Daphni Monastery

okay i’m going to be completely honest because things like this require detail me and my boyfriend went for my birthday october 19th - 26 we had the upstairs orange room or whatever it’s easy to check in it’s not like a traditional hotel you very much have to read your emails to get the access code to get in. me and my bf had the solo room but if you go in the fall / winter october is cold at night so bring sweats and sweats and socks because they give you one duvet and one pillow and that’s it if you ask for another they give you another duvet but it’s just heavy cotton it’s not insulated so if you’re cold you have to either ask for another blanket or turn on the heat which is a tricky process. Also it’s shared restrooms and more than likely the upstairs bathroom will always be used the floors are really creaky so you will feel like a jerk just walking around your room. people use the bathroom with the door open or don’t lock the door so be aware of that people are very comfortable and often they talk loudly at night? it’s not the most comfortable experience buts its not expensive and the lady who runs it is very nice and she does laundry so bring a plastic bag big enough for your clothes and drop it’s off downstairs the night before you want it washed. She really good at getting your stuff done quickly and it feels good going home with clean clothes. Overall expect the community shared spaces to be used often and don’t feel bad for walking around your room. happy travels

Excellent Breakfast!
