We absolutely loved this fabulous family run small boutique hotel. Perfect quiet location a short walk from the centre of Patitiri with outstanding sea views. We were greeted warmly by the lovely Maria on arrival with a welcoming glass of their home-made lemonade with lemons from the tree in the courtyard planted by her grandfather many years ago. She then told us about the best places to visit and recommended a number of restaurants. We had booked a standard double room with sea view but as the hotel was quiet, we were delighted to be given an upgrade to a super one-bedroom suite with sea view which had a large living room, separate bedroom, well equipped en suite with lots of hot water, good water pressure and lovely toiletries plus a great balcony overlooking the terraces down to the sea. The huge double bed was so comfy and we slept really well. The slippers and bath robes in the room were most welcome as was the large efficient fridge for cold drinks together with daily glass bottles of filtered water provided fitting with the Eco theme so we didn’t need to buy plastic bottles of water. I had also contacted the hotel before we arrived to enquire if they had decaff coffee available and Maria had put a small jar in the room especially for me! Daily cleaning and regular changing of towels and bed linen and everywhere was spotless. The breakfast at Ikion was the best we have ever had. To save waste, there is no buffet but everything is prepared freshly to order with home-made or local products and you can choose as much as you want, what time you want it and where to eat it. We enjoyed a substantial breakfast of fresh juices, a choice of coffees, muesli with yoghurt, fruit and honey, pancakes, fresh bread with home-made jams and delicious home-made cake and freshly baked cheese pie and spinach and herb pies, which we saved for later as they were enormous. Maria was always cheerful, keen to know where we had been each day and so helpful particularly when we wanted to hire e-bikes. She was very tolerant of me practising my Greek (which isn’t that good)! We had an amazing time at the Ikion and on Alonnisos, which is a beautiful unspoilt quiet island, and we really didn’t want to leave. The parting gift from Maria of a pretty little bag of fresh sage was a lovely gesture. Eυχαριστώ πολύ
