problem. The beach is small and is a mix of sand/stones and would recommend beach shoes if going in the sea. There are plenty of sun beds for hire at 15 euros (2 comfortable beds and a parasol), but there are in regimented rows. We preferred to sit on our own beach chairs as did many locals. The beach was very quiet in May and the locals told us it only gets really busy in August when Greek holidaymakers come from the mainland. Even in May I was able to swim in the sea although the water was a little chilly. There are two taverna's, a coffee bar and a small supermarket on the promenade directly behind the beach. These were not open in May during our visit but the owners were working on them ready to open the first week of June. The port of Patitri is great for bars and restaurants where you can enjoy a meal looking out at the boats in the harbour. There are two bakeries and a supermarket within a 5 minute walk away from the Gorgona, which were perfect for our needs. There were no buses running in May so we hired a car to see the rest of this small island which was very pretty with a number of lovely mostly stone/pebble beaches. There is one sandy beach on the island also which was very nice. In summer boats run from Patitri to many of these beaches where you can spend the day and then get the boat back late afternoon at a reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit is the old hill town just outside of Patitri as it is beautiful and has lovely views. We walked up the old donkey trail, which took us about 40 minutes, and got a taxi back for 10 euros. I suggest you do it the other way round as it was quite a trek going up! Alonissos is still pretty much a traditional Greek island with lots of local people living around the area and going to the beach. The local school is just around the corner from the Gorgona as are the fire and police stations. The ferries run from the mainland, via Skiathos and Skopelos, a few times a day so it is easy to get to Alonissos, with the journey from Skiathos Town taking just under 2 hours. The ferries are geared up for taking luggage and you just put your cases in racks as you board and pick them up as you depart. This means you can relax on the ferry and enjoy a drink and take in the view on deck. We preferred the larger ferry as it was much more comfortable than the fast ferries and a good way to start your holiday. We really enjoyed our stay in Alonissos and will definitely return to the Gorgona Hotel again.

an excellent place to stay
