Lock in a great price for Neos Omalos Hotel – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

Staying at Neos Omalos is like staying with extended family. They make you feel welcome and are gracious to take care of everyone’s questions and needs. The food in their restaurant is very tasty and filling, again kind of like staying with family. The hotel reminded me of mountain lodges in the US. Not fancy, just comfortable. If you’re going to hike the Samaria Gorge this is a perfect place to stay. They provide shuttle service up to the top of the trail. We stayed 2 nights and took the ferry to Sougia after the hike and the bus from Sougia to Chsnis waits for the ferry and goes through with a stop at Neos Omalos. After a long day of hiking it’s nice to have someone else drive and come back to a warm shower and good supper.

The hotel is a perfect place to stay the night before hiking the Samaria Gorge. They will take you to the trailhead in the morning. Food was good and plentiful. They kept us informed on a possible closure of the National Park. It had rained for 2 days and the Park was closed the day before. They seem to handle large hiking groups on a regular basis.

Karen, United States of America

Great place to stay as a base for hiking the samarian gorge and gigilos. Yummy breakfast. Knowledgeable and helpful hosts.

Jason, United States of America

We wanted to hike the Samaria Gorge and this was the perfect place to spend the night before and after. The owners have been here for generations and provided background, transfer to the gorge and information about the return by ferry and public bus... All easy and smooth. The rooms are adequate and very clean; the restaurant serves good Cretan food and the atmosphere is friendly with hikers and outdoor adventurists all around.

Ellen, Morocco

A good place to sleep over before starting hiking down the Samaria Gorge. Very worthwhile dinner served for a modest price. Owner provides transfer to the entrance to the gorge with a minibus, which is a very good service. Cozy balcony with a spectacular mountain view. Very friendly and flexible staff.

This little hotel was friendly, clean, and in a great spot close to the Samaria trail. We were there both the night before the hike and after (because you get back pretty late), and the food was hearty and yummy (no fish up in the mountains mind you :). Very friendly staff. Breakfast was a simple continental but actually they even had fresh squeezed OJ. For an extra tiny fee they also packed us lunches for the hike.

A friendly, clean hotel in the heart of the White Mountains. A no fuss shuttle bus was available to Samaria Gorge a short drive away and despite being the end of the season there was still a good vibe with trekkers coming and going. The breakfast was plentiful and the evening dinner service was very good, we were very well looked after. We would thoroughly recommend a stay in this hotel.

Kate, United Kingdom

Very nice family business. Everybody was very helpful and friendly. Perfect location if you want to do Samaria Gorge. The room came with a nice vuew of the mountains. Nice coffee and decent food.

Kiky, Indonesia

Very clean and good service. Good restaurant with breakfast, lunch (also lunch bag to take on your hike) and dinner. very informative about Samaria gorge and a minibus from the hotel to Samaria gorge start provided at no cost.

Lack of options for food at night. Most food options offered at night were pre-cooked. I would advise travelers to drive to the seaside for dinner (e.g. Sougia)
Good hotel conveniently located next to the Samaria gorges that offers basic but clean room. Very friendly staff that will advise you during your stay. Great breakfast before the hike

Lovely staff: the owner let me check in extra early. I had booked a room for 2 people by mistake, and he helped me fix that so I wouldn't have to pay as much. The room was cozy and homey with a great view of the mountains. Loved the food at the taverna, and breakfast came with fresh-squeezed orange juice. They will drive you to the Samaria Gorge if you request it. Loved my stay!
