Viglatoras is situated in Ano Poroia, a charming village at the foot of the mountains close to the border with Bulgaria, with sweeping views over Lake Kerkini. It was the birthplace of Stergios Kalessis, who after completing his studies chose to return to the village and turn the house where he grew up into a guesthouse.
Something happens to you when you arrive at Viglatoras, and Stergios and his wife Filly invite you into their cosy living room. It could be the genuine warmth in their welcome, or the roaring fireplace in the winter, or the pot of tea with freshly baked cake they’ll treat you to, or even simply their choice of music. But whatever it is, you instantly sense that you have come to a wonderful place and feel blissfully at home. Bliss continues once you see your bedroom. All rooms floor are done in an elegant traditional style, and manage to combine the intimate atmosphere typical of a guesthouse with the comfort you usually only find in luxurious hotels. Breakfast in a way offers that same combination, with the personal touches of Stergios and Filly who bring everything to your table, and the outstanding quality of the traditional pies, warm bread with marmalades, perfectly boiled eggs, home-baked cakes and fresh juice they will serve you.

* "One of the best"
Suite Pandora and Viglatoras were great: excellent reception by the owners of those hotels, very warm people, ready to help you and to advise you for anything.
Viglatoras: for me, one of the best. Very nice people, high quality of the reception, room very beautiful, food delicious. Located in a typical small village where the life seems good.
