Aphrodite Hotel

The hotel grounds and pool are great with plenty of space and sunbeds. The beach is a pebble one and not very big but adequate. Beach shoes a must. The hotels Taverna is between the pool and beach and serves really good food and drink at reasonable prices. I think this is why they dont run a shuttle bus ..so guests stay on site. Its a 5 min taxi drive into Molivos and costs £7 euros. The breakfast was one of the best ever with loads of good choice (only thing missing was a decent sausage ). We booked with Jet2 and were in the original hotel block, not the annex. This was not as nice as the newer part and is in need of refurbishment.It appeared European guests were placed there. Molivos is really nice and we went to eat here 6 or 7 times. Best meals..The Sea Horse, Tropicana, Gatos , and Misirlou the burger place just before the harbour..Best burgers ever. Try Friends for lunch, all the locals go here for gyros etc. Also the womens co operative in Petra was fabulous. We hired a car for 2 days and saw some of the island which was nice. Its easy to see why this hotel and Molivos have so many returning guests .Some coming year after year. Everything went as planned so well done Jet 2 as usual. We will be back.

Location-we picked the town because of the harbour & hotel knowing it was a 30 minute walk based on the better facilities it offered and these were as advertised. Pool well appointed, pretty with very comfortable loungers and we were expecting the rocky not particularly pretty beach. The walk into town was disappointing not because it was a 30 minute incline, but beause it wasn’t that scenic and the walk back at night was a hazard even wearing white / with torch due to numerous bends / lack of foot path. Whilst not an issue for us as we had car and taxi was 7 euros each way we do like to walk in an evening. Accommodation- we booked superior and this was clean and comfortable but most views are car park or rough ground. After a week we down grounded to a standard in order to get a sea side view. Initially we thought we were better off. After 1 nights sleep noticed sound proofing very different, bed uncomfortable, bad drain smell room very dark (furnishings dark but made worse by light bulb not working and no replacement despite asking). Also Tv not as large and unable to access same channels as previous rooms. Good - breakfast fairly good for Greek hotel breakfast but they need more toasters.lunch time snacks tasty. Evening meal we only tried once as food poor and service slow (not enough staff / influx of new guests) Staff - reception staff very friendly and helpful as were cleaners and catering staff ( breakfast). Bar staff helpful but perhaps a little short staffed to be able to chat as much Cleanliness - super clean but drain smell in rooms but understand in Greece this can be an issue Lesvos - quiet. Easy to drive around. Friendly people. However will not be retuning as not the prettiest of the Greek islands Highlights - Skala Skalymanis, petrified forest, monesty next to it and Molivos itself

Uma localização excepcional associada à excelente equipa permitiram-nos gozar de umas férias relaxadas e sem falhas, a ementa do restaurante visita os clássicos da culinária grega e o peixe fresco é de óptima qualidade. Uma experiência a repetir no futuro.
