Top 9 Pensions in Greece, Greece

April 28, 2023 Kelli Reichel

Greece is one of those rare places where ancient history is still very much a part of modern life. Visitors are as much drawn to the country’s epic intellectual history as its beauty and charm. Make time for the iconic features of the Acropolis of Athens, which include the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike. Mythology buffs will appreciate Crete, Olympia, Samos, and Naxos for their mythological significance. For a peaceful beach vacation, the island of Santorini is perfect.

Pension Dafni

Dafni pension is located in the center of the old town, beneath the rock of Upper Nafplio and Palamidi, open all year round, located close by the major hotels of Nafplio. Pension Dafni was established in 2001 in a neoclassical building, on the site of the house of the poet Stephanos Dafne, whose the name was taken by the pension. Close by are the open market of Nafplio, the train and the bus station. 200M from Dafni pension is the picturesque beach of Arvanitia, where visitors can swim and enjoy the pure blue sea beneath the shadow of two castles.

Great location, friendly staff

Reviewed By karinstockholm

The pension is located just off the main walking area which means it is quiet and relaxing but close to all attractions. Some rooms have probably pretty views while the one we stayed in was on the ground floor with private entrance and a patio outside. Perfect as I had problem with a knee. Breakfast plentiful and served at the table. Good in covid times. A draw back was the not so good wifi. We went to the reception and they restarted it and it worked slightly better afterwards. So that is a tip if you experience the same problems. On the other hand. The town is so pretty and you are out and about most of the time and can safe surfing until later :-)

I am writing this sitting on the terrace above the pool and in the beautiful sun of Santorini. Hotel is exceptional and everything you need for your stay. Rooms clean and of a great standard with housekeeping every day. We loved it so much will stay here again next year. Short walk to all the shops and bars and amazing views. Highly recommend and the owners are so helpful.

Sun, Sea and Eleni

I can only more than agree with the many great reviews below. Read and then experience, you will not be disappointed. I had a wonderful 16-day holiday at Pansion Akrogiala, my “holiday” home away from home. It's the perfect place for a relaxing beach holiday. It doesn't take long to feel at home here. No wonder, with such warm, welcoming and accommodating owners who are never far away. Eleni and her mother and father are the real thing, genuine, friendly and very hardworking people, always there to help, greet, organise or have a chat. The rooms, sea, beach, town, Island etc (see other reviews) are great but what makes this place special are the people that run the place. I loved my stay and can’t wait to return to my “holiday home” in the not-too-distant future.

Saga Pension

At the pension “SAGA”, which situated at the exit of Gytheio to Areopolis , between the port and the little island of Kranai, the French hostess Odile is waiting for you. With her warm hospitality and her French temperament, is willing to help you and offer you any information you might need. The pension has 14 rooms for 1, 2 or 3 people. Most of them have view at the gulf of Laconia and the island Kranai, while the rest of them have view at the back of the pension . You can take your breakfast at the seaside or at your room balcony while admiring the wonderful sunrise. Saga is a 4 keys category the highest one a pension can reach.

Beautiful view

Reviewed By AIR12345

3 1/2 stars, rounding up. The location is excellent...water view (right across the street) from the balcony. Mme. Odile and her staff (including at least one daughter) are lovely, welcoming, and helpful. The room is cleaned daily, everything is immaculate and neat. What makes this less than 5 star for me are things that may or may not matter to many...the room is quite small...a tight fit even for two people. The bed is not super comfortable. The bathroom is tiny, with a hand held shower. The breakfast is very basic. None of those things are bad per se. It just depends on the level of comfort you seek. This is a good value. We enjoyed our stay at Saga.

Great price and excellent location

Reviewed By gilesl2014

We stayed for a week at The Flower. It was less than a 10min walk to the main streets of Oia. The room was cleaned daily and Flora was lovely. We would defiantly go back again. Parking is available on site. We hired a car for the whole week to travel around the island as there is not a lot of public transport in general. However, no car was needed to get around Oia as it is all walkable.

A one night stay

Reviewed By Marianne S

Very very friendly host. Room is very nice and clean. Toiletries here. In the room a small kitchen with a sink. The hotel is in a central location to go to the supermarkt and restaurants. The owners give you advice where to go for dinner. In the pension is a breakfast area and also a nice sitting area with television.
