The scenic city of Kalabaka is full of attractions, such as Meteora and Delphi & Thermopilae Day Trip, and is loved for its temples and mountain views.
Imagine strolling along Port of Skopelos for some great waterfront pics. It's located 0.8 mi (1.3 km) from central Skopelos Town. If you carry on walking you'll get to Agios Konstantinos Beach for some more water views.
"Staff very helpful. Hotel is spread over a large roughly 200 acre site. So for most seniors or those with young families use of the hotel's reliable free golf buggy transport is essential particularly in very hot weather to get around the site."
"Clean and quiet room. I really enjoyed my stay here and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Driver Capitano Aaron was very hospitable and always free to drive me round the compound. Staff were also helpful arranging taxis and airport transfers.
Thanks so much"
"Minno hotel is a lovely experience from the moment you arrive. All the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. The pool area is so calm and relaxing, it’s hard to tear yourself away to visit the rest of the island! The food is out of this world .. credit to the chef. Highly recommend on every level."
"A lovely clean hotel decorated in a slightly older more traditional style. Almost like a film set from 1920’s. Art deco, dark wood, vintage desk with ‘marble’ vintage telephone and typewriter in communal sitting area. Outside door shutters made the room dark for sleeping although the fuse box and other LED’s light up the room rather. Storage space, drawers and wardrobe was great and for a change there were several bathroom hooks and towel rails for hanging clothes, wash bags and towels, a feature I find is often lacking in lots of hotel bathrooms. Shower cubicle very small though.
Breakfast products were interesting and varied from day to day, larger tea and coffee cups would have been better IMO, I’m rather partial to large cups or mugs of tea and coffee needing to rehydrate in the morning especially. A cute bar next to the pool serving drinks, including cocktails. Enough sunbeds available when we were there. The pool was delicious for leisurely swims and a small seat area in the pool where you could sit in the pool and maybe read while enjoying the coolness of the water. The main town centre was a short easy walk along the bay approx 15mins where you can catch a bus, taxi to other parts of the island and pleasure and public boats to other islands here too. 4star rating given as a comparison to the previous hotel we were at which had a far wider selection of breakfast items and individual barista style coffees available which Aeolos didn’t. A very enjoyable stay nonetheless."
"We very much enjoyed our stay at the Divani Meteora while we were in the area exploring the famous monasteries and convents of Meteora.
The hotel is very clean and the staff are exceptionally kind and welcoming. We traveled with our 8 year old daughter and they even gave her a welcome gift of drawing pencils and a coloring book which I thought was an unexpected and very thoughtful touch.
The Divani is walking distance to the center of Kalabaka town where we ate several meals during our stay in the area. We made use of the gym and indoor pool which was a nice treat for my daughter. (It was a little chilly and windy to use the beautiful outdoor pool). There is ample parking if you are on a driving trip as we were. And the included breakfast spread kept us going on several long days of exploring.
I highly recommend the Divani to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable stay in the Meteora area"
"This was an amazing stay! The breakfast was the best part of the experience—fresh, delicious, and with so many options. I have traveled extensively in the United States, and I have never had a hotel breakfast that compares to this one."
"Staff were pleasant and helpful.
Breakfast was excellent.
Lobb, breakfast area were clean and 5 stars.
Rooms in main building on 3rd floor were not 5 star, closer to 3 star..
Carpet outside lift is functional but dated and water stained.
Rooms dated need upgrades including painting and redecorating."
"Martha the owner is amazing - nothing is too much trouble. She offers transport too and from the airport, welcomes you with a complimentary glass of wine on her roof terrace which has fabulous views over Skiathos town. Works very hard to make your stay comfortable. Happily mskes you a hot drink. Bedrooms very clean."
"The location of this particular hotel is perfect. The gentleman who owns it has been extremely helpful and very nice. There was a few problems to begin with, but he fixed everything. The room is nice and big. It is very noisy however so keep that in mind."
