Zorbas Hotel
Central studios 200 metres from the castle and three beaches
About this hotel
Zorbas Hotel sits right in the centre of Pythagoreio Town, close enough to three separate beaches, all within five hundred metres, that guests can choose a different one most days without much planning. The Lykourgos Logothetis Castle is two hundred metres away, an easy after-dinner walk, and each studio's kitchenette and fridge cover self-catering basics. Free WiFi runs throughout the property, and the port, three hundred metres from the door, keeps ferry connections and harbor life within an easy stroll. Samos International Airport's closeness to town keeps transfers short on both arrival and departure days. The Eupalinos Tunnel and the Heraion of Samos are both a short drive away for a change from the beach. 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.
- Central old-town location
- Kitchenette with fridge
- Close to three beaches
- Near the port and castle
Our take
This suits travellers who want to be genuinely central, walking distance to the castle, port and three beaches all from the same base, a rare combination in Pythagoreio. Families benefit from the choice of beaches without needing to settle on just one for the whole stay. Guests wanting a pool or spa facilities on site should consider Studio Nikos or Doryssa Method Hotel instead, since Zorbas focuses purely on its central position.
- ✓Try a different one of the three nearby beaches each day rather than settling on the same stretch of sand
- ✓Walk to Lykourgos Logothetis Castle after dinner, the two-hundred-metre distance makes it an easy evening addition
- ✓Use the kitchenette for a light breakfast before heading out to explore the port and old town streets
