We had a lovely stay at Keramos Hotel in Zaros. The studio was simply furnished but had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were kind and discreet, always welcoming. A special mention for the local breakfast, which was hearty and delicious—a perfect way to start the day. The location is ideal for hiking in the surrounding area. We highly recommend this place!

Un accueil enthousiaste - un excellent petit déjeuner local - une communication et des attentions chaleureuses - un calme olympien pour dormir - une très belle vue sur la vallée
The warmest welcome from Velina, Michalis & family
Velina & Michalis make you feel like home from the very first seconds you get at Keramos.
Breakfast is a real treat & dinner at Vegera (the family's restaurant) is delicious traditional Cretan cuisine.
Their family are the most welcoming and lovely people I've met in Greece in 15 years.
Simple room but a very gracious owner. We don't speak Greek and she didn't speak English but she prepared a lovely dinner for us. We felt like we had become part of her family.
N hesiter pas à y séjourner. Vous etes soignés comme un coq en pâte.
Chambre spacieuse, petit déjeuner fait maison sous vos yeux.
Une bonne , excellente adresse à ne donner qu'aux vrais amis.
Gemytligt och trevligt hotell mitt i centrala Zaros. Bra utgångsläge även för utflykter i trakten. Mycket bra frukost och bekväma rum med inredning i gammal och traditionel kretansk stil. Rekomenderas och jag återkommer gärna.

Great plaace to stay
Lovely mountain village. Our welcome was great and we were offered tea or coffee as we arrived. The room was a bit tired and unfortunately the bedding smelt a bit of cigarette smoke. The bathroom was a bit basic and the drain cover in the shower was not fitting properly.
The traditional Cretan breakfast was superb and very different to any I have had before - everything was home made and was absolutely delicious!
Wifi was good and fast - I work 'on the move' so i did need it.
Booked for 3 nights. However checked out in 2 days since it’s very inconvenient. It’s literally in the middle of nowhere. I had to book another hotel at last minute for the other day.
The hosts gave us a lovely welcome. We had a balcony to the back if the property, with an open view to the west and Psiloritis.
The breakfast is s amazing as they make advertise it :) Hopefully you have a sweet and a cheese tooth!
The only downpoint: The room doors to the stairway aren't really sound proof. Whenever the first guys go for breakfast in the morning - you will know it.
Very friendly and good welcome. Breakfasts amazing......if you like pastries etc. Coffee and showers not brilliant but overall we much enjoyed our visit and the location was perfect for us.
Nonostante siamo arrivati molto tardi. Ci ha accolti una simpaticissima vecchietta che pur parlando solo greco non ha avuto problemi a farsi capire. Stanza grande e spaziosa. La colazione era fantastica e talmente abbondante che ci hanno datto un sacchettino da portare via. Personale cortese e gentile.
