It's hard for me to adequately describe a place as special as Hotel Ethaleia. Dina, Apostolos and their team have created a unique and restful environment that facilitates connection to the island and the interesting people who live and visit here.
A Limnos native, Dina has deep knowledge and appreciation of the history/heritage/geology of the place. She carefully designed Hotel Ethaleia with respect for the island and her ancestors while ensuring the inn provides a comfortable space for visitors. Nothing about Hotel Ethaleia feels manufactured or forced. It's a delightful home-away-from home that I was very sad to leave.
The setting, beauty, comfort and ease cannot be matched! Dina is a gifted host who makes her visitors feel like family. From finding missing luggage, to preparing special meals, to telling stories of the island and sharing lots of laughs...she is the heart of the experience.
