愛琴海海浪-燈塔飯店

Schöne Unterkunft, in der Nähe vom Ort Glossa. Zimmer sauber, groß mit traumhaftem Blick aufs Meer. Große Terrasse lädt zum Verweilen bei Sonnenuntergang ein. Handtücher wurden täglich gewechselt, auch wenn man diese nicht auf den Boden gelegt hatte. Hygieneartikel vorhanden, sowie Moskitonetze an jedem Fenster. Unser Zimmer verfügte sogar über zwei Klimaanlagen. Parkplätze im Hof vorhanden.

The whole thing from start to finish, was a mistake. We shouldn't have booked this hotel in the first place. First, it isn't as close to town as er thought, based on the description. You have to walk approx 1 mile up a steep hill to get to it from the port. Second, the owner's attitude was shocking to say the least. When we arrived, he insisted on seeing and photocopying our passports. Had no problem showing our passports, but I didn't wish to have them photocopied. I've been travelling all over the globe for years, never had such a peculiar request before. When I pointed that out to him, he said that's what the law says - when I asked evidende of such law, he was unable to produce any. He then claimed he is the president of some kind of local hotel owners club, which means nothing. I was trying to understand the reasoning for such behaviour. His response was that if we were criminals, then Police would like to know our details! What a nice way to welcome your guests, by implying they may be criminals! I explained storing a paper copy of my passport in his back office, wasn't a very secure way of handling personal data and I wasn't comfortable with it, but he wasn't listening. In the end he gave us a refund and we walked off. Thankfully, we found a place in the main Skopelos Town, which we ended up enjoying thoroughly, as Skopelos Town seemed to be a lot more civilised. We never returned to Glossa, nor we are planning to do so, ever again.
