Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed, not confirmed" appear on a public listing (OpenStreetMap, a tour operator or a booking site) but could not be confirmed on their own website. Most places are small family-run hotels, studios and rooms, and many open only from about May to October. Lefkimmi, Paramonas, Stavros, Sokraki and Old Perithia have very few beds, so book these early; small places often want cash.
