Family hotels and homes in Deskáti

This was a really good find for our overnight stay, we didn’t want to stay near the tourist spots at Meteora, didn’t know much about this town, but if you want to experience some small town genuine Greek life, please visit this place and the accommodation was I’m assuming a 5 star hotel? I don’t usually stay in 5 star hotels in Western countries but for the price that was a bargain! Being a Kiwi and not understanding the local business hours, we found a restaurant down the road, the town square was closed, he gave us a huge plate of lamb chops, a huge salad with a large block of Feta, back home in NZ that Feta would have cost us half the price of the meal! I’m assuming it’s not a tourist town ( I could be wrong) but it was fantastic value for money, also got a workout in downstairs at the gym.Great service, lovely lady who helped us, possibly the highlight of our 1 week in Greece, you can’t beat those of the beat non tourist spots!

Beautiful village atmosphere with very friendly and helpful family hosts. Great breakfast and a short walk to the village square where all the locals congregate. Short 15 car ride to a lookout with fantastic panoramic views.
