Prophet Elias Monastery Tours and Activities

Socrates, the staff manager, is the highlight of this hotel. He offered us a complimentary room upgrade and took the time to provide us useful tour information and advice about visiting the islands. The hotel is very clean. The breakfast was good, but perhaps not quite a four star level breakfast. The hotel owners might consider dropping the advertisement of the rooms having balconies as they are tiny, useful mostly for hanging clothes to dry and with a view toward other buildings where others are likewise hanging their clothes to dry. Our travel mates stayed in another room and were equally impressed with Socrates; they had no interest in having a balcony with a view and so it did not bother them. Some reviewers said that the rooms are not sound proofed and that road noise makes it hard to sleep. We heard nothing and slept soundly. The airport shuttle service was reasonably priced and professional. We stayed on floor 3 and our travel mates were on floor 4.

Hidden Gem. Can’t wait to return to Athens we will definitely be booking here again.

Perfect location. Beautiful, spacious and elegant rooms. Loved the decor and the boutique atmosphere- very friendly, extremely attentive staff who go the extra mile for their guests. Breakfast was fresh and delicious with many options. Would definitely go back.
