Iris Beach Hotel — Hotel in Municipality of Monemvasia

One of my favourite and definitely the best-valued hotel in my month-long trip through Peloponnese.

The owner (and rest of staff) is extremely kind and flexible. The room was spotless, new-feeling, matching interior design, with a little balcony, 'mosquito net sliding door' that also repels sunlight, and a very efficient (and quiet!) AC.

The location was ideal, as it was not too far from Movemvasia, but not too close either and the noise and hustle was non-existent. The huge veranda facing the sea and the Monemvasia rock is the best selling point of this place. To complement the great location, the staff and owners treated us like family. Their service was above and beyond. Breakfast was tasty and a lot of the offered food was sourced from local farms. A nice beach with small round pebbles, instead of sand, was a few minutes walk from the hotel and the sea was magnificent, both in clarity and temperature. As an added bonus, we witnessed the dash of a few little Caretta turtles from their marked nests to the sea. It was a...
