Atheras

This place is trash. I had a family emergency and had to cancel my trip there with my son for April 2025 and they would not reimburse me. I will never stay here in the future. They have plenty of time to re book the room as my stay was over a month away, and they still won't provide a rewind. I think that's unacceptable and bad business. I encourage anyone thinking about staying here to the read the reviews on *******. Lots of okayish reviews claiming the amenities and cleanliness are not up to par. God forbid you have an emergency and can't make your trip. You will lose your money. Beware!

Atheras was a nice little hotel, but all the amentities are not actually available. They do not have a restaurant that is open, nor a bar. They only offer the paid breakfast in the morning. The elevator is not for people, but luggage only, and the only way to get into the hotel is up stairs, which was difficult for my mom. The pool is actually quite small. Much of the hotel seemed as though it is not used in a long time. The jacuzzi and sauna are only available if you pay for them, and they have to give them notice so they can heat them up. We got a massage through the spa and our hair was completely covered in oil. The lady was nice, but the massage wasn't anything special. We did book ahead of time for the massage. The night lady was very helpful, but the lady during the day seemed like we were bothering her when we asked for directions or help. The hotel is at the bottom of a steep hill, so don't follow Google maps to get there. You will need to go around by the pier/plaza and then come from that direction. I walked the area to figure out the little streets to get to the parking, but there was plenty. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked. We were given only a sheet, but there were blankets available in the closet. There was no good swimming in the ocean readily available, it was down a little ways as the port took up most of the space nearby. There were not many restaurant options either. It is a very small town. Not much for tourists.

A blessing by chance. We missed our stop at Mykonos and had to detour to Ikaria. On the spot booked this hotel. We arrived and throughout our stay, we fell in love. Irene was the most sweetest and helpful person. The people of the town, also so nice and friendly. A beautiful hotel, accommodating, and a simple nice breakfast. We can't express how grateful we are to Irene...and if you need a taxi, we recommend Stelios. Just ask around, you'll get his number. He's well known, helpful and honest.
