Diana Hotel

Excellent small clean and friendly hotel and well located, 2 mins from the beach (beware there were a few sea urchins around would advise you to wear shoes for going into the water).

Visalli the owner very friendly and make the best gin and tonic ever.

Don't get excited by breakfast it is bread and jam, orange juice, tea or coffee. Linen changed regularly and maid service every day apart from Sunday but hey I am sure you can live with that.

The only drawback there was no air conditioning and temperatures were in the 40's when we were there. Plenty of pubs and restaurants for meals out cafes and snack bars if you don't fancy a huge meal.

Beautiful area hire a car to get about use the local companies they are fine.

Had a lovely holiday in Pefkohori the weather was perfect. The Hotel Diana is very basic so would not recommend to any one who wanted a more luxurios accommodation.

The rooms are basic with not much storage space and I would recommend the carpets being cleaned and the bathroom fittings overhauled, the grill in the shower came away and my foot nearly disappeared.

The breakfast is advertised by Billy as being very basic and it was. Don't want a massive breakfast, but perhaps a few more choices of cereal would have been nicer rather than just cornflakes and bread and jam or toast and jam. On saying that everyone was very friendly and helpful.

On a better note please go to restaurant El Gecco. Turn left out of the hotel then first right. It is down there on the left. You will get an amazing meal served by a friendly person also called Billy. He will treat you very well and make sure your meal is outstanding, We had a few meals there and had on the house drinks and puddings. He speaks good English, but feel ashamed we don't make more effort to speak a foreign language.

Everything that could go right, did.

Starting at the airport. The plane departure time had been brought forward (we never checked), there was nobody at the desk and when we got there we thought we would be sitting apart but straight away they offered us the two seats at the front, that we would normally have to pay extra for.

We only booked a cheap holiday to keep us going till September so we were not expecting anything brilliant but I was so wrong.

Pefkhori is a beautiful place, not too crowded[early may] and the weather was brilliant.

The hotel Diana is a lovely family run place very clean and very friendly, the breakfast is very basic but hey! who cares it is only six in the morning [our time].

There are lots of wonderful places to eat and nice bars, the captains restaurant is very good nice staff.

The trip to the weekly market was good, lots and I mean lots of stalls lots of clothes, handbags, shoes [don’t take a full suitcase] oh yes and belts and caps and clothes for the men!

Did a boat trip as well it was really good, sunbathed, played beach games, ate, drank, and had a really fun day out. The beach at Pefkhori is nice and because we went at the beginning of may it wasn’t crowded.

I’ve given this place a rating of 9 because we had a lovely chilled out time with no worries and no problems no complaints what so ever.

A friendly welcome by the owner of the hotel, but his parents who also help with the running of the hotel leave a lot to be desired. They work behind the bar and also in the breakfast room. You were made to feel awkward asking for a drink and they were VERY unfriendly.

We were not aware we had to clear our own breakfast things away due to the fact we had hardly been down to breakfast as it was so bad (crusty bread, and dried up cornflakes every day) and were given a telling off by the owners father for leaving them on the table! We simply have never cleared away plates before at any other hotel and didn't realise this is what we had to do. If he had been more polite I would not have minded. They created a bad atmosphere in the hotel. We were made to feel like we were not welcome at all.

Apart from that hotel was clean and situated in a great location near to the beach. But really this hotel should be called Thomson Small and 'Unfriendly'.

Won't be staying there again.

This was my second trip back to the Diana. Again, what can I say the hotel was immaculate, and Billy and his mum and dad treated all the guests as one of the family.

This is the perfect resort to go to if you want to get away from it all!!! Pefkohori and the locals give you a true taste of Greek life.

The wonderful tavernas are full of mouth-watering recipes - where do you go first.

For a truly wonderful night out - go on the Greek night excursion and the many wonderful trips giving you an insight into Greek culture and history.

A wonderful country and a more wonderful nation.

Can’t wait for 2005 - see you all again in the summer
