Ela Mesa

Our stay at Ela Mesa was absolutely fantastic! The staff was so helpful and friendly, and went out of their way to make our experience as comfortable as possible. The room looked even better than the pictures, and we had amazing view of Athens in the distance. The town of Souvala was calm and peaceful with a few restaurants with good and affordable food, and a small, friendly local population. Highly recommend for your next vacation!

A fabulous traditional hotel - a hidden gem. We only did 3 nights as it was the second part of our Athens trip, but it certainly wasn't long enough. Tge hotel is very clean, and our suite was lovely overlooking one of the 2 pools. Everything is walking distance to the hotel (marina, shops, supermarket, beach, and church). The main port was a 10 min cab ride and €15. The hotel is everything you need, beautiful surroundings, peaceful and relaxing. Perfect finish to a wonderful family city holiday to Athens. Our 10 year old son absolutely loved every minute. My son played in the pool, which was lovely. The owners are wonderful and really helpful, they made ypu feel at home. Breakfast was superb, with a good choice, as was the coffee. We had lunch and dinner at the hotel every day and always had a beautiful homemade meal. We will be returning in May 2026 for a week. Thank you

Great spot, quiet and close of everything. The owner helped us to rent a car, which was great. The Aegina Island is very beautiful, the view is spectacular. We went to Afaia Temple and the view was stunning. The roads are so so, but stit ok. Great Greek Taverns close too.

We visited Ela Mesa as a family of 4 for a week. Where do we start! The place is very beautiful, a hidden gem. Everything is very clean and housekeeping made our beds up and cleaned floors and bathroom daily. The pool is lovely and kids had so much fun! There were always available sun loungers. The food was amazing. We tried many dishes. We loved shrimp saganaki. Also the frappe, cocktails and daily snacks were of high quality. All the staff were very kind and helpful. Huge thanks to Thrassos for a wonderful stay! We hope to be back soon. Highly recommend! Much love to everyone in Ela Mesa!!

A well run hotel, the staff are very friendly with good communication. I needed help getting a taxi when I arrived in Aegina and they arranged one for me within 5 minutes. The hotel is very clean and I loved the pool. The breakfast is nice as well. I can recommend this hotel and hope to come back.

High highs and low lows This is a hard review to write because there was substantial advantages and good points but also some concerns. I’ll start with the good points. Nice breakfast with a variety of protein (eggs, sausage, yougurt) and carbs (pastries, fresh bread, etc.). Great location as it is close to many sights (Temple of Aphaia, beaches) but still only a 15- minute drive from Aegina town. Pool is beautiful. Staff very friendly and helpful. But unfortunately not everything was perfect. We had to switch rooms after two nights because the A/C wasn’t working. Those nights were very hot. And it took quite a bit of convincing to get the rather crusty owner to acknowledge the problem. (We even went to a hardware store and bought a thermometer!) In the second room (which was very large and cool), the bed wasn’t great. And lastly, the wifi ******. We always used data. Driving around, the hotel stock in Aegina seems rather poor (compared to what I’m used to), so this might actually have been one of the nicest places.
