Dimosthenis

We chose Goumenissa to stay while visiting the archaeological sites of Vergina and Pella. It is a delightful little town with an idyllic main square shaded by ancient plane trees with busy tavernas and bars. The town was particularly busy because of the elections. We stayed in the Dimosthenis Hotel, less than two or three minutes walk from the square. We stay in many hotels across Europe and the Dimosthenis is a rare gem of a find. It is a delightful small hotel. We planned to stay for two nights and extended our stay to three nights, because we enjoyed the hotel and town so much. We will remember our stay there with fondness for a long time. The Dimosthenis is run by Maria, a charming member of the family that own the hotel, who is welcoming and gave us lots of advice about the area. We had booked by phone and Maria had chosen for us a large comfortable room with a balcony. The room was spotlessly clean. A good breakfast is provided, including eggs cooked as you want. In the hotel there is also a comfortable sitting area. One may say that many hotels provide all these amenities, which is true, but the Dimosthenis also had charm, which is what made our stay there memorable.
