Elpida Hotel and Apartments (Alikanas, Greece)

The cupboards are full of everything you might need during your stay, from cooking utensils to pots and pans and cutlery. This is great if you want to stay in for a meal or cook yourself breakfast.

Elpida is the perfect distance away from the town, so you don’t get all the noise and street traffic that go along with it. Yet, you’re close enough to be able to walk to all the different restaurants and bars.

The hotel provides an excellent English breakfast each morning, which is cooked to order based on your preferences. There’s also a snack bar that has snacks and food.

If your room is facing the pool side, you might find yourself dealing with more noise than usual. If you prefer quiet, you may want to ask for a room in the back of the complex for less activity.

The area the hotel is located in seems to bring in a lot of mosquitoes. While this is an annoyance while you’re outside, they also manage to find their way into the hotel and rooms.

If you want to use air conditioning in your room, you’re able to – however, you will have to pay extra to have it turned on.
