Megisti Hotel  

This was a return trip for us to the hotel and the facilities, staff and location (of course) were as good as ever

Extremely well placed, rooms refurbished (but unfortunately not the public areas).. Private space with sunbeds for customers only.

Staff was very polite but a few number of persons for this hotel. Public areas need renovation.

This is a very funny location. The small town of Kastelorizo contains of nothing more than 300 locals and a string of a few hundred houses, hotels, pensions, restaurants, cafes, and shops, spread around the little horse shoe shaped harbor of the small island, just across the Turkish shoreline of Kas. The ferry lands on the one end of the harbor and the Megisti hotel is on the opposite end, but don't despair: the whole harbor is just a 500 meter walk. It's a typical Greek harbor style village, quiet, friendly, nice. And so is the Megisti hotel. In fact, it's the only 'normal' hotel, because most of the other "hotels" are accommodations like pensions or privately rent apartments or rooms. The hotel has decent facilities, reasonable rooms, and a kind staff. Nothing too fancy or special. We enjoyed the sun bed terrace and the swimming access to the harbor and sea, and wandered at least 20 times up and down the cosy boulevard. The island also serves very well as a stepping stone from or to Turkey (by ferry, 20 Euros) and Rhodos (by airplane, 30 Euros).

The town used to be much larger, decades ago (thousands of inhabitants and houses), but crisis, wars, and the very confined enclosure of the island made many unfortunate islander move to more promising and adventurous destinations. Why this story ? Because 90 percent of the tourists who visit this island, are these emigrants, together with their second or third generation off-spring, who regularly pay a short or longer visit to their 'roots'. The majority comes from Australia, but there are also many ties with Italy. So the hotels, pensions, streets, cafes, and restaurants are infested with repeatedly greeting, hugging, and kissing 'home-comers', who talk about the holidays they've spend across Europe, who they've met already, who they've missed, how they're doing, who got married, who died, etc. etc. And everyone feels as if they own the place or at least belong here with special privileges. It's funny at first, but gets a bit nauseating after a while. And as it is with all Greek hotels: power, water, or wifi is down at a regular basis. Don't complain, it's a tradition...

To say this is the location to die for is actually an understatement. The most beautiful location we have ever stayed in. Also food / alcohol bizarrely well priced given it's location

The best hotel on kastellorizo! Amazing staff and breathtaking view to the harbor !

Nothing! Everything was prefect!

Alle Zimmer haben Blick auf die Hafeneinfahrt und aufs Meer Richtung Osten. Man kann vom Balkon aus herrliche Sonnenaufgänge über der nahen türkischen Küste beobachten. Die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet (Mini-Kühlschrank). Das Bad mit Dusche ist modern. Ein Flach-TV empfängt das ZDF. Im ganzen Hotel kann man kostenloses WLAN nutzen. Das Frühstücksbuffet war erstklassig und ersetzte gleich das Mittagessen, wenn man kurz vor 10 kommt. Die Klimaanlage im Zimmer ist im Preis eingeschlossen. Es gibt keine Straßen und auch keine Lokale im Umkreis des Hotels, so dass nachts vollkommene Ruhe herrscht, allenfalls tuckert nachts mal ein Fischerboot vorbei. Von der Sonnenterrasse kann man über eine Leiter ins Meer steigen und gut schwimmen. Strände gibt es allerdings auf der Insel nicht

La posizione sulla baia di Kastellorizzo

Buon albergo in una location da favola

L'Hotel e' in una posizione invidiabile, con terrazza a mare e accesso privato.Trattandosi di kastellorizo isola sperduta della Grecia al confine con la Turchia ove si circola solo a piedi in un silenzio meraviglioso, il soggiorno al Megisti regala sensazioni uniche. In ogni caso il trattamento e' ottimo e adeguato.

Posizione ottimale, bellissimo terrazzo a mare e possibilita' di fare bagno prima di colazione.

Posto bellissimo, albergo confortevole e in posizione splendida, da non perdere!!

La posizione dell'albergo e' tale che permette di vivere la vacanza in totale relax ,con tutto a portata di mano : mare,bar ,restaurant, camera.lontano da rumore in una posizione splendida con un mare di cristallo.

Nessuno aspetto negativo ,ma un suggerimento : tenere il bar aperto fino alla mezzanotte e accettare American Express.Ci sarebbe ancora bisogno di garantire l'acqua in ogni momento della giornata con un flusso costante e sufficiente alla doccia.

die aussergewoehnliche Lage des Hotels sowie die Freundlichkeit des Hotelpersonals
