Hotel La Luna

Frommer's Review

This small hotel is a block in from taverna-lined, touristy Orfeos, nestled between two churches in a calm residential neighborhood (but near the clock tower!). It features a large shaded garden with a bar and breakfast tables. Looking at the clean, modest rooms, all without toilet or tub, you may wonder why this is a prime spot in Old Town, patronized by various celebrities The answer is charm, which the ancient Greek poets knew to be capricious and inscrutable. It also has a lot to do with the private 300-year-old Turkish bath, which more than makes up for the one you don't have in your room. This is a place for visitors who want and respect quiet; blast your radio or make a ruckus, and you'll be asked to leave. Our favorite double is room no. 2 Just beyond the encircling walls of La Luna is a fascinating archaeological site encompassing two ancient churches, a traditional Turkish residence and garden, a Byzantine monastery, and more, making this a particularly intriguing corner of Old Town in which to base yourself.
