People using my website will notice that I have several hotel booking sites. This page will help you understand what they are, what they do and how to use them to research and book hotels all over Greece. The above photo is the Hotel Aegean Beach in Sounion
The first one is Hotelsofgreece.com which is a collection of almost all the hotels in Greece that can be booked by travel agencies, through the hotels themselves, or through Booking.com. What
I did was find the highest rated hotels in the best locations, putting the ones I recommend the highest at the top of each page and then listing them by category below. Most of the hotels received a rating of at least 9.0 with the ones at the top of the page with photos usually rating well above that while the ones below I did not include any hotel below 8.0 and most around 8.5. Some hotel ratings fluctuated but basically I just picked out the best hotels to make it easier for the reader to find a good hotel without having to look at crummy hotels too.

This site is basically a page that enables you to search all the hotels on Booking.com by location. No matter how you feel about Booking.com the fact is that whether you use it to book or not there is no better way to research hotels. Using their search options and filters you can narrow down choices
to find exactly what you want. Most hotels have dozens if not hundreds of reviews from people who have stayed there and loved it or even hated it. Each hotel has lots of photos and a map that not only shows you the location of the hotel but
also restaurants, shops, and other hotels or villas nearby. If a hotel you like is full they suggest similar hotels some not as well known but in many cases better than your original choice. Their cancellation policy is very reasonable, often free and most of the time you don't actually pay until you get to the hotel. See Matt's Search Hotels in Greece Page
This Greece Hotel Guide is made up of hotels that can be booked directly with the hotels themselves. If you don't want to use a Greek travel agent or you have discovered that many hotels on Booking.com don't have availability, then you can use this page to go directly to the hotel's booking system.
There are
many hotels that are not even on Booking.com and other hotel booking sites and there are a large number of villas and holiday homes as well. I made this page during covid when I had nothing better to do and so far the results have been disappointing. I think because the links go directly to the booking form and if you want more info and photos you have to click on some other links but hopefully people will figure it out.
See Matt's Book Greek Hotels Directly Page
Believe it or not long before there was an Air BnB there was Matt's Villas of Greece page where you could find not only villas but holiday homes, apartments in Athens, and even hotels with separate houses with kitchens. We started this page in the years before the 2004 Athens Olympics when we knew there was going
to be a shortage of hotel rooms. We never made any money (at least I didn't. Maybe my partners did but I never heard from them again). Anyway... Besides villas and houses there are also a number of self-catering properties, in other words they are like a hotel but the rooms, suites and apartments have a kitchen. If you are traveling as a family and getting several rooms at a hotel seems expensive then this is just as useful a site to you as it is to someone who is looking for a high end villa with a swimming
pool and dramatic views. See Matt's Villas of Greece
Of course when you consider the fact that you may be going to an island, or several islands, and you will need not only a place to stay but also ferry tickets, airline tickets, transportation from the airport or the ports to the hotels and back, tours and excursions and possibly a helping hand should things
not run as smoothly as you had hoped, the best thing to do is to work with a Greek travel agency. This makes planning a lot easier and takes the stress out of the trip since you have personal assistance every step of the way. Yes it is nice to be able to research and book hotels on-line but if you have any problems they won't be solved by Booking.com and if you are using your local travel agent he may not even be in the same time zone as you. The 3 primary travel agencies on my website are Fantasy Travel, Dolphin Hellas, and Aegean Thesaurus Travel have all worked with me for over 20 years and in my opinion
they are the best in Greece. Visit Matt's Recommended Travel Agencies
Some people traveling to Greece know what they want or at least have some idea. If you are one of those people and you were smart enough to answer multiple-choice questions in high school even if you blew it on the SATs then try my create
your own itinerary form which I have put together with the help of my friends at Fantasy Travel and Aegean Thesaurus. It's fun and a lot like making your own ice-cream sundae or a trip to the salad bar. Click on the islands you want to see and how many days you want to stay on each island, the category of hotels and other information and Fantasy will come back with a price. There
is no obligation to book. Visit Matt's Fantasy Travel Create an Itinerary Form or Matt's Aegean Thesaurus Create an Itinerary Form
So even though I have given you the tools to find the best hotels or other accomodations I am well aware that for some people it is all too much and they just want someone to do the work for them and just tell them what they should do. Sure you could ask some stranger on facebook or go next
door and ask the neighbor where they stayed when they went to Santorini, but maybe you want to be guided by someone who has a little more knowledge of hotels in Greece. What they used to call a professional. That is why I have created a page where you tell me pretty much what you need and I find a hotel that is suitable. But what is the catch? Why would I do your work and take up valuable time searching for hotels for you? The deal is that if I find hotels you like, that you book them through the
links I provide, which means that the hotel will actually give me a commission for sending them business. If that is OK with you see Please-Help-Me-Find-a-Hotel-Before-I-Lose-My-Mind.com

Remember that by booking hotels through my web site I get a small commission which enables me to continue my work providing free information to travelers, so please consider this before going off to see if you can find a better deal and save 3 euros. If you find a hotel on my page and then go to Tripadvisor to read reviews please come back to my web site to book. (I need the money more than Tripadvisor does. Plus I am a human.) By the way I prefer family run hotels, which are similar
to what we call BnB's so when you see the term "family run hotel" on my web site and you are looking for a BnB, you will probably be happy there.
You can find hotels in Greece by location, price, whether or not it has a swimming pool, and see photos and reviews by using Matt's Booking.com Hotel Search. Excellent prices and many hotels you can book and then cancel
with no cancellation fee. For those who want to book without using a travel agency this is the best way to do it and the small commission I make off your booking enables me to continue my work.
