Flegra Palace

We were the first holidaymakers there from April 2024. The hotel staff are amazing and the hotel is really good. The transfer time from the airport is about 70 mins. We were on a bed and breakfast basis. As mentioned on previous reviews there are a great choice of cold foods and hot English . The pool is a good size but on the cold side. There are few Brits there and the clientele are on the elderley side making the hotel very quiet. There were children there but with no entertainment I wouldn't recommend it for them. The rooms were fine with a decent hot shower and free safety deposit box. We didn't realise about the hotel tax when we first checked in of 7 euros a day, so that was 49 euros for our week . The bar area and sevice is good with pints costing 4.5 euros. Wifi was great for us . To find the beach , turn right out of the hotel and look for the blue carpet hotel on the left over a busy road. Turn left and then second right down a short track, its about a 300 metre walk from the Flegra Palace. The beach is quite shingly and not great. You can hire 2 beds from the blue carpet for 10 euros which includes a large bottle of water. Pints are 4.5 euros. There are 2 nearby towns, Pefkochori is about half a mile out of the hotel turning right. The road is busy but there is a track on the right hand side behind a hedge or you can walk on the beach. There are bars and restaurants on the beach front but we found the better ones back over the main road and up a hill. Marios family restaurant on the main road seems to be the main place for Greek food, Gyros etc. The other town to the left is Chaniotis. Again , you must turn right then follow the beach path left by the blue carpet and follow for a mile. A taxi either way is 5 euros the same for Pefkochori. Chaniotis is about the same size but has a main square with bars etc, Kelfos seems the main bar with cocktails/sky sports. The Garden restaurant was great for food and Garry's Giros was very popular. All in all the hotel / resorts are on the quiet side for us Brits but thats what we enjoyed about it with its Greek charm.

We have just returned from our Easter holiday at the Flegra Palace hotel. We had the jacuzzi suite and we were four adults, my husband and my parents. We had plenty of space in the suite and we could spend time separetly if we felt like it. The terrace was great for spending time together at night and the sun chairs and jacuzzi were also well used by us. The restaurant had a great variety of food and it was quite delicious. The staff was also quite helpful and responded quite quickly to any request we had. One of the days my husband and I had a massage at the spa which was very relaxing. We will definetly return to the hotel if we come in the area again.

Everything was super clean, the staff was super nice, the beds were comfortable and they had super nice breakfast in the morning. The pool was also super clean, just a little bit cold hihi. They also have a restaurant at the hotel where you can eat and drink (+ a bar) 10/10, I highly recommend this hotel!

Excellent location, lovely staff, room cleaned every day, great choice at breakfast. Only issue was early risers taking all the sun beds around the pool but that is difficult for the staff to deal with. 15 minutes to the restaurant and bars and the beach front starts a few minutes away. Overall a wonderful hotel with excellent friendly staff

Excellent food and service, beautiful room with balcony or patio. I would recommend it to my family and friends and we would certainly book this hotel again for our stay. I'm hoping to return there for holiday in the near future.

The hotel was great. Good and clean rooms, with airconditioning and a balcony. There was an indoor and an outdoor pool. Plenty of room with amazing beds in the sun/shade. The food was good; dinner was included in our price and we could order from the menu (à la carte) and the service at the reception was great. Would have given 5 stars if there would be more things to do in the area. The options to do in May on the island were very limited and a lot was closed (rent a car or do something in the water, both of them we did). Especially in the evenings the options were limited.

Here's a very honest, personal review of this hotel. There are downsides but I'll save that for later. You have to consider its location. Our travel day (Oct 8th). Gatwick to Thessaloniki. Transfer through Holiday Extras / T4A (Transfers 4 All). This took 2 hours or so. We got the holiday through a British Airways sale. The 4* hotel is in between villages. You will need a car or take on the bus routes available to get around. Immediate village is Pefkohori. At least a mile away. The beach is a good 10 to 15 minute walk through streets across a busy road. The village is walkable but is the only one that is. Check in was painless. Receptionist cum manager was super friendly. "Porter" takes your luggage to your room. We got a free "end of season" upgrade to a family room. The 2nd floor room was spacious. Cleaned every day if needed. Good sized bed. Wardrobes with safe. Extra bedding. Good sized bathroom. Bedside tables. Coffee table. Two sofa beds. Power points everywhere. Bring travel plugs and all your chargers. Wi-Fi good everywhere. Dressing table with good sized mirror. TV. Fridge. Balcony with table and 4 chairs. Hanging space to dry clothes / towels. We were in room 308 which has a sea and pool view. Very special. Air con actually worked with its remote. We were on a B & B basis. You take breakfast in the Titanes restaurant. You enter via reception. You are greeted with options either side. Rice puddings / yoghurt / fruits / salads on one side. Cereals / breads / toaster / croissants on the other. Walking through you have all the jams and other spreads for your bread items. Then the "hot" food options. I tried the scrambled eggs, baked beans, "sausage", "bacon" first day. Bacon isn't a "British" bacon and the sausages are cocktail. All got cold within 5 minutes of sitting down to eat it. Then the drinks table consists three different types of coffee, teas and juices. The best hot food option is a freshly made omelette. We enjoyed breakfast once you get into the different mixes you can out together. Other facilities - a spa with pool and massage trea**ents. Kids play area with pool, table tennis and playground type items. The main pool with loungers. Another restaurant called Ambrosia, which we had two very nice meals at. And a bar which overlooks the pool area. All staff were very nice and friendly. Everywhere clean. Can't really fault the hotel but I will. We don't like to complain but I know some people do it just because. So, I hope that the following points are valid and will be looked into. Firstly, the room - the shower in the bathroom could not be hung up on its holder as it was too high to reach and it didn't hold very well. And one other thing to remember is that you cannot put toilet paper down the toilet. Not a complaint but something to remember. I was a bit disappointed with the hot food options at breakfast. A better way to keep things hot would be a good start

The hotel its nice reception staff are lovely and very helpful. The only thing I didn’t like about the hotel was the dogs and cats were roaming in the breakfast restaurant. But all in all everything it’s okay.

A lovely small hotel.Wonderful staff who work hard and create a restful a**osphere. However we found the food at breakfast to be too cold from the hot selection.But the fresh omelettes are good. Cold selection is good. The beds do not have mattress protector or the pillows either,which is a must for a four star hotel. Too many cats are roaming around and going into the dining room and rooms. Also stray dogs are in the area which should be addressed by the local town,as some people are scared by them. The hotel is next to a busy road which is quite noisy and can be dicey to cross at times and need to cross to get to the beach and bus stop. The buses are usually always full so had to use taxi s to the towns,which can add to extra cost,and not always available, especially at night.
