Portiani Suites is a small hotel in Adamas that regularly ranks near the top for guest ratings, and it is easy to see why. Reviewers praise the large rooms, the excellent breakfast, the courteous and helpful staff and, above all, the location, which one guest group rated a perfect ten out of ten. Guest information mentions beachside rooms and a restaurant with a sea view, and its position in Adamas means you can walk to the harbour, the supermarkets, the car rental offices and the waterfront tavernas. The suites are designed with space and comfort in mind, which makes the property a good choice for couples who want a bit more room than a standard hotel offers, as well as for small families. Adamas is the practical heart of the island, with ferries, buses and boat departures for Kleftiko, Polyaigos and the south-coast beaches, and Plaka, Trypiti and Sarakiniko are a short drive away. For visitors who would rather not rely on a car for the whole stay, a base like this can simplify logistics, and the combination of a sea-view restaurant and a good breakfast adds to the ease.
Rooms
Expect larger-than-average rooms with a comfortable layout, and ask about room types when you reserve. Rooms nearer the water often have better views but may catch more evening noise from the waterfront, so request a quiet side if you are a light sleeper. If you are travelling with children, ask about family arrangements and extra beds.
Location advantages
Adamas has the island's main services, including pharmacies, banks, supermarkets and a range of restaurants and cafes, and it is the departure point for many boat trips. Being within walking distance of the port saves on transfer costs and makes early-morning departures simple. Taxis and buses are easy to find, and car hire is available in town for those who want to explore.
Who it suits
Couples and families who value space, a good breakfast and a convenient location, and travellers who want to combine a few days of beaches with boat trips and day tours. The trade-offs of being in the port include some background noise, ferry-time activity and a busier atmosphere than a village or a remote resort.
Reserve early for July and August and confirm what the rate includes, as well as what local taxes will be due on arrival. Ask whether there is a restaurant open for dinner, and whether the property can help with luggage on arrival and departure, since many travellers arrive by ferry at inconvenient hours.
