My husband and I stayed at The Zorbas Apartments for four nights. Well, we should have stayed much longer. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, fully furnished and equipped. However, these were not the factors that made our stay unforgettable. Pelayia, herself was. Her organisational skills are amazing. She is cheerful, kind, very hardworking and meticulous. Moreover, she doesn't seem to force herself to be like that; it comes naturally to her. She gave us the warmest welcome, as well. Actually, I had anticipated that, as we the two nations call each other 'komşu (neighbour)'. Obviously, it was an understatement. We are definitely 'family' now dear Pelayia. You made the vacation an unprecedented experience. A million thanks sister! I know we will visit you again, and again and again. One last quote from my husband, "It was so hard to leave. If you follow my tears from the port to the left, you can find your way to The Zorbas."
We had a truly wonderful stay at this apartment hotel — one of those rare places that instantly feels like home. The room was beautifully decorated, clean, and modern, with thoughtful touches throughout. The location is perfect — right in the heart of Mytilene, close to lovely cafés, restaurants, and everything you might need. But what really stood out was the warm, welcoming atmosphere created by the host, Pelayia. She went above and beyond to help us with local recommendations, logistics, and anything we needed — always kind, generous, and professional. Beyond that, we genuinely connected with her on a personal level, which made our experience even more special. It’s hard to imagine a review that doesn’t reflect the spirit of this place, especially knowing how much care and heart goes into running it. For us, it was the perfect stay, and we would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!
If you're going to stay in Mytilene, Zorbas Apartments is the ONLY place to be. The host was incredibly warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We felt like family from the moment we arrived. The apartment was brand new, spotless, and decorated with impeccable taste – stylish, modern, and cozy all at once. Honestly, it felt like a 5-star boutique hotel hidden in the heart of Mytilene. Don't even bother looking elsewhere – Zorbas is a true gem. But be warned: you'll need to book in advance – this place is a treasure, and everyone wants in!
Everything was wonderful. There were plenty of options for eating and drinking within a 5-minute walk of our accommodation. We also chose Tsamakia Beach for a swim, which was also a short walk away. Our room was very clean and had everything we needed. The hotel owner, Pelayia, was very helpful and friendly. If we come again the island, we’ll prefer Zorbas again…
