Oceanis Hotel

Karpathos


The mirrored lobby and gold-trim bar of this family-run hotel, five minutes’ walk west of the harbour, scream '80s kitsch, but the 50-odd rooms, with their neat blue-and-white trimmings, tasteful furniture and, especially, sea-facing balconies redeem any wrongs. Rates include a buffet breakfast spread, and the front veranda is also great for sundowners.
