Capetan Giorgantas is a small hotel on the harbour front in Adamas, and its main selling point is simple: you wake up beside the port and the restaurants of the waterfront. It is classed as two on the booking partner's scale and rated highly by guests, who praise the excellent location by the port, the great breakfast and the friendly, helpful staff. Some guest feedback mentions a swimming pool, which is a welcome extra at this price point, and a decor with nautical touches that suits the setting. Honest reviews also note that some rooms and fittings are due for updating, so expectations should be of a practical, budget-friendly stay rather than a design hotel. For many travellers that is exactly the point: you can step off the ferry, walk to your room, join an early boat tour from the harbour and eat dinner a few steps from your door. Buses, taxis and car hire are close, and a short drive leads to Plaka, Sarakiniko and the beaches. If you plan to spend most of your time out and about and want to keep costs low, the combination of location, breakfast and pool makes this a sound choice.
Rooms and noise
Because the hotel is by the port and surrounded by restaurants, evenings can be lively in summer, and early ferries and boat engines can be heard in the morning. Ask for a room away from the main road if you are sensitive to noise, and bring earplugs if necessary. Some rooms have balconies with a view of the harbour, which is atmospheric but louder.
What the location gives you
Adamas is the island's transport hub, and being so close to the port makes arrivals and departures easy, particularly if you travel by ferry with luggage. Boat departures for Kleftiko and other cruises often leave from the harbour area, and you can walk to the pick-up point. Supermarkets, pharmacies and banks are nearby, and the waterfront offers a good choice of restaurants and bars at various prices.
Who it suits
Budget travellers, solo guests, couples and groups of friends who want to be in the thick of things and who will spend little time in the room. It is also a good fit for visitors with a very early ferry or a late arrival. It is less suited to those seeking luxury, a quiet setting or a large pool and terrace.
Reserve early in high season, check the room category and confirm what is included, including breakfast, pool access and any local taxes payable on arrival. If you plan to hire a car, ask about parking, which can be limited in the town centre.
