Big price cuts at hotels and holiday apartments

The prices and deals that are available on these websites fluctuate daily depending on demand, much like the stock market. The deals normally concern specific dates, both off and during peak season, and depend on the class of the accommodation. The best deals available at the moment are to be found the Ionian island of Zakynthos, where one pension is offering a studio apartment at a charge of 10 euros per night, on Samos in the northeastern Aegean, where similar accommodation goes for 11 euros, and small apartments going for 11 euros a night on Rhodes and 12.50 euros on Kos. In Halkidiki, northern Greece, prices that begin at 228 euros for the four-day period are made more attractive by the fact that many of the hotels making offers also have free Wi-Fi and swimming pools. On Kos, prices start at 210 euros, on Skiathos at 188, in Pilio at around 200 euros and on Santorini, a notoriously expensive destination, prices start at 269 euros for rooms and are even lower for studio apartments. A campaign to attract foreign visitors to Greece with special offers through travel agents and operators in combination with the social uprisings in North Africa have been key to boosting Greece’s tourism industry this year. Indicatively, arrivals at the country’s airports from overseas have increased by 9.5 percent over the past six months compared to the same period last year. However, scenes of violence broadcast worldwide from central Athens last month are believed to have put a significant dent in reservations, especially in the Greek capital. Recent strike action by taxi drivers, which has included blockades of airports and ports around Greece, has also contributed to dampening foreigners’ interest in coming to Greece for their holidays.

Amathus Beach Hotel, Rhodes, Greece - Blogger

A warm breeze gently blows across the rooftop terrace of the Amathus Beach Hotel in Ixia, on the northwest coast of Rhodes. It’s a welcome respite from the poker-hot sunshine that beats down onto the island for an average 300 days a year and the reason why so many visitors choose this particular corner of the popular Greek island for their annual summer holiday. Do not visit the Amathus expecting the long expanse of sandy white beach that the name may evoke. The only beach area, a mixture of sand and pebbles, is across the road; a small narrow strip furnished with loungers. The sound of cars and bikes buzzing past provides the soundtrack to a coastline that’s paradise for windsurfers. Tranquil beach lovers would be better off hiring a car and travelling to one of the island’s many beautiful sandy beaches, some like Kalithea, only minutes away. No expense has been spared on the Elite Suites and that’s what makes them rather special. A marble-floored living area is opulently furnished with a bed you could very easily loose your partner in, and a palatial bathroom features full-size bath, walk-in shower and double sink unit that’s replenished daily with a sumptuous array of Bulgari products (even a matching mint-green toothbrush). There’s the to-be-expected bowl of fresh fruit, daily newspaper and well-stocked mini bar but in addition, all guests to the Elite Suites receive a different local ‘treat’ delivered to their room each day, ranging from a plate of decadently delicious baklava to a mini bottle of traditional Greek tipple, Ouzo, to sip by the pool at sunset, accompanied by little jars of crunchy walnuts drenched in gooey Greek honey. Service at the Varkarola could be slow - even by relaxed Greek island standards - when the restaurant didn’t seem particularly busy. When our bottle of rosé did arrive, it could have been a bit colder, and the à la carte calamari, though beautifully presented, couldn’t compete with the lightly battered tentacles that literally leapt from the sea to our plates at Melthemi – a delightful local taverna, a short 7km (4-mile) taxi drive away in Rhodes harbour. The spa itself is beautifully designed. In particular areas, flooring has been painstakingly crafted from hundreds of pebbles, each perfectly placed to create traditional Greek designs.
