This is our second time in this hotel, and we really like it here. Francesca and her lovely family are very sweet and helpful, and the staff takes great care of the rooms. While I do wish there was a breakfast option, I understand that it's difficult right now. But the bakery/restaurant nearby has great options, and if you are in an apartment, you can make your own breakfast. The beach is wonderful. Been to many Greek islands, but Alinda has the best, purest water. Absolute joy to be here.

Property info

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...
