Elena Mavridis

Elena Mavridis – First Immersion in Greece in 2009 My journey to Greece began with an unexpected gift of fate. As a philology student, I won a grant for a summer language program in Athens. What was planned as a three-month academic adventure completely transformed my life. Stepping onto the land of Hellas, I felt an inexplicable thrill – as if my soul recognized the place where it was destined to flourish. After completing the program, I made an impulsive decision to stay for another six months, working as a translator for a small tourism company. Every weekend, I dedicated to exploring new corners of the country – from the majestic ruins of Peloponnese to the secluded beaches of the Cyclades. For over 16 years now, I've been working as a Greece expert, creating unique journeys that reveal the authentic soul of this ancient land. I live between Athens and the island of Naxos, constantly expanding the map of my Greek discoveries. Greece is an amazing world where myths come alive in every stone, and history breathes in modernity. Greeks are incredibly open people for whom philoxenia (love for guests) is not just a tradition but a way of life. Over these years, I have developed more than a thousand personalized itineraries for travelers from around the world, created a popular podcast about Greece's hidden treasures, published an illustrated guide to Greek regional cuisines, and collaborate with leading travel magazines as an expert on authentic Greek destinations.

Hotels in Kos Island

As I’ve already mentioned several times, it was the hotel’s beauty and excellent reviews that determined our choice of Kos Island.

The hotel that made such a great impression on us was called Sensimar Michelangelo resort & spa. I recommend clicking the following link to see the excellent reviews and photos yourself.

Michelangelo resort & spa is a 5 star luxury hotel. It offers wonderful spacious rooms with beautiful design and very comfortable beds. You can enjoy magnificent views of the sea and the pool. I highly recommend booking a room in the hotel’s first row with view both of the sea and the infinity pool.

The hotel has a wonderful infinity pool and it will be really enjoyable to swim and relaxing there day and night.

The hotel offers excellent service. We chose a half board room and were very satisfied both with breakfast and supper.

The whole hotel territory is full of relaxing and romantic atmosphere. Michelangelo resort & spa is being promoted as a hotel for adults only. But as far as I understood, they will not make you check out if you come with kids. We saw even two kids during our stay in the hotel.

One of the disadvantages of the hotel is a strong wind. Only when you feel it you will know what does “strong wind” means. Another disadvantage is a not so good beach covered with large pebbles changing to cobbles. Besides, the hotel is located in the centre of the town. But if you rent a car the last two disadvantages will not be a problem.

Of course, apart from “our hotel” Kos island offer the widest choice of absolutely new and luxury hotels. I think the reason is that over the last years there has been rapid growth of tourism on the island.
