“An Amazing Stay in a Classic Hotel”

Surrounded by a forest this beautiful hotel has a Classic style and gives you the impression that you are at home. The owners were really friendly. Mr. Iacovos looks after the hotel, and his son Agi is the owner of the Village tavern.
Centrally located in the heart of Platres, a superb family run hotel that you want to go there again and again.

There are different rooms small and much bigger, and even if I was given a small one it was cozy and comfortable and clean -besides most of the time I was out walking. Platres is not a place to sit in but be out in nature, walk next to the waterfall and listen to the gurgling of water and the singing of birds.

I noticed that there was not a coffee teapot in the room and I asked for one and I was immediately given. I was also given a clay pot with some cold fresh water to have next to my bed for the night because there is not an ice box in the room. There was an extra electric heater brought to my room because Iacovos told me that after 10:00pm the main central heating is off. That was very kind of him and it was not a problem at all.

The hotel's main areas are nicely furnished and decorated. There was no buffet in the morning but you are asked what exactly you wish to have for breakfast and you are brought the moment you get in the dining room. I find this very clever because everything is fresh and prepared the moment you want it.

My balcony was overlooking the wood and the high pine trees. I could sit for hours out there just looking at the trees and listening to the birds. My stay was really short but I will arrange and spend more days on a next visit.
I highly recommend it, and I left with the best impressions and all positive thoughts.

The Kalidonia Waterfall in Platres

Walking towards the Kalidonia waterfall.

What a joy to be up here and walking this path! I am excited even if I got lost a bit. There was another couple following me and when we got further into the forest we approached each other and together tried to find our way. Two or three times I called Agi who was trying to spot where exactly we …

Today we spent the whole day at sea. We started the day with a nice breakfast. The weather was good, sunny and just enough wind to sail.

First we had the chance to visit the bridge. (Actually, you are always allowed to visit the bridge, except during manouveurs, but this morning it was with informations from the 1st officer.) The 1st officer explained to us the various equipments they use. Some are original pieces ...
