ACCOMMODATION
Staying in the modern town is not particularly enticing, but given the quick visitor turnover and over twenty
hotels
and
pensions
, finding a vacancy should present few problems. To take advantage of the town's position, ask for a room with a
view. Most hotels here, as throughout Greece, now have wi-fi. As an alternative to overly touristy Dhelfí or Aráhova,
Galaxídhi, just down on the sea (see p. 000), is highly recommended, if you have your own transport. There are two notable
campsites
in the immediate area, both of them just west of Dhelfí.

On the quietest, lowest street of the village, with
unbeatable views out back over the Plistós Gorge, this
hotel's rooms feature marble dresser tops, and there are
three attic rooms with fireplace. The small bathrooms are a
weak point; it's also a g
ood
idea to book a triple as a double.
Good buffet breakfast.
