Do you remember the episode of Anthony Bourdain when he went to Leros and stayed in a family-run beachfront hotel? Me neither, because it never happened. But if it did, I’m sure it would have been at Hotel Alinda.
You know the episodes that end with him celebrating with locals, raising a glass as live music plays into the night. Before that he would have shown the genuine Greek dishes—fresh, simple, and soulful. He would have smiled at the hard work and big laughs of the family and friends who run the place.
That’s Hotel Alinda. You wake up to a view of the water, eat breakfast with homemade touches, and watch the two young gentlemen serving playfully tease each other about who’s really working harder. It’s the kind of hospitality Tony loved to celebrate—and made viewers wish we were there with him.
My experience at the Hotel Alinda was nothing short of amazing.
