Hotels near Fortress

"Excellent resort with a beautiful pool and beach front. "

"I spent nearly 40 years writing about travel, so I know a thing or two about hotels. Filanthi is a special place in every way. Yes, the sea is right outside and there’s a great restaurant below, but it’s far more than that. This building has been in the same family for many generations (see story in photo) and is now run by a young woman named Eugenia, who has done a flawless job of preserving the charm of her great-grandfather’s home while blending it with artistic, modern touches, for example, the way the beautiful bathroom tiles conjure hillsides of olive, citrus, and sage. She has also introduced comfort elements not typical of Greek hotels. The bed was exceptionally comfortable—nothing like the traditional board-like fare—and the shower was the best I experienced in four weeks of traveling through the Peloponnese. Every detail is unique and thoughtfully chosen; she should be proud of the years of work that went into creating such a space. There was a complimentary bottle of local wine in the room that I didn’t try, and though I never ordered one, my sea-view double came with a balcony cat who was charming and excellent company. My only suggestion: I hope she soon drops “The Project” from the name. In my experience, the hotel is already complete—elegant, well-finished, and deeply memorable."

"We can’t thank the owners enough. Panagiotis and his beautiful wife were lovely and went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The room was immaculate and beautifully appointed, blending modern luxury with cozy comfort. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the linens crisp and clean, and the view from our window and balcony was simply stunning. Housekeeping was prompt, discreet, and consistent throughout our stay. What truly set this hotel apart was the level of service. They remembered our name, our preferences, and were always one step ahead with thoughtful suggestions and assistance. The hotel’s amenities were top-notch serene, spotless, and offered us a place to unwind. Breakfast in the mornings was impressive, with plenty of local farm to table options and exceptional organic quality. Our taste buds we in heaven daily. Location-wise, the hotel couldn’t be better situated — close enough to the town of Finikounda, restaurants and several beaches but tucked away just enough to feel peaceful and exclusive. In every aspect, this stay exceeded our expectations and can’t recommend this hotel highly enough. We’ll absolutely be returning — it’s rare to find a place that gets everything right. If you are looking for a place to stay in the Finikounda area, this is it. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!"

"Karalis Beach Hotel was fantastic. We loved our stay. The rooms are spacious and have amazing views (I assume all of them are on the water side). The breakfast is worth it alone. So much to choose from and eggs cooked how you would like. Delicious. The parking is super easy. At the end of the road so lots of free, street parking. A two minute walk into the town but a quiet oasis. We highly recommend."

"Wonderful! "

"Property is excellent. It’s a bit of a trek if you take a car from Athens. I recommend taking a helicopter as it lands right at the property basically. Surrounding area is beautiful , great golf as well. "

"Beautiful hilltop hotel. Off the beaten path with a great view of the town below. Pool was nice and had a bar to get drinks and snacks at. Senior suite had two bedrooms, living room, small dining area and small kitchen area. Town was a quick drive down the hill or a 15 minute walk. Town offered many options for dinner and shopping. Dinner at Elena Taverna was amazing. Highly recommend it. Buffet breakfast was very good. Many different breakfast foods to chose from. You won’t go hungry!"

"Excellent beach with humongous "L" shaped pool. Great menu services. Met George and Niko the owners, very hospitable and caring people. I give them credit with what they have built and acchomplished."
