De l’air frais bienvenue au cœur de l’été
Pros:

La situation de l’hôtel et son côté familial. C’est un refuge de montagne (et l’air y est frais même en été.) La gentillesse du personnel.

Cons:

Peut-être un peu d’humidité dans les chambres.

Fresco riposo in montagna preludio a Samaria's Gorges.
Pros:

La struttura è un po' datata ma l'accoglienza e la posizione a circa 1200 metri slm rendono il soggiorno estremamente gradevole e "rinfrescante" rispetto alle temperature della costa. Ricorda molto un nostro rifugio montano e le foto storiche alle pareti sono estremamente caratteristiche. Ottimo punto di partenza o arrivo per l'esplorazione della Samaria's Gorges. Buona la colazione casalinga. Previsto anche servizio gratuito di navetta per l'ingresso delle Samaria's Gorges.

Cons:

Forse solo il televisore...ma a chi importa?

Exquisite rustic charm and elegance.
Pros:

Neo Omalos is an absolute gem of a place. It blended rustic elegance and refined simplicity, to create a comfortable old-world vibe and character with modern touches and amenities incorporated. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious (the locally sourced vegetable soup I had at dinner was "grandmother" comfort food and a culinary gateway to nostalgia). Staff was great, and the owner/host provided a free lift to the Samaria Gorge entrance in the morning.

Pros:

Struttura storica, semplice ma decorosa, punto di partenza comodissimo per chi vuole percorrere le Gole di Samaria o trascorrere qualche giorno al cospetto delle Montagne Bianche, sull'altopiano di Omalos. Cucina familiare, genuina. Prodotti freschi e di qualità. Spettacolare. La migliore Moussakà assaggiata a Creta! Servizio navetta gratuito per le Gole.
