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.

Simple room but a very gracious owner. We don't speak Greek and she didn't speak English but she prepared a lovely dinner for us. We felt like we had become part of her family.

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.

In middle of nowhere
Booked for 3 nights. However checked out in 2 days since it’s very inconvenient. It’s literally in the middle of nowhere. I had to book another hotel at last minute for the other day.
Accueil tres chaleureux, tres bel etablissement confortable. Propreté irrépprochable. Tres bien situé.

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.

Nonostante siamo arrivati molto tardi. Ci ha accolti una simpaticissima vecchietta che pur parlando solo greco non ha avuto problemi a farsi capire. Stanza grande e spaziosa. La colazione era fantastica e talmente abbondante che ci hanno datto un sacchettino da portare via. Personale cortese e gentile.

Lovely friendly old fashioned hotel
Charming traditional Greek experience. Unbelievably big home-made breakfasts of delicious pastries An unspoilt village with interesting shops, such as a traditional weavers, an instrument maker and several cafes, one run byThe same family as the hotel with immensely generous portions of home cooked food. Lovely walks and within easy reach of fascinating historical sites

Etape à ne pas manquer
Venus pour profiter de la montagne et faire les gorges de Rouvas, ce séjour a été très agréable, l'hôtel est tenu par une famille formidable. Les chambres sont spacieuses et dotées d'un balcon au calme. Le petit déjeuner est maison et gargantuesque (odeur délicieuse dès 6h du matin). La famille tient également une ferme et un restaurant (Vegera) qui est à tomber
