Yiannis Ηotel
Budget sea-view rooms with kitchenettes in Arkasa
About this hotel
Yiannis Hotel keeps to a simple formula in Arkasa: sea-view rooms, kitchenettes, a garden, and a 2-star price point that undercuts most of the village's other options. There's no pool here, which puts more weight on Arkasa's own rocky coves and clifftop paths as the daily activity. Family rooms make this workable for groups on a budget, and the kitchenette does the heavy lifting for meals in a village with limited dining choice. Guests who value that kind of setting over a resort-scale amenity list tend to rate this property highest, since the location itself does most of the work. It is the sort of detail that only shows up once you are actually staying there, not something a quick listing photo fully captures beforehand.

Our take
Budget-conscious families wanting a sea view and a kitchenette in Arkasa, without paying for a pool they might not need, will find Yiannis a fair, no-frills option. Anyone wanting a pool as a daily fallback should book Elenis or Golden Sun in the same village instead. Anyone wanting a bigger resort with more organised amenities should look elsewhere on the island instead.
- ✓Use Arkasa's coves for swimming rather than expecting a pool
- ✓Cook most meals in the kitchenette to keep costs down
- ✓Walk the clifftop paths in the cooler evening hours

Why guests love itYiannis Otel is a simple two-star family hotel in Arkasa, a clifftop village on the west coast of Karpathos, with sea-view rooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning and a garden. There is no pool, so families will rely on the nearby coast for swimming. The kitchenettes make breakfasts and light meals easy with children. I would choose it as a plain, practical base for families who spend their days out exploring; an 8.0 score from 103 reviews reflects modest but reliable rooms.
