I felt like we found the real Greece on Agistri, the island was what you would expect a Greek Island to be like, white wash and blue houses, narrow stone streets and cool churches||The Boulas Hotel was the perfect place for to stay during our honeymoon, it had stone floors, balcony to die for and a kitchen, the hotel is clean and romantic, the owners are very friendly.||Agistri is very quiet, during the weekdays in June there was barely anyone there, it was so private and secluded compared to other greek islands||We hired bicycles and rode to Dragonera and Limenaria – where if you keep going through the quiet village towards the coast you will find an amazing swimming hole, a platform with deep water you can jump off.||On our last day here we found a track along the coast, followed it and found a secret (probably not so secret to the Greeks) beach hidden by a cliff face, and quite a few people were camping there.||We wished we had stayed the extra night at Agistri as we took the ferry across to Aegina Island – which we...

Staff is nice, but they simply don’t offer certain things. We asked for blankets, but were told they don’t have any during the summer, because it’s too hot. We were told not to run the air conditioner while we were out, so we always came home to a very hot room! Clean room. But the fridge was turned off, and all appliances were very old.
Edit: I am changing the service from 4 starts to 2 stars because although checkout time is listed as 8:00 - 11:00 am, when I asked to check out at 8:00 am, I was told they were not available until 9:00. ...
