History of the building

The traditional hotel Ghermaniko is housed in one of the oldest buildings in the area, which has been intensively active throughout the last century.

The two-storey property was built around 1910, at a time when Damouhari, with its natural harbor, unique to the whole area, served as the supply station for Eastern Pelion. Its thorough refurbishment in 2018 (interior and exterior) respected totally the building’s unique architecture giving it a fresh tone of crispness and youth…

The perfect place for a quiet and unforgettable holiday. The rooms are cozy and fully functional, and the view from the rooms is spectacular, with the sea in front of your eyes. We count the days till we return. Thanks, Katerina and Victoria, for being the perfect hosts for us!

Paradise! This must be one of the best places that exist in Greece. I was actually really thinking about whether I should write a review for this place, since I wished that this would remain a secret only for my friends and family. This small hotel is run by an adorable family and it is located in one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The hotel and rooms are very stylish with all the necessary amenities, and the owner has managed to keep the originality that this place deserves. Thank you Katerina for letting us stay in your hotel, we had an amazing time and can’t wait to come again!

We had the most fantastic week at hotel Ghermaniko (one of the two buildings owned by the family). All of the rooms have been newly renovated to a very high standard and, those on the top floor where we stayed, enjoy views though the trees towards a small beach in the corner of the bay (see photo). Katerina and her family could not be more welcoming, we were greeted on arrival - in the middle of the night - and helped with our bags to the rooms. They even laid on some snacks and drinks. Everyday we were greeted by Victoria's husband and the lovely Victoria herself who could not be more friendly. Both myself and my family cannot recommend this beautiful hotel enough.

Ein ganz aussergewöhnlicher Ort, und eine ganz herzliche Gastgeberfamilie. Der Ort ist ein Fischerdorf in der kleinen Bucht, so besonders da ohne Autoverkehr. Es gibt nur Fusswege, und jetzt in der Nachsaison ist hier einfach Relax pur angesagt. Ein Feeling wie in Griechenland in der 1980ern.

Amazing location, clean rooms and super cozy. Katerina is an amazing host. Ask her for all the secret spots around 😉 If you want to go for a yoga session, ask her again. She is an amazing instructor. I strongly recommend to visit The place. Remember to taste Mushroom pie 🥧.
