Karidis Hotel

I don't speak Greek, but I know the word for perfect, it is Karidis, more specifically, the Karidis Hotel. Nestled in the foothills of Mount Vounos it embodies all the traditions of a family hotel. Xenia is the Greek spirit of hospitality and the Karidis Hotel welcomes you from the very second you walk through the door. They care, and you feel it, nothing is too small a problem. Behind every great Hotel there is a great organiser, and in this case her name is Viola, super talented and super dedicated in everything she does. The hotel is solidly built, you won’t be irritated by noisy neighbours! The WiFi is excellent at a measured 52 Mbps and the air conditioning never fails. The Karidis hotel is surrounded by restaurants and shops and is only a two minute walk to the beach. I didn't want to write this review because I always want a room here. But, the secret is out. The Karidis Hotel...is just perfect! A true Greek Hotel exuding hospitality and comfort. The 3 star Hotel that I award 4 stars! See if you can find this beautiful little chapel just a stone's throw from the hotel.

This is our second time to this hotel. Can’t fault it. Ideal base to Kamari less than 5 minutes to the main strip of the town. Supermarket over the road and plenty of restaurants and shops with in easy walking distance. Rooms have plenty of storage . Bathrooms have toiletries to use. Clean towels daily. Rooms cleaned everyday. Kettle fridge and mugs. Safe free to use as is air conditioning. We stayed both visits in room 13 love that you can sit and people watch as it was the end balcony. Pool lovely area new sun loungers. Breakfast is basic if you choose to eat lovely fruit and Greek yogurt. Staff all friendly every where clean and smelt fresh . Would definitely recommend and return

My daughter and I stayed for 5 nights in September, hotel is really handy, beach and plenty of restaurants couple minutes walk away, also we walked to open air cinema so would recommend that. Buses go regularly to Fira from bus stop right outside the hotel only €2. Reception staff really friendly and helpful and they left a lovely cake for my daughter’s birthday. Room was fine shower very small and curtain didn’t keep the water in the shower tray so floor flooded everytime we used it. Room tidied everyday, our room was over looking the pool so quiet although our balcony was very small not really enough room for 2 people to sit out together. Breakfast was basic but fine to get the day started. Glad we stayed in Kamara away from the bustle of Fira and Oia as they are very busy with 1000s of cruise ship visitors every day.
