Amenities

At the family-run and very lovingly managed Ekavi Hotel, the motto is "arrive as a guest, leave as a friend." ME FILOUS stands for special hospitality, with which the German-speaking owner, Chrisoula, and her entire team make every holiday day something special. This small hotel is not only an ideal place for relaxation but also a perfect base for discovering the diverse island. The 59 renovated residential units, spread over two floors, have also been renovated and offer every comfort. The central hub is the reception (staffed for 17 hours) with a safe for hire and a cozy lounge. Additionally, there is a breakfast room and a bar. An à-la-carte restaurant with a terrace offers Greek and international delicacies while enjoying the sunset. In the well-kept outdoor area, a sun terrace with comfortable loungers and daybeds surrounding the freshwater swimming pool invites you to linger, making it an ideal meeting point for pleasant conversations and relaxing hours in the sun. The adjacent pool bar provides refreshments. Sun loungers and umbrellas are complimentary at the pool and available for a fee at the beach.
Wi-Fi is included in public areas and in the rooms.
