Very nice and comfortable stay next to the beach

we stayed at hotel sophia for 7 days. The hotel is 5mins away to one of the most beautiful beaches on karpathos. the hotel has a very clean and big pool and a beautiful garden the owners are a family - you can litterally feel the difference to big hotel chains. there is a bar in the hotel that is open from 7-24:00 every day that serves cocktails, coffee and cold drinks. we had a tap for one week and had coffee twice every day (the coffee is really good: cappuchino, cappuchino freddo in the afternoon, or espresso freddo… the coffee card is huge!) and we almost every day had aperol or some kind of beer at the pool in the evening after dinner. beach: the beach next to the hotel is in 5mins walking distance. there are nice beachbeds - but be aware: if you want to have a place you have to get up early to reserve one „german style“ and you have to pay 12€ for (2 beachbeds) it at the beach cafe- but it was totally worth it- there was also a big beach umbrella at each beachbed! there is a cashier that comes by to collect the money for the beachbed throughout the day. then you can enjoy the most beautiful, bath tub warm tourquise water with sand beach! beach food: directly on the beach there is a cafe that serves really good coffee with a real barista: we had iced flat whites every day there. there are two restaurants basically on the beach where we had lunch every day: calypso and helios. pool: the hotel pool was big, clean and so refreshing especially in the evening to dip in before going to sleep to get a final cool down after a hot beach day! the pool was some footsteps away from the room. rooms: were nice and cleaned every day the bathroom is small and the shower will wet the whole bathroom- however we didnt care about that. the rooms have air condition wich needs to be pyed 6€ aday- but without it you will be like a chicken in the ofen. breakfast: I try to eat very healthy so it was a bit of ajustment. there is toast, ham cheese, eggs, butter, marmelade, greek yoghurt, müsli and some fruits and some cake everyday. what I wish was that there was more fruit selection/or different fruits everyday! there were for example delicious figs in the garden, but not a breakfast :) so one wish: more fruit at breakfast or more variation. the staff: so friendly-warm and a smile on their face all day - make you feel very welcome and happy. they make the deinks at the bar and the coffee with so much love that you can taste it :) thank you hotel sophia! also: we think that this can be a great place to come back with kids - there were some families with kids and the pool seems to be the perfect place to play for them all day with other children while the prents chill. thanks- we had a nice stay ps: try restaurant for seasons(not related to the big hotel chain) in the evening, it was the best during our stay in terms of vegetarian options. pps: since we needed a chill out holiday we didnt have a car- and difnt need one. everything you need is in walking distance.

Holidays

The hotel seems very clean, but 12 euro for two jaggermeister it's really too expensive... I surely don't advise to drink in the bar of the hotel. The air conditioned is not included in the room price, 6 euro per day.

Friendly family-run hotel in excellent location

The garden & pool make this an excellent choice in Amoopi, Karpathos. Two sisters run the hotel and they make you very welcome. One part of hotel offers newly-refurbished rooms whereas other has basic but adequate accommodation. A bar offering light refreshments is open til midnight and pool swimming til 8pm. Two beaches with quite different characteristics within easy 3-5min walk. Car hire to explore island is highly recommended.

A little paradise

Sophia is a very cozy and friendly hotel. We come back here year after year. And Sophia has become our summer-paradise. The hotel is run by the sisters Rita and Joanna, who are fantastic hosts. The standard rooms are basic, but with everything you need such as ac, balcony and fridge. They also have nice and renovated family rooms, as well as renovated superior rooms. The rooms are always spotlessly clean. The hotel also has a very nice and peaceful poolarea, with a lot of nice flowers, palms, olivetrees, limetrees and apricots. The sandy beach is wthin 3 minutes walking distance. All in all a very nice and peaceful hotel, with the most friendly hosts you can imagine. A perfect place to recharge for a couple of weeks.
