Pasiphae Hotel

Lesvos


A well-managed and welcoming hotel in a shady setting at Skala Kallonis, about 300m from the sea and village square. It's a favourite for returning visitors, including the birdwatchers who gather at the lobby bar to compare notes in spring and autumn. Managed by the informative Vasillis Vogiatzis, with exceptional service and spotless rooms.
