Hotel Nostos, Ithaki Overview
Hotel Nostos is a 2-star hotel in Ithaki, Greece. Rated 10.0 out of 10 based on 3 guest reviews.
Hotel Nostos is a simple, budget-friendly base in Frikes, Ithaki, Greece, set at Frikes, Ithaki 283 00. It suits travelers who want a quiet island rhythm rather than a packed resort schedule, and the consistently high guest rating reflects how welcoming the stay feels for small groups and solo explorers. The day starts with free breakfast, a practical perk when you’re planning beach time and island drives, and free WiFi helps you keep in touch without hunting for a café. When you want to slow down, the terrace and garden give you outdoor space to read, chat, or cool off between outings. A seasonal outdoor pool adds an extra option for lazy afternoons, though it’s best thought of as a warm-weather bonus.
Guests commonly mention the calm atmosphere and the ease of settling in, with a few reviews highlighting how the hotel feels more personal than larger properties. The front desk has limited hours, so it’s wise to plan check-in within the stated window (from 3:00 PM to 11:30 PM) and confirm any late-arrival needs in advance. For added peace of mind, there’s a safe-deposit box available at the front desk.
From this Frikes address, you can reach Odysseus’ Palace in about 4 km for a classic Ithaki stop, while Frikes Beach is roughly 0.5–1 km away for an easy morning walk. If you’re looking to broaden your itinerary, Kioni Village is around 18 km and Vathy’s main town area is about 20 km, where you’ll find more choices for dining and evening strolls. Overall, Hotel Nostos is best for travelers who prioritize location on Ithaki and a straightforward, comfortable stay.
