My wife and I stayed at the Meltemi Suites during the May half-term break. We were instantly greeted by Yanna who was incredibly helpful and pleasant throughout our entire stay. Despite the heavy suitcases, she insisted on carrying one to our room for us. The staffing in the hotel made it such a welcoming and relaxing holiday, Panos too was so friendly and would do anything so that you enjoyed your stay. We had room 8, which was tucked into a corner but it did have a lovely view of a little courtyard area when you opened the doors and windows. The room itself was typically and authenticity Greek and was plenty spacious for the 2 of us. Great air conditioning, small fridge. There was a tv but no channels tuned in but that wasn’t an issue. The bathroom was a good size, half decent shower. Only complaint was that was no shower screen or curtain at all so the bathroom floor was soaked. Cleaner daily & cleaned well. We had the opportunity to view 2 other rooms and these too were authentically Greek but had their own individual layout and decor. We stayed half board with our evening meal served at the Atlantis restaurant which is a 1 minute walk from the hotel and looks out onto the beach. We didn’t have a bad meal there, plenty of choice and every night consisted of a 3 course meal. Portion sizes not too bad. Breakfast in the hotel was very fresh. There was a small choice of warm food, eg bacon, sausage, omelette, scrambled, fried eggs and beans but sometimes none were available when we arrived (& it wasn’t late) but Yanna or Panos would happily cook more if you asked. Not many beds around the pool but there are only 16 rooms so it makes sense. There are other beds above the rooms too (& some rooms have their own bathing area. Didn’t try the pool as the temperature was cool (it was only May). Hotel is in the resort of Perissa. Plenty of restaurants and small bars but Perissa itself is a tad disappointing. We caught the boat taxi to Kamari (€8 per person each way and approx 10 min) one day and that has a nicer feel to it. Visiting Oia and Fira are a must. The sights are beautiful. Cruise tourists galore so the customary queueing for the perfect snaps are inevitable. We used the buses which can get busy but quite frequent. €2.50 from Perissa to Fira and a further €2 from Fira to Oia (you have to change at Fira) Bus exchange at Fira is hectic and buses reversing into groups of people so beware 😂 There is no bar area in the hotel however there is a price list for a limited choice of drinks. Dorians bar is very popular and just at the end of the street. €7 per cocktail there and a large choice Overall, a lovely little Greek treasure and a thoroughly relaxing holiday. Would definitely return. Thank you Yanna and Panos
