Practical Info for Loutraki

Umbrellas on beach of LoutrakiI guess I should leave you with some practical info on Loutraki since this is supposed to be a travel guide. There are lots of hotels of various catagories and you can book these with George my work-a-holic friend at www.fantasytravelofgreece.com though because it is a resort area only known to Greeks and Greek-Americans there probably won't be any info on the website. But you can just use the contact form and they can find a hotel for you.

There are also some hotels at www.hotelsofgreece.com in the Peloponessos section. Of course if you have money to spare or someone else is paying for it, your first choice will be the 5-Star Hotel Club Casino Loutraki, right on the beach, with the best breakfast buffet in Greece. If it is full there is also the 5-star Poseidon Resort Hotel which is a whole complex on the sea on the outskirts of town. A step down are the 4-Star Paolo Hotel, the neoclassical Christina Maris, and the ellegant Hotel Karellion, all within walking distance of the beach and the casino. The Three Star Hotel Bakos is a traditional family-run hotel located 75 meters from the beach in the center of the spa-resort town. Two star hotels include the Hotel Marko and the Hotel Galaxy, both with very low rates regardless of the season. The Diolkos Studios provide spacious accommodation with balconies overlooking the sea next to the casino.

As for getting to Loutraki there are buses to and from Corinth that run every twenty minutes and there are 8 buses a day to and from Athens. The Proastiakos also runs from Venizelos Airport in Athens to Corinth and takes a little more than an hour. It connects with the metro so you can get just about anywhere in Athens.

You can also contact George The Famous Taxi Driver at www.greecetravel.com/taxi.

In Loutraki you can take cruises through the Corinth Canal on the Anna. Being a Greek resort town rather than a tourist town usually means that finding a good restaurant will not be a problem. Anyway I hope that is the case because the restaurants that George recommends don't want to be on the website because they are already too busy. But if you ask George he may tell you and if it is a Saturday night you may even see him there.
