Archontiko Hotel and Apartments
About this hotel
Archontiko takes its character from the traditional Karpathiot mansion style, with beachfront sea-view rooms and kitchenettes set within Finiki, the small palm-lined fishing village on the island's west coast. Family rooms make this workable for groups, and the traditional-mansion architecture, stone details, carved woodwork, gives the property a distinct sense of place that the newer resort builds elsewhere on Karpathos don't have. Finiki's harbour, with its handful of fishing boats, sits within walking distance. 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.
