Niriides
Self-catering studios in the old town, wrought-iron and tile finish
About this hotel
Niriides leans into the old town's character rather than a generic hotel finish, with wrought-iron beds, earthy colours and patchwork tiles giving each studio a handmade feel that matches the lanes outside. The kitchen is a genuine one, with an oven, fridge and microwave alongside a proper dining area, built for guests who want to cook rather than eat out every night in a town full of restaurants. Tavernas, a bakery and cafes sit just steps from the door, so self-catering here is a choice rather than a necessity. Faneromenis Monastery is two kilometres out, and public parking sits 150 metres away for anyone arriving by car, with Aktion Airport a manageable eighteen kilometres beyond that.

Our take
This is a strong pick for families and longer-stay travellers who want a genuine old-town base with a proper kitchen, rather than a hotel room with a mini fridge. The wrought-iron and tile finish gives it more character than most aparthotels in town. Guests wanting a pool on site should look at Kastro Suites or Kamares Luxury Apartments instead, since Niriides' strength is location and self-catering rather than resort facilities.
- ✓Shop at the nearby bakery each morning for fresh bread rather than relying on a supermarket run.
- ✓Use public parking 150 metres out rather than trying to find street parking directly outside; old-town lanes are tight.
- ✓Cook at least a few dinners in; the fully equipped kitchen is a genuine standout for the old town's studio options.

Why guests love itCooking dinner most nights in a proper kitchen, oven included, made a week in the old town feel manageable on a budget instead of an expensive string of taverna meals. The wrought-iron beds and tiled floors gave the studio a character we hadn't expected from photos alone. Being steps from a bakery meant breakfast was never a chore, fresh bread most mornings before exploring the lanes.
