Palea Poli

Picturesque Naoussa is technically only one hour from Thessoloniki, but it might as well be a world away. Instead of city lights you’ll see starry skies, and flowering orchards surround you. In the heart of this quaint and cozy town is Palea Poli, a boutique hotel with style to spare.

Property Details

The grandeur of Palea Poli is found where history meets luxury. Impeccably renovated, the 1900 silk factory makes a substantial statement at its location in the heart of Naoussa, a quaint town that offers a unique view of northern Greece, often hidden from the spotlight. The handsome building recalls a bygone era, and the refurbished interior draws guests even deeper into the nostalgia.

With WWII-era furnishings and a large, cozy fireplace, the first steps into the hotel take guests back in time to days of romantic heroism and national pride. Even younger guests will feel echoes of yesteryear and a deep connection to histories personal and global.

With only eight rooms, you can be sure that individual attention is in order. Each room is unique and full of texture. Wood and stone give the rooms a natural warmth, and vintage furnishings follow through on the hotel’s romantic aura.

Ker & Downey luxury travel consultants work to ensure that our guests are accommodated in choice rooms with the best amenities available. In many hotels one room stands out from the rest, and Palea Poli is no exception.

The third floor of the hotel houses a singular space known as “The Attic” with windows that open onto the roof and the same warm tones and simply elegant furnishings. It is here that the owners have placed valuable works of art and added extra touches throughout. The spacious bathroom includes a hydro-massage bathtub.

The hotel restaurant is awash in dark wood tones that seem to insist upon a crackling fire and a glass of wine. This intimate atmosphere is complimented by exquisite Mediterranean fare, which is meant to be slowly savored over the course of convivial conversation and warm laughter.

The restaurant also has a piano bar and a patio space known only as “The Back Yard” where guests can soak in the peaceful surrounds and the golden light of a summer evening.

The hotel is ideally located in the center of town, with easy access to the forests of Vermio for hiking, skiing, and otherwise enjoying the outdoors.
