Hotel in zona Homa Handmade Crafts, Potos

I cannot give this hotel enough positives, it was absolutely fabulous. The staff are second to none. Everyone from the restaurant team to bar staff to housekeeping couldn't do enough, but special mention must go to Sophia who helps in any way she can should a query or problem arise. Thank you. The hotel is part of a sister hotel - the Alexandra Beach, which you can use the facilities of, but believe me, there is no reason why you would want to. We were on AI basis, which is more than adequate. There is only one restaurant at AE, but they offer 2 A la carte choices each night - one meat, one fish, which were lovely. If they're not to your liking there is a buffet choice but much more civilised than other buffet restaurants - no children running around or people pushing or not looking where they're going! It is on a smaller scale but the choices are fine. The desserts in particular were delicious. My only teeny, tiny grumble is that the food could have been hotter. Drinks wise, not everything is included but there are plenty on the included list and all spirits are branded - no local Greek substitutes. If you choose to pay a little extra for those not included the prices are reasonable for a hotel - €10.50 for the most expensive cocktails. We booked a private pool, which is well worth the extra. All pools seem to be in sunlight from morning till dusk and are cleaned daily. If you decide not to plunge for a private pool, the main pool is beautifully laid out with sunbeds on terracing, seating areas, pool bar with waitress service if needed. We were in room 7009, which was perfect, as all the rooms seem to be. Cleaned daily, fresh towels twice a day and the mini bar, which comes as part of the AI package, includes miniature spirits and soft drinks and is refreshed every 3 days. Quite a nice surprise as a lot of AI packages don't include the mini bar and if they do, it is only for soft drinks and water. The bathroom toiletries are Molton Brown - shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, you name it, all Molton Brown. Even the shower cap!! The hotel is situated just outside Potos which is well within walking distance - takes about 10-15 minutes. Okay to visit for a change of scenery but nothing special. We went there to watch football in one of the bars a couple of times. A nicer place to walk to is the village on the other side - Limenaria, which happens to be Sophia's home town. This is about a 50 minute walk on a path which runs parallel to the main road, so much safer. Limenaria is much more picturesque with a better choice of restaurants and bars. We went on one trip - a boat sailing around the island and the usual - swim stops, beach stops, lunch. We booked this in Potos at the quay side. Really cheap - €30 pp and it was fine. Again, something to do for a change but nothing to write home about. We booked through TUI. Flights were on time, transfer good. As the plane flies to Kavala on the mainland there is a short coach journey (15 minutes) to t

A for Art is right in the heart of Limenas, the main city of Thasos. This makes it a great choice for exploring the island while enjoying the city as well. The hotel is in a preserved building allowing minimal interventions and while facilities are quite good, rooms could be refreshed a little bit. We have not tried the hotel's awarded restaurant for dinner as although it looked extremely promising we preferred more traditional tastes from around the island, yet the breakfast is excellent and so is the bar at nights where we have particularly enjoyed the two live music events during our stay. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, always willing to accommodate any request of ours. Hint: make sure you book a parking with the hotel (we did) as without it, you will suffer.

Non mi piace la stanza, non mi piaceva la stanza senza balcone, non mi sembrava chiaro, non mi sembrava che fosse stata tradita... ho chiesto un cambio di stanza... 80 euro per notte... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . Non avremmo mai pensato che non ci fosse balcone. Non avremmo mai pensato che non ci fosse balcone... non ci sarebbe stato un balcone... e non ci sarebbe stato un balcone... e non ci sarebbe stato un balcone... e non ci sarebbe stato un balcone... e non ci sarebbe stato un'apertura completa... e una camera senza aria... e una camera super superiore... e' la prima volta che sono stato incastrato... Sono malata, mi sono attaccato al naso e mi sono respirato, sono uscito la notte per respirare.Il buon colazione dell'hotel e' un bel viaggio con la spiaggia.

The hotel has a good location near the port of the city of Kavala. The standard rooms are narrow, the bathrooms are also and the terrace is with a view of the neighboring building. Every day they stock soaps and shower gels. Snacks are quite poor as an assortment, there is a queue at the cafe machine and quite a large number of unprepared tables, it is almost impossible to find a clean table to sit down and eat.
