Hera 2
Sea-view rooms with a sun terrace and garden retreat
About this hotel
Hera 2 gives guests a genuine choice of outdoor spaces, a sun terrace, garden and patio all available beyond the room's own balcony, useful for finding a shaded or sunny spot depending on the time of day. Rooms include a refrigerator, electric kettle and wardrobe, straightforward rather than styled, and free parking removes a common friction point for guests arriving by car. The three-minute walk to Remataki Beach and proximity to the Folklore Museum keep both swimming and a bit of sightseeing within easy reach. Vathy, the island's capital, sits around eleven kilometres north for a half-day change of scene. Panagia Spiliani above the harbor makes a worthwhile evening walk once the day's heat has broken. Ferries toward Patmos and the wider Dodecanese leave from the small port in town. The Natural History Museum of the Aegean and the Folklore Museum both sit within easy reach for a quieter day.

Our take
This suits travellers who value outdoor space as much as the sea view itself, Hera 2's terrace, garden and patio giving genuine variety compared to a single balcony. The three-minute walk to Remataki Beach makes this one of the closer budget-friendly options to the sand. Guests wanting a pool on site should consider Studio Nikos or Doryssa Lithos Hotel instead, since Hera 2 focuses on outdoor space rather than swimming facilities.
- ✓Use the patio in the morning and the sun terrace in the afternoon, each catches the light differently through the day
- ✓Walk to Remataki Beach early, the three-minute distance makes even a quick pre-breakfast swim genuinely realistic
- ✓Visit the Folklore Museum on a day when the terrace feels too warm to enjoy properly

Why guests love itHera 2 suits families who spend more time outdoors than in the room. Besides the balconies, there is a sun terrace, a garden and a patio, so children have space to move between swims. Remataki Beach is a three-minute walk, which keeps beach trips short with small children. There is no pool on site, and Samos airport is only two kilometres away, handy for early flights. I would pick it for a simple sea-view stay in Pythagoreio.
