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!

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.

Bekvämt läge mitt i Zaros

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.

Lovely hosts, lovely breakfast

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.
