Since the early ’90s
A winding path, a deluge of steps, and then the view
Between scented pines and weeping willows, the path climbs to Magic Hotel and the widest panorama over the bay of Agia Paraskevi.
A local family opened the hotel in the early 1990s and still runs it, with the same care for quality, attentive service, comfort and quiet. Three buildings share the hillside, set among gardens and stone terraces.
Couples come for a romantic escape, families for long summer holidays, and many simply keep coming back: year after year, some of them twice in the same summer.
The hillside
Every step up is a little more view
Magic Hotel climbs the slope in three buildings, so the higher rooms have the widest sea views, and the most steps to reach them.
Rooms on the lower floors are few. If walking is difficult for you, tell us when you book and we will give you priority for one of them.

Before you book
Good to know
Straight answers to the questions guests ask us most.
All questions and answersI have walking difficulties. Is the hotel suitable for me?
Please be aware that there are many steps at Magic Hotel: they are what give the higher floors their better sea views. We have a limited number of rooms on lower floors without too many steps, and we give them priority to guests who tell us about walking difficulties when they book. We can’t accept cancellations of a confirmed booking because a guest later decides there are too many steps.
How do I know my reservation is confirmed?
A booking is confirmed once the 30% deposit is paid and you have a confirmation number, from us or from one of our online booking partners.
Does the hotel offer full board?
No. Our rates are bed and breakfast, and half board is available subject to availability.
What is the minimum and maximum stay?
Depending on availability you can book from 1 to 28 nights, and there is no rule about the day of the week you arrive or leave.
How do I get to the hotel from the airport or the port?
Taxis are easy to find outside the airport on arrival; the journey takes about 15 minutes. From the port it takes about 10 minutes.
