When one of our taxi driver friends learnt of our plans to return to Elena Village somebody said “Ah, you’re going home then?”
Despite it being early into the (already shortened ) 2021 season the Elena was waiting in it’s elegant splendour as expected.
We have been accommodated in one of the prime sea view apartments adjacent to the reception.
The maids operate with “Popi Power” and the are truly the best ambassadors that The hotel could wish for. Yes this hotel has modified things due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation but there are many common sense solutions in place.

A couple of days after checking in we were elevated to the Glitterati by the arrival of TV personalities in the FTM of singer Despina Vandi and chef Vasilis Kallidis.
After the humdrum of lockdown it was quite special to be near this happening.
This is a very special locale being next to the spectacular climbing trails such as Gran Grotto and Spartacus,and a short walk into the hustle and bustle of Massouri square. Also located adjacent to the local bus station for a short ride into Pothia.
Great staff.
Great views across to The Princess of Telendos and neighbouring Leros Island.
So in all a base for all reasons-Activities,Beach, Climbing,Dining, Exercise,Fishing,Generous Hospitality,Idle retreat,Just chilling out, watching the world float by in a variety of vessel’s from speedboats to super yachts-not to forget the Local Fishermen.
