Marina, the owner, really made this place special. She cared about how our stay was going, helped us arrange a rental car, and shared useful island tips. She’s a genuinely welcoming host, and we’ll definitely return. Our room had a beautiful sea view. The style is simple but comfortable, with practical things like a kettle, drinking water, a fridge, and a few dishes. It was spotless, and cleaned every day. The location is excellent.

Our favorite part was the mornings, chatting over breakfast. My daughter and I fell in love with the place, and with Ikaria. Greetings from Rhodes! The rooms have everything you need, with lovely finishes, great WI FI, a TV, and reliably hot water. Right in the centre of Therma, you can look out at the sea from the balcony and hear it day and night. The owner, k. Marina, was fantastic and helped us with everything, including car rental and information about the island.

A nice cove setting with a beach, a great view, and restaurants and a health spa nearby. The airport is only 20 minutes away. Marina is a very friendly, excellent hostess. It’s a great budget option for a couple vacationing in Ikaria.

The terrace gets morning sun and then shade in the afternoon and evening, which is welcome during hot summers and keeps the room from overheating. One small drawback is that the rooms aren’t very private, so you might hear other guests talking on the terrace from inside. That’s common in many Ikaria hotels and pensions, so it helps to know and settle into the local culture. We adored this little pension. The bay view from the terrace is gorgeous, and Marina and her friend were lovely hosts who made sure we felt at home and were enjoying ourselves. Our room was made up each morning, with fresh towels.
