Hotel Meltemi
No-frills sea-view rooms near Lagada Beach
Su questo hotel
Named for the summer wind that sweeps the Cyclades, Meltemi keeps things simple: sea-facing rooms, a short walk to Lagada Beach, and the port of Adamas close enough for an evening stroll along the waterfront. It won't compete with the spa suites up the road on amenities, but the location does the work, putting the sand and the harbour taverns both within easy reach on foot. Rooms include air conditioning, private bathrooms and free WiFi, with a flat-screen TV and basic toiletries covering the rest. The four-kilometre run from the airport keeps arrival logistics painless for anyone landing on a late flight after a long travel day, and non-smoking rooms are available on request.

Il nostro parere
Meltemi works for travellers who care more about proximity to the beach than about polish in the room, and who are happy trading a spa or a dressed-up breakfast spread for a lower nightly rate. The simplicity means lower rates than the suite hotels nearby, which suits a longer stay on a tighter budget. Anyone wanting a spa, a pool or an elaborate breakfast should book one of the newer Adamas properties instead, since Meltemi keeps its focus on location alone.
- ✓Walk to Lagada Beach in the early morning before the wind picks up, hence the hotel's name
- ✓Book a room away from the street side if noise bothers you
- ✓Eat at least one dinner at the port taverns, the walk there is short and worth it

Perché piace ai viaggiatoriNothing fancy, but the location did exactly what we needed: a five-minute walk to Lagada Beach each morning and a short stroll into the port for dinner most nights without ever needing a car. The room itself was basic but clean, and the sea view from the window was a genuine bonus at this price point. Air conditioning kept things bearable through a hot stretch in July. Wouldn't book it for a special-occasion trip, but for a beach-first week focused on value it worked well.
