Madares Hotel, Sfakia Overview
Madares Hotel is located in Sfakia, Greece. Rated 8.0 out of 10 based on 45 guest reviews.
Madares Hotel is a small, practical base in Sfakia, Greece, set on Loutro Sfakion street in the coastal area where day trips to beaches and hiking routes start early. With a guest rating of 8/10 from 45 reviews, it’s typically chosen for straightforward stays and a friendly, low-key atmosphere rather than for high-end facilities. The hotel’s express check-in and express check-out help keep arrivals and departures moving, and free WiFi is available for planning your next walk or gorge outing. If you’re traveling with a pet, the property’s pet-friendly policy is a clear plus for visitors who don’t want to leave companions behind. Breakfast is available for a surcharge, which suits travelers who prefer to start the day without needing to search for a café immediately.
The surrounding area is built for coastal exploration. Turkiko Kastro is about 0.3 km away, making it easy to fit a quick viewpoint stop into your schedule. Finikas Beach is roughly 1 km from the hotel, so a short stroll can turn into a full beach morning. For hikers, Samaria Gorge is about 15 km away, and many guests plan their itinerary around that major trek. Check-in is limited to 02:00 PM to 08:00 PM, and the front desk has limited hours, so it’s worth aligning your arrival time with those windows.
Madares Hotel is best for solo explorers and couples who want a calm, nature-focused stay near the coast, with the convenience of express procedures and the reassurance that pets are welcome.
