hotel in Delphi/Arachova ?
Does anyone have a recommendation on whether to stay in Delphi or Arachova, and specific hotels that they would recommend or not recommend ? The guidebooks seem to suggest that the Hotel Vouzas and The Best Western Anemolia are reasonable (and I'm frustrated that I can't seem to find an e-mail address for either!). Thanks!! <BR>

Arachova, IMO, is much nicer than Delphi ... even though we stayed in the Amalia, in Delphi. The 4-star Amalia offers all one would like regarding accomodations, a/c, service, pool, etc, except for a double bed (unless I´m wrong, all rooms are furnished with spearated twin beds).<BR><BR>If you´re going in the summer, a/c is a must, except possibly in Arachova, which is quite high in altitude.<BR><BR>http://www.greekhotel.com/amalia/home.htm<BR><BR>We booked through a Greek travel agent who got us a better deal than reserving directly (though we also used the Amalias in Athens and Nafplio!)<BR>

I have also stayed at the Amalia and I found it to be quite pleasant. The building is made of some kind of stone so it remains cool at all times. The pool is very nice and the food is absolutely delicious (the best hotel food I had in Greece).<BR><BR>Delphi is very small so it is very easy to get around.<BR><BR>In summer, Delphi is VERY HOT during the afternoon. Even walking down the street is a chore.<BR><BR>The museum in Delphi is fabulous, especially if you go to see the One-Armed Charioteer.<BR><BR>

Thanks! Good advice. We were thinking about staying at the Amalia in Nafplio too, so maybe staying in the Amalia in both places makes sense. By any chance do you still have the contact info for the Greek travel agent whom you got the good deal on the Amalias from ? -- Lisa

I did not like the Hotel Anemolia (sp?) in Arachova (visited Aug 2000). I found it a bit shabby, hotel staff a bit standoffish.<BR><BR>Next time I would rather pay more and stay in the Amalia hotel -- I did not personally see this one, but the other Amalias in the chain are very nice & deluxe.
