Hotel & Restaurant

You arrive as a guest,not a booking number

White Rose is run by the family that owns it. The people at reception are the same people in the kitchen and on the terrace, which is the whole reason the place works the way it does.

There are fourteen rooms, all of them furnished differently, all of them with a balcony. The beach is twenty-five metres from the door and Mount Olympus starts twelve kilometres inland.

Meteora

Six monasteries built on top of sandstone pillars, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most important monastic community in Greece after Mount Athos. Around two hours each way, so it is worth leaving early.

Short guides to the beach outside the door and the two places most of our guests end up driving to.

Katerini is a few minutes inland for the supermarkets and the buses. Everything else worth seeing is a morning in the car.
