Orkos Beach Hotel

We were made to feel very welcome at Orkos Beach Hotel. The team really couldn’t do enough for us. The breakfast is generous and delicious with an abundance of fresh fruit, homemade pies and cakes, eggs, cheeses and great coffee. +walking distance to two beautiful beaches +great choice of kiteboard schools +good variety of restaurants in the village +grocery store/bakery on your doorstep +spacious rooms with big balconies giving great views over the sea +lovely pool in garden area -book outside of school holidays as it is popular with families with kids

Great location for kiters. Unfortunately, getting any answers out of them before we arrived. was like pulling teeth. Even to confirm that they got our booking required 3 separate inquiries. The rooms were nice and quiet and spacious. Firm mattress. Great blackout curtains. The fridge in the room did not have a mini freezer in it. Breakfast was overall pretty good. Kontos restaurant across the street was not good. (As far as the food goes). Disappointing. The restaurant on site was good, but not a great view. Great yoga nearby (Vasiliki).

We stayed in Orkos Beach as a small group of friends and had the best time ever! The hotel is really pretty, with love for the detail, and super close to the kite beach which was the main reason to book in the beginning. But when we got here we totally fell in love with this place. The staff is super friendly and always happy to help, the breakfast is really nice and offering all that you need. And if you feel like food and drinks during the day or at night just go to Flisvos Kite Center next door: good vibes and a team that felt like family as soon as we visited for the first time. We will miss this place and will come back for sure!

Very enjoyable stay Island hopping around the Cyclades and stopped off at Naxos. 3 night relaxing stay - clean and comfortable accommodation. Lay by the pool and also visited the long stretch of sandy beach. Good fun travelling inter island by ferry. Starting point Mykonos and final destination Santorini.

We loved the vibe of this hotel right next to the kite surfing shop which also does lovely food and drinks. Our room had a curvy flint stones feel to it and the views and sunsets were stunning from our balcony. More storage in the bathroom is needed as this room is essentially a wet room and even the toilet and loo roll gets wet. Really comfy beds and room was refreshed daily. Staff are relaxed and friendly, breakfast was lovely. (Nut milk as an alternative to cows milk would have been good - only cows milk available) The seating areas are accessible all day and the hotel don’t mind at all if you bring in food from other places to eat (the souvlaki from Kontos across the road is worth a try & super cheap) The pool is lovely with comfortable enough sun loungers, no umbrellas are available but we found shade under the trees, it just meant we were moving our stuff around a lot. A few umbrellas would be useful. The beach is stunning and has much more room and less touristy than nearby Plaka but sunloungers and umbrellas are sparse. You will have to buy your own umbrella for shade. TIP ABOUT CAR HIRE - we asked the hotel about hiring a car and they best they could do was a basic car for 140 euros for one day or 240 euros for 2 days. We walked up to the car rental shop up the road (turn left from the hotel & walk up road for about 3 mins) and we got a car for 50 euros for 24 hrs. RECOMMENDATIONS - Victoria cafe is truly lovely, we went at sunset for pizza and it was the nicest pizza I’ve had in a long time. The view is beautiful, chilled music and great if you have little ones as there is a play park in the dunes. Chalki is a nice village to visit with some cute little shops and cafes. We had a crepe in cafe Grecco which was gorgeous We also visited the old derelict hotel in Alyko which has some amazing graffiti, there are some gorgeous little quiet beaches to swim in there too.
