Location very close to the best beach of the island Parking nearby Family and kids friendly Helpful and cheerful hosts and staff Room thoroughly and regularly cleaned Plenty of options for food nearby

Αλικη Greece

The sea view was amazing and probably the best at the property. The shower was modern and built into the room. The bed was fairly comfy and bedding / towels changed every other day. Plenty of pillows too so no need to ask for extras. Provision of shower gel / shampoo mini bottles and hand soap were also a bonus had I not brought my own. Similar with slippers which wouldn't always be expected in a similar category of property. Location to the beach and tavernas was excellent. The property arranged a taxi (paid for) to and from Lakki port and they were there to greet me even though it was late when I arrived due to a slight ferry delay. Just asked if you want a taxi, it's €18 each way (Aug-22). It is unlikely the local bus service will be an option for many of the ferry arrivals.

Francesca was very friendly and happy to help us with our short staying.

Gloria Ireland

The place was close to everything. The room was great with comfortable bed, air conditioning and spacious bathroom. The staff were fantastic. Very friendly and accommodating in every way.

Lea Australia

Really well located and well managed by a lovely family

Stephen Australia

The location was perfect across from the beach. Access to food and supermarket. 3.7kms away from Αγία μαρίνα where the action was. The owner was lovely and gave us fresh eggs,tomatoes and cucumbers from the garden. No washing machine in the room but they do your washing and charge you. Best you do washing elsewhere. Rooms are great for family of 5. Well priced

Vikkie Australia

Very friendly and helpful staff who gave us a choice of rooms...very clean comfy beds. Good sized bathroom. Good location just a minute from the beach...about a 30 - 40 minute walk to the port.

Mandy United Kingdom

Alexandra United Kingdom

Lovely hotel that is well maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful.

David Spain

Property information

The story of ApartHotel Papafotis, which opened in 1989, is a tale of continual innovation, expansion and a single-minded dedication to the highest of standards. The name “Papafotis” is taken from our owning and operating family — the Papafotis. Over the years, ApartHotel Papafotis continues to be 100% family owned and operated. This is very different than those big franchise-based hotel chains where you have one group that owns the hotel, another that manages it, and still another that owns the name on the building. That just doesn't work for us. How can you keep all that straight! You see, we like to keep things simple. We created the ApartHotel Papafotis for savvy travellers like you. People who want to seek and explore without spending it all. With over 3 decades of experience we will make you feel at home...
