Likinia Hotel in Monemvasia

The experience of staying within walls is something else. Monemvasia has managed to capture and maintain the feel of an ancient fortification while giving one the comforts of modern civilization (indoor plumbing!)

The Likinia Hotel is well located, about a 5 minute walk away from the main street and sufficiently separated. At times you even have the feeling that you have the whole fortress to yourself.

Since the family room was the last available option, we had an entire apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to ourselves. The rooms were very clean and spacious, especially for just two individuals. We recommend booking well in advance or checking with the hotel directly so that you can get an appropriately sized room and allow more people to experience the place :)

The staff were kind and even helped with our bag up the final winding route to the room. The breakfast was a smaller spread but comprised of very high quality food in our opinion. The complimentary bottle of wine for the stay (a regional variety) was also a nice touch.

The view from the room was also quite nice and we could look out onto the sea over the tops of other buildings. It was a really nice experience.

We would recommend the hotel for it's location and will consider going back if we visit Monemvasia again.

Great location, beautiful room, great service

This is a one of a kind stay! If you are visiting monemvasia, you should be sure to stay on the island inside the fortress. We loved our time here! Great hiking up to the church on top of the hill, beautiful views, such a unique little community. We loved our stay!

Lovely stay
Was a lovely stay in a unique location.
We were made to feel very welcome by the owners. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous service and delicious breakfasts, breathtaking view, unique experience, highly recommend

Super location on the island! The room was very nice and a bottle of wine was left for us. The host was fabulous. He went out of his way to help us with the wi-fi, directions, and other items. Definitely recommend this lodging.

Location, Location, Location! It is a step backwards in time, but with current day amenities. Breakfast was great, Staff was very nice and friendly and helpful. Views were incredible. Exploring the lower town maze was fun! Restaurants were plentiful. Biggest regret, we did mot plan enough time to explore the upper level of town. One of the highlights of our trip!

The owner of the hotel is a 78-year-old lady. She is very nice and the breakfast environment is surprising.

Enchanting structure in the ancient village of Monemvasia. Super friendly staff. The price is high but justified by the wonderful place.

Fantastic little castle town and hotel. Great view of the sea and the staff is very welcoming and speak decent English. They gave us a free 357 ml bottle of a local sweet wine as a gift. Very delicious. The only downside is that they are on the farther side of town so you'll have to haul your suitcase over some bumpy roads and stairs to get there. It is very quiet on that side of town however.
