Established in 1986 the Galini Hotel has been welcoming guests from all over the world for over 30 years. Its location is perfection, hidden down a quiet lane surrounded by a huge variety of trees, shrubs and flowers the hotel is peaceful yet so close to all of the wonderful amenities that the ever popular resort of Skala Eressos has to offer.
This is a family run hotel and it shows.
Fani (the current owner) and the hotel receive great reviews on both TripAdvisor and Booking.com. It has a reputation for its friendliness, cleanliness and home-made Greek breakfasts. People love the location of this place too, minutes away from the shops, bars, tavernas, cinema and of course, the stunning beach and crystal clear waters of Skala Eressos.
There is a high percentage of returning visitors to the hotel as well as new custom annually. Due to the bird-watching fraternity the season starts earlier than most with tourists from all over the world flocking to spot rare and unusual birds migrating. The season is also extended well into late September as a result of the annual International Women’s Festival which has been taking place for over 20 years offering local businesses a very busy 2 week period.
The owner is continually updating and developing the business however there is room for improvement; some of the furniture is a little dated and will eventually need replacing.
The hotel is fully operational and the current owner is willing to offer much in the way of support, information and guidance during a negotiated handover period with the new owner/s.
