Our stay got off to an excellent start and just got better and better. A golf cart met us at the gate and, although it was late at night, the hotel owner, Marianna, was there to welcome us. She even escorted us to a nearby restaurant which was still open. We had an excellent and leisurely meal and, when we asked for the bill, the manager informed us that he had been asked to contact Marianna who would be back to walk us home.
My husband and I both have mobility issues and were given a lovely room with great air conditioning which opened onto the courtyard where Maria served us a lovely breakfast each morning.
Although close to shops and many restaurants, as well as within walking distance of the harbour, palace etc., the hotel was quiet and sitting in the courtyard each evening was a pleasure, as was meeting the other guests. We had Marianna's direct line and nothing was too much trouble.
Only vehicles with permits are allowed within the old city walls but there is a free municipal golfcart service which can be phoned or flagged down.
We highly recommend the boat trip to Symi and have no hesitation in encouraging others to book a stay in Artemios or its sister hotel, Saint Nicholas. Satisfaction guaranteed. A huge thank you to Marianna and all her staff xxx
