Very authentic with a touch of modernity. The room was excellent—well located, offering a beautiful view, recently renovated, and exceptionally clean. The facilities were also excellent.

“I would not recommend this hotel.”
The toilet bowl in the bathroom of the room I had was badly fitted and leaked across the floor. The bathroom which had no ventilation smelled of sewer gas which entered the very small bedroom.

“Nice location and valuable for the price, but some improvements would be recommended.”
Location is superb and also the host was very handsome and helpful, pity he didn't inform me in advance that the keys are in the door and where exactly is the apartment entrance. Parking is available close by.

“Lefka Ori - nice rooms and perfect for the Loutro ferry”
Very lively restaurant run by Georgia's and his kind and friendly team....the breakfasts are just right too and bathed in sunshine and good humour. Many thanks to Georgia's and Marita for a lovely stay. We like SFAKIA and hope to be back soon. By the way good news.... there are parking vouchers available at the till enabling free parking in the car park iup from the beach restaurant area during your overnight stays at Lefka Ori...

“South coast delight.😎🇬🇷”
Excellent location. Comfortable bed. Ample breakfast. Quiet location just steps from the harbour front. The room though small was enough for our short stay. We had an issue with the plumbing which was immediately resolved and our reminder about the absence of an electric kettle was soon rectified. Overall good value for money.
