Hotel Olga

For our trip to the northeastern part of the Pelion peninsula, situated on the eastern side of the Pelion mountains, we stayed at the delightful Hotel Olga in Mouresi. First things first we have to talk about Dimitris. He is the perfect host! From the moment we arrived until the morning we left he shared his local knowledge and made us feel totally welcome. Hotel Olga is a fantastic hotel. Dimitris has done a wonderful job of restoring this old house to an exceptionally high standard. Our bedroom led out onto the patio with a stunning view out over the Aegean Sea. We had our own little table and chairs outside the door but could make use of the outside area any time of day or night. Breakfast at Hotel Olga is exceptional. Every morning we were served with fresh home-made sweet and savoury pies and Greek treats. Yoghurt with fruit, croissants, home-made biscuits, meats and cheeses… It just kept coming. It was delicious, every day! A special mention has to go to the bed, which is probably the most comfortable I’ve slept in, in Greece ever! I think it was Coco-Mat; made in Greece The area around Pelion is mountainous and densely forested and a car is essential. All the roads are now passable following the storms last autumn, but in places it’s still very rough and the wooden army bridge across one of the sections of road washed away is still in place and quite hairy as you go across! We loved staying at Hotel Olga and will most certainly return
