Best Hotels near Church Agios Fokas, Kalymnos Island

This year we stayed 6 nights (17th to 23rd of July 2022) in our home in Patmos for the 7th time in last 10 years. To be honest, I have to admit that how lucky We are. For me staying at Skala neighborhood (the center of the island) is the best way to experience Patmos. It's very convenient and at the same time very quiet at nights. Perfect restaurants, cafes, bars, boutiques, central bus stop, taxi station, markets and etc. This is where Rodon Hotel waiting for you, just 2-3 minutes from everything. I am probably writing same things about how clean is Rodon Hotel for the last 10 years, nothing changed. The cleaning of the hotel is beyond perfect and still the best. Hotel also offers fast wi-fi, safety box, air condition, fridge, tv, slippers etc. You will feel real hospitality here and I am sure that, Thomas (the owner) will do everything for you. Also, before going out for anything, restaurants, bars, boat trips, etc. etc. whatever you are looking for, ask Thomas them, you won't regret. Now we are looking forward to our next visit to this excellent hotel and beautiful island. No more pandemic please :)

Stayed at kouros palace for 7 nights and had a lovely holiday a first as just me and Megan. Food and drink- There are 2 bars located by each pool. The staff at each one couldn’t be happier to meet your needs and were very friendly, the pool bar located by the top pool has small treats such as pizza sandwiches ice cream etc. There is also a mini market located at the front of the hotel which sells a variety of things, the staff in there were lovely too. The food for the 3 meals through the day in the restaurant was a bit hit and miss. Meals ay breakfast and lunch were fine and filled you up for the day, however at night I felt the food wasn’t very local delicacy wise and was just very random, Actual quality of the food was fine though. The beach bar is a short walk and the food here was amazing. Fresh gyros were made there and they were absolutely superb! Hotel- the staff were amazing from the front desk to the main man Aaron who is the heart of the whole hotel. Whether he’s giving you a lift to the beach on his beloved golf cart or just driving around bellowing his hellos to everyone, he even in our case saw us waiting for a taxi in a local town of mastichari and gave us a lift back to the hotel. Aaron was brilliant from the minute we got there to the moment we left so kudos to him. The cleaners were absolutely fine I see on other reviews that people found them to be poor but our rooms were cleaned with beds made every other day which I found to be absolutely fine. They are more than happy to help if you need anything such as towels and soaps. The entertainment was okay. There was a live band and music at the night time and through the day a couple of staff members come round asking to do archery and water activities. Location- The hotel was the second stop on the transfer from the airport in our case. The hotel is a short taxi ride to the town of mastichari. A lovely town right on the beach with lots of great bars and restaurants and lots of space to have a day at the beach. We paid £30 for a bus trip to the main kos town which you can do between 7:45 and 8:30 at the main reception. The kos town is around 30 minutes away and was again like mastichari just on a larger scales and lots more to walk around and see. Overall I would definitely recommend kouros palace and me and my girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
