Thalassokipos is a hidden paradise and one of the most beautiful hotels we’ve ever stayed at. The location is magical, surrounded by olive gardens, fig and lime trees, grapevines, and even tomatoes growing right in the garden. It feels like a secret Mediterranean oasis. The entire property is lush and serene, with cozy hammocks, garden chairs, and peaceful nooks perfect for reading or just soaking in the beauty. For the first time ever, we didn’t even want to leave the hotel to dine out as nothing could beat the view from our own terrace. It was pure magic.
Our room was spotless and well-equipped with a kitchen and electric stove, which gave us the freedom to cook whenever we felt like it. Since the location is a bit remote (shops are about 10 minutes away by car), we recommend driving to a nearby supermarket Masoutis that offers amazing fresh fish and local delicacies. Bringing those back and enjoying a home-cooked meal on the balcony with that view was one of the highlights of our trip and honestly we didn’t want to leave the hotel to go to the restaurant as we knew we won’t have such views anywhere else.
From the moment we booked, the owners were helpful and responsive. I had some questions before arrival (including a payment issue), and they replied quickly via email with such kindness and support. It really set the tone for the entire stay. Their hospitality is genuine and heartfelt.
The nearby beach is a dream, with crystal-clear water, natural shade from olive trees, and often completely empty. No sunbeds, but honestly, you won’t miss them. It felt like our own private escape. We also took a boat trip around the lagoons in the region, only to realize we were already staying in one!
Breakfast was fine, nothing particularly special, but everything else more than made up for it. Parking was easy and convenient.
One tip: booking directly through the hotel’s website is cheaper than on Booking.com.
And one final note: while the atmosphere here is peaceful rather than lively, I highly recommend staying at least a few nights just to recharge before heading to more touristic or bustling destinations. It’s a soul-soothing place, one we didn’t want to leave for a single minute. It is a true gem and we’re already dreaming of coming back.
