Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Ploes

Once a private 19th-century estate in the upscale district of Ermoupoli, Hotel Ploes has been completely renovated to luxury hotel status. Room decor is a tasteful mix of handwoven carpets, light inviting colors, painted ceilings, Venetian light fixtures, and marble bathrooms—some bathrooms have steam rooms and whirlpool baths. The entrance faces the city and is within walking distance of main sights. The back part of the hotel faces the sea where a private paved terrace is accessible to guests for sunbathing or swimming in the Aegean. A small café with views of the Aegean offers snacks and drinks—that's also where the complimentary breakfast is served.
