Achilleas Pension

We stayed with two children in a large and very nice apartment, just renovated with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. We were impressed by the cleanliness (daily) and the kindness and extreme courtesy of the property. The apartment is 5 minutes walk from the port (no steps). We will definitely be back!

I stayed at this family-owned and operated hotel during my solo trip to Greece in June 2024 and had an incredible experience. The owners were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, offering a fantastic restaurant recommendation and even helping me get in touch with another hotel I was staying at later in my trip. I really enjoyed my room, especially the smart TV with access to streaming platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and more. Even though the room was older, it was still clean and well-maintained. The hotel features plenty of outdoor seating, both on the main level and the rooftop, which offers a breathtaking view of Hydra. Centrally located, it’s just a 5–7 minute walk from Hydra Harbor. While many shops and stores are within walking distance, the hotel is tucked on a quiet street, making it a peaceful retreat for restful sleep. As some reviewers mentioned, the hotel can be a bit tricky to find on your own. However, I proactively asked a few local residents, and they were incredibly kind, offering clear and easy directions. I definitely plan to revisit in the future.

We decided to go to Greece earlier than our original date of September 20th because of the impending Air Canada pilot strike. So we arrived on September 16th and didn't want to stay in Athens so me and my girlfriend chose Hydra not knowing anything about it except what we read. We then found Achilleas Pension to stay at which turned out to be an absolute gem with wonderful friendly people running it, Achilleas and Dimitris. We stayed four nights but wished we could have stayed longer. I highly recommend this hotel! Everything about Hydra and this hotel was perfect! Great rooms, great Courtyard and great Rooftop Terrace! We definitely will go back to Hydra and definitely stay at Achilleas Pension again! A huge thank you to Achilleas and Dimitris for making our stay so wonderful!
