Papaevangelou Hotel  

Tucked in the mountain village of Papigo in Zagori, Papaevangelou Hotel is a short drive from the Papingo Rock Pools and the WWF Information Centre. Use it as a base to explore Vikos Gorge, nearby bridges and historic monasteries.

Just 10 guestrooms blend simple comfort with useful extras — refrigerators, plasma/flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms with tubs or showers, hair dryers and complimentary toiletries. Some rooms offer kitchenettes or DVD players; daily housekeeping, a sun terrace and a lobby fireplace add to the cozy, slightly romantic vibe.

Complimentary wireless internet, a garden and terrace, plus a sun terrace and lobby fireplace set the scene. There’s an on-site bar/lounge for evening drinks and free self-parking for guests who arrive by car.

Luggage storage and a safe-deposit box at the front desk. Free self-parking is available; note the front desk is staffed during limited hours.

Continental breakfast is available daily, and some listings note it’s complimentary. Wrap up the day with a drink in the hotel bar/lounge, or wander out to nearby spots like Astra Restaurant and Astraka Snack Bar for local souvlaki and steaks.
