GREECE

On Meganisi we offer the choice of two very different types of accommodation, the quiet privacy of the Rose Garden Apartments, nestling in a quiet street amongst the locals, or the company of other visitors at Hotel Meganisi with its good sized swimming pool & bar. Each give you the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful island and mix with its truly friendly inhabitants.

Meganisi Hotel

The original Meganisi Island hotel is beautifully located on the edge of the village of Katomeri, overlooking the bay of Port Atheni. It is very much an inland hotel on a narrow quiet lane. Katomeri village remains a real village, home to the families that live on the island with little evidence of the tourism responsible for the new prosperity of the island.

The hotel has its own transport which collects you from the ferry landing at Vathi harbour and five minutes later, you´ll be booking into your room. You'll stay in a beautifully maintained, well-equipped hotel with air-conditioned rooms, en-suite facilities and a good sized quiet swimming pool.

The hotel, run by George and his family, is charmingly informal. Like the island on which it lies, it is relaxed and welcoming, with an excellent restaurant, attractive terraces and both indoor and outdoor bars. The poolside view gives a spectacular vista of the yachts rocking gently at anchor in Atheni Bay - a superb backdrop over which to enjoy a glass of ouzo as you relax in the sun.

If you're feeling energetic, there are spectacular walks through the island´s countryside. George will be pleased to point out to you the sun-trapped beaches and other places to visit.

The hotel has a speed boat for daily hire; bookings for the boat must be made at the same time as booking your accommodation.

Rose Garden Taverna Apartments

Meganisi, Port Vathi provides the setting for the Rose Garden Taverna and its Apartments. Located in one of Vathi´s quiet narrow streets on the edge of the village, just a few metres from the harbour and the Rose Garden Taverna. The apartments nestle amongst the local´s homes, allowing you to blend into the community and feel more like a local yourself than a visitor.

The apartments are airy and spacious, offering generous accommodation for up to six people. They are not air conditioned but freshened by the cool air flowing down the hills and through the valley. The apartments give you the independence of a self-catering holiday with the option of strolling along to the Rose Garden Taverna itself when you feel it´s someone else´s turn to do the cooking, and sample some real Greek home cooked food. In the evening Vathi is far from bustling, but the harbour does come to life as the visiting yachts tie up for the evening. Around the harbour there are just enough tavernas and bars to provide variety of choice and you can always try a meal at Hotel Meganisi or one of the fish restaurants. Vathi is an ideal base from which to explore the island. You can walk for fifteen minutes or so to Abelike Bay to sunbathe and swim.

Enjoy the hotel or apartments at special rates when taking a Yachtsun Sail ‘n’ Stay holiday.
