Hotel Ippocampos Studios
Whitewashed studios two minutes from the water in Adamas
Sobre este hotel
The shutters are the tell here: painted the same blue as the harbour boats, they open onto balconies that catch the afternoon light sliding west over the bay. Studios keep a kitchenette and dining corner for anyone cooking their own dinner after a beach day, and a continental breakfast covers the mornings that don't feel like cooking. Rooms come with private bathrooms, air conditioning and free WiFi as standard, and family units add the extra floor space that a studio alone can't offer. The walk to the taverns and shops of Adamas takes only a few minutes on foot, and the port itself is roughly a kilometre off, an easy stroll for the ferry crowd catching an early boat with luggage in tow.

A nossa opinião
Ippocampos Studios suits travellers who want a self-catering base within walking distance of the port without paying for a full sea-view suite. The studios facing the water are worth requesting outright, since the garden-side rooms share the same rate but not the same outlook. Anyone chasing a proper caldeira-style panorama should look toward Plaka instead, since this is a village-level outlook, not a clifftop one, and the rooms themselves stay simple rather than styled.
- ✓Ask specifically for a sea-facing studio, the garden-side units cost less for a reason
- ✓Use the kitchenette for at least one dinner, the Adamas fish market is a short walk away
- ✓Book the airport shuttle ahead if you land after dark, taxis thin out quickly

Porque os viajantes adoramThe studio worked well for a week of self-catering: the kitchenette handled breakfast most mornings, and the balcony faced enough west that sunset drinks became a routine before the walk into Adamas for dinner. The port was close enough to wheel the suitcases down for an early ferry without booking a taxi. Air conditioning kept the room comfortable through the hottest stretch of August. The one real gripe was that a sea-facing room should have been confirmed by name at booking, not assumed from the listing photos.
