Kapetanakou Tower Hotel

Frommer's Review

This is a wonderful place to stay to get an idea of what it was like to live in a Maniote tower. (Noisy, for one thing: When the wind blows, or other guests walk on the wooden staircase, you know it!) One of the first of the traditional settlement hotels managed by the Greek National Tourism Organization, and now privately owned, the 180-year-old Kapetanakou Tower stands in a walled garden just off the main street in Areopoli. Some of the rooms have sleeping lofts, several have balconies or little patios, and most have colorful rag rugs and locally handmade weavings. The hotel serves breakfast, and it's only a 5-minute stroll to Areopoli's restaurants. The TV in the lobby is sometimes left on, but the manager will usually turn it down or off if you ask.
