What's your favorite mid-range hotel in Greece? Many independent trips in Greece include a variety of hotels, everything from luxury to a rented room above a taverna. But almost everyone ends up for a night or two in what could best be described as a mid-range hotel - not exactly cheap, not exactly expensive, hopefully just right in terms of amenities and location. For this award, hotels with a standard rate between $100 and $300 a night are ideal.
