HHC Magazine's pick of acccommodations
Hotel Telesilla in Kontokali consistently offers guests superb and friendly service at very reasonable prices. Hotel Telesilla underwent a full renovation in the winter of 2005-2006, and everything inside is brand new, from the lobby to the beds. The restaurant and bar is open all day for the convenience of guests. HHC Magazine awards Hotel Telesilla 5 stars for outstanding service and value.
Artemis Hotel in Dassia provides guests with clean and updated apartments for a comfortable holiday stay. Every attention is paid to detail in this family-run establishment. The grounds are beautiful, and the pool is well maintained. Location is central to everything in Dassia. HHC Magazine awards Artemis Hotel 5 stars for outstanding service and value.
Panorama Apartments in Afionas offers each guest a stunning sea view from the large balcony of his apartment. Quarters are large and spotlessly clean. On the site is also the Panorama Taverna, with excellent food and a stunning view. Prices are quite reasonable, and the Gialopsos family will see to your every need. HHC Magazine awareds the Panorama Apoartments 5 stars for outstanding service and value.
HHC Magazine's pick of restaurants
The Pumphouse in Acharavi is Acharavi's oldest and best known restaurant. In business since the 1950's, it is open all year and serves locals and tourists alike. The food is authentic, fresh, and every attention is paid to preparation. The service is impeccable, and prices are very reasonable.
In every way, the Pumphouse deserves the HHC Magazine 5-star award.
Harry's Taverna in Kontokali has been serving customers for more than one hundred years. All food is homemade and prepared from the freshest ingredients available. The service at Harry's is both friendly and attentive as the Gerekos family strives to maintain the tradition of a century's service. HHC Magazine awards Harry's Taverna 5 stars for its consistent standard of excellence.
Vergina Restaurant in Gouvia serves locals and tourists in a beautiful garden setting. Souvlaki & sirtaki--that's their motto! The food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is fun, as Greek dancers dance the famous Sirtaki dance, and plates are smashed upon the floor to celebrate the end of another day if living! Join the dancers, smash a plate, or simply dine in a more quiet alcove at Vergina Restaurant in Gouvia. We are happy to award Vergina our HHC Magazine 5-star award.
HHC Magazine's pick of holiday activities
A cruise on board the Madalena with Captain Spiros (leaving from Gouvia and Ipsos). Choose from a number of different cruises on board the Madalena, from an all-day barbeque cruise to a Corfu at Night cruise. The truth is that Captain Spiros has been getting rave reviews for years, and yet the prices remain very affordable. It is a great way to spend a day or evening of your holiday, and children are always welcome. Complimentary drinks are served on board, and Captain Spiros's stories will have you in stitches. HHC Magazine is happy to award Captain Spiros and the Madalena cruises its 5-star award.
2001 Water Sports Extravaganza in Dassia is the very reason God made beaches. Whether you choose to paraglide, to take a ride on the Big Banana, or water ski, the crew at 2001 Water Sports will see to a fun and safe experience for you. 2001 is located on Dassia Beach at the back of the Hotel Chandris in Dassia. HHC presents 2001 with its 5-star award.
HHC Magazine's pick of best bars
Irish Knights in Gouvia offers live entertainment nearly every night of the week in summer. Open all day long, but the fun usually starts after 10:00. Enjoy singers, bands, magicians and hypnotists, and all your favourite sporting events on 4 big screen TVs!
GnM's in Kontokali is legendary for late night fun. A great DJ spins the tunes, and owner Miltos dances over fire to the delight of patrons. The atmosphere is always right for late night fun, and HHC Magazine has no choice but to give our 5-star award to GnM's.
