Cavo Marelia

Absolutely amazing! Newly refurbished small hotel with astonishing views, beautiful infinity pool with the most comfortable sunbeds, sandy beach few meters away, breakfast with a large variety of options for everybody ( I am vegan), also very good menu for lunch or dinner in the hotel on a very nice terrace. Staff very friendly, non-pushy and always ready to help. Congratulations to the designer for a very good choice of colours and furniture. Absolutely satisfied, the best vacation possible, will come again for sure!

The most amazing place for the money, the staff is sooo lovely and sweet. Its just off the beach and there is some amazingly beautiful beaches here within walking distance 1-10min depending on what you want, peppel, sand, rocks . There will always be more luxurious places to stay but this is familiar, quiet, neat and clean. You always feel welcome. We got a double room on the ground level next to the restaurant with grape wines covering the outside, perfect view of the ocean and a garden of olives just outside. spacious rooms a perfectly adequate breakfast. New beach towel whenever you need and AC all the time. It’s a harsh terrain so don’t expect rainforest climate but it’s a beautiful and dramatic scenery. I would recommend it to travelers who want to enjoy the beauty of nature. 15 min to pigalia w taxi 15 € but there are some restaurants on the beautiful walkway along the coastline and on the beach so you don’t have to leave the area unless you want some more buzz. It’s a perfect Family vaccinations with small kids Teenagers a bit boring unless you travel with friends, couples would love it. We were here over midsummer so still a bit slow but easy to get sunbeds at the beaches and no trouble at all getting lunch or dinner. Sunbeds are a bit expensive at the top beach ( sand and real comfy beds) 30€ a day (2 beds & umbrella & water) but you can get them for 15€ or just lay down your blanket for free. I think the snorkeling is best north of amoopi at the pebbles beaches ( small and cozy) at this time we were all alone in one of the bays Amazing!! Rent a car or Vespa to get your self around the island if you get bored it’s very cheap and worth it. The food is actually really good but be aware that it’s a lot you should always share!!!! ( if you’re a scandi) I don’t know how many times we had to take a doggie bag 😂

We recently had the BEST stay at Argo Hotel on Karpathos! Perfect combination of being cosy and family run with the professional flair of being years in the business. Great breakfast, idyllic location
