Review of Hotel Erikousa
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 31, 2018
My husband and I chose this hotel to get married: everything was perfect. The rooms are first-class furnished, new and with an amazing sea-view.
The staff is kind and helpful and the food (typical greek) is delicious.
If you are dreaming a holiday in a paradise island, this is the right place to go!!

We arrived on Erikousa island on the first full day of our trip to Europe in July this year. We arrived by catamaran with another couple just after lunchtime. We set anchor just off the island and swam for a while in the beautiful blue waters of the Mediterranean. We then motored to the main harbour.

After mooring, the boys went ashore to look around. It was hot and it didn't take us long to realise that the nicest place to be was having a beer in the Erikousa Hotel. One became a few. After a while, we were joined by our wives. As the evening approached, we realised that this would be the right place for dinner, so we booked a table with one of the owners of the hotel, George, before going back to the boat.

That night, we arrived back at the hotel and were greeted by George. He told us that their fishermen had caught a very special fish that day. They had sold half of it to another table but he wanted to know whether we would be interested in having the other half. To help us make the decision, we were taken into the kitchen where we met George's mother. As we understood it, George and his mother own the hotel with Tony and his wife. We also met Tony's wife in the kitchen. The meal that they were proposing was explained to us. Basically, they would make a pasta from the fish. It sounded just fine to us.

That took care of the main course. As an entree, we ordered an octopus salad.

In short, the food was extraordinary. The octopus was the best any of us had ever tasted. George or Tony (by this stage, I wasn't being overly observant) explained to us how they prepare the octopus to be as tender and tasty as possible. It worked. It was absolutely delicious.

We didn't think it could get much better than that but we were wrong. The pasta that had been promised surpassed all expectations. We all agreed quite seriously that it was the best pasta that we had ever eaten. Pasta may seem like a strange thing to eat in Greece but there is a very strong Italian influence in the Ionian islands. In fact Tony and his wife are Italian.

Towards the end of the meal I commented on George's T-shirt, which was clearly a promotional T-shirt for Erikousa Island. He told us that it was a prototype and that the main order would be delivered shortly. But he said not to worry about that because I could have this one! I made all the right noises of objection, but George would have none of it. 10 minutes later, George walks back into the restaurant wearing a different shirt carrying the T-shirt in question folded up. He gave it to me with so much pleasure that I couldn't refuse it, even if I had wanted to.

George and Tony are very different people but they complement each other well. George is gregarious and outgoing. He kept us constantly amused with his frequent, but never intrusive, banter. Tony is more reserved, but we soon discovered his dry sense of humour and his genuine warmth and hospitality.

My only regret is that I have taken so long to write this review. George and Tony, I hope you read it and realise that our night in Erikousa was the best night of our five-week European holiday. You set a standard that was never exceeded.

I still wear the T-shirt with very fond memories. But when the T-shirt is long gone, I think I will still feel connected with Erikousa, that small island in the northern Ionian waters.

The hotel is located on a beach about 150meters from waters edge. A great bar and
restaurant is located on the ground floor which is also a meeting place for friends and families.Our room was on the 2nd fl. with a great view of the harbor and the visiting
yachts off shore.The room was spotless and air conditioned.
The service at the bar and restaurant was friendly and the food was excellent.

Not sure where to begin with the delights of this hotel on the wonderfully unspoiled island of Erikousa having just returned from an amazing 3 day stay. As with other reviewers we had travelled on day excursions from Sidari for the past 2 years but 4 to 5 hours is really not enough time to explore this gem of an island. Making contact with the proprietor and thoroughly charming George via the hotel website back in March, he has done everything, and some to ensure that we were able to stay longer and tick this off our bucket list. Our journey meant travelling to San Stefano early morning on a Monday to catch the Pigosus ferry (the ferry and tour boat from Sidari doesn’t do the extra Monday trip until peak season) and arriving at the hotel early Monday morning. Our room was immaculately clean with air conditioning, although in June you don’t need it as much, a lovely bathroom with shower and outside terrace overlooking the bay. The hotel is friendly and slow paced and the staff are charming and attentive, the food is fresh and delicious! It is the perfect base for exploring this small island. There are few residents, a small shop, taverna, lots of goats and a beautiful beach, what more do you need? George even made the time to come and say goodbye as we were boarding the ferry return on Wednesday afternoon. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
