Porto Potha Hotel

The Porto Potha is the only hotel on Telendos and built on the hillside above a narrow sand-shingle beach. It is a five minute walk above the sea to Telendos' quite charming waterfront.

The hotel enjoys a very peaceful location and marvelous views across the strait to Kalymnos. However we must stress that the Porto Potha is old fashioned with no frills and would therefore hold most appeal for lovers of old school Greek holidays

The hotel has 20 rooms, a mix of hotel rooms on the first floor of the original building and studios in a separate building to the side. Most are twin bedded and all possess air conditioning, shower room, fridge and balcony - all ours with wonderful views over the strait to Kalymnos.

Also first floor are two-room corner suites which comprise a double bedroom, a separate living room with two sofa beds, shower room and two or three balconies.

The studios next door have the same amenities and views as the standard rooms with the addition of basic cooking facilities (2 rings).

Standard rooms and suites are sold on a bed and breakfast basis, studios on a room only basis as they have light kitchen facilitities (breakfast can be purchased locally if desired).

Furnishings throughout are simple and traditional.

The main building has a ground floor lounge and breakfast room, although this is usually taken on the outside terrace in summer months. WiFi access is available here.

Steps lead down to the large sea water swimming pool below (with somewhat scruffy surrounds) and then continue on down to the beach and seaside path. Other beaches may be found a 15 minute walk over the headland.

The elderly owners could not be more welcoming but have not moved with the times, so do not expect slick service, manicured gardens or modern accommodation. What you will find here is simple accommodation, traditional Greek hospitality, a great location and memorable views
