Ninetta's Studios: Your Dream Poros, Greece Getaway Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the glorious, sun-drenched, feta-cheese-and-ouzo-fueled world of Ninetta's Studios: Your Dream Poros, Greece Getaway Awaits! Now, I’m not one for flowery prose or pretending everything's sunshine and rainbows—life's too short for that, right? But after a week (or maybe two, who's counting?) at Ninetta's…well, let's just say I'm seriously considering selling my apartment and becoming a permanent resident of Poros.
Let’s cut to the chase: Accessibility? Okay, I need a little rant. I've got a friend with mobility issues and, let's just say, accessibility in Greece can be… challenging. I wasn't personally testing it, but from what I saw, Ninetta's is pretty good. They've got an elevator, which is a Godsend. And while I wouldn't call the whole island “wheelchair accessible,” the staff at Ninetta's were incredibly helpful and proactive. They seemed to understand that accessibility extends beyond just ramps and elevators. They were ready and willing to actually make things work. Now, I didn't see any fully accessible restaurants on-site, but honestly, with the views from the pool with a view (more on that later), who needs to go anywhere else?
Wi-Fi, Internet and the Digital Nomad's Dilemma: Okay, this is where you digital nomads, like me, listen up. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And it actually works. I'm talking reliable, strong signal. I managed to video conference without a single stutter. There’s Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services—they've got your connectivity covered. And because some places lie (cough, cough, everywhere else), I have to scream from the rooftops about this one. Being able to work from that balcony overlooking the Aegean Sea with a coffee in hand and the occasional dip in the pool? Priceless.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax, and the Pursuit of Bliss.
Right, let's talk Zen. Because, listen, after wrestling with deadlines and that one client who just won't get off your back, you. need. this. The Spa isn’t huge, but they've got the essentials. The Sauna, Steamroom, are the ticket. I'm convinced the Foot bath alone is worth the price of admission. I swear, I could feel years of stress just melting away. They also have a Body scrub and Body wrap available. I didn't try them. I'm a dude. But they looked…relaxing.
Then there's the Swimming pool. Oh, the pool. This isn’t just a pool; this is the kind of pool you dream about. It’s sparkling, it’s clean, and it has that view…of the sea! The real sea! I swear, I spent half my time just staring out, as the sun set.
And the Gym/fitness center isn't too shabby either if you are a gym person. I was not so, I mostly just walked around Poros.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Stuff That Matters (Especially Now)
Okay, let's get real. We've all been living through a pandemic, so this stuff matters. Ninetta's is on it. They've got Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Rooms sanitized between stays. The staff wear masks, hand sanitizers are everywhere, and the whole place just feels clean. They do have a Hygiene certification, apparently. As in, the whole place feels like it's been scrubbed with angels wings. Honestly, I felt safer there than I do in my own apartment back home!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Feast for the Senses
Alright - the food. The MOST necessary experience I had. I’m not usually a buffet person…like ever. Breakfast [buffet] is a necessary evil, right? Wrong! Ninetta's buffet was actually pretty darn good. It had the usual suspects – scrambled eggs, bacon (thank you, lord!), pastries – but also amazing fresh fruit, local cheeses, and even some traditional Greek delicacies. They also offer Breakfast in room and Breakfast takeaway service, which is great for those lazy mornings when you just want to chill on your balcony.
There’s a Poolside bar, perfect for those afternoon cocktails. And Restaurants on site. It also offers Vegetarian restaurant. I'm not sure if I tried anything from there (because, bacon) but my partner seemed to like it.
But here's the real kicker. One night, I decided to splurge and order Room service [24-hour]. I’m not easily impressed by room service. But the food was amazing. I had the souvlaki (of course!), and it was the best I'd had all week. Hot, flavourful.. Perfect.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
This is where Ninetta's really shines. They've thought of everything. Air conditioning in public areas, Elevator (again, crucial!), Laundry service, Daily housekeeping, and a Concierge who actually knows stuff about the island.
The Little Things
- Check-in/out [express]: Super easy and quick!
- Front desk [24-hour]: Someone's always there to help.
- Cash withdrawal: Convenient.
- Gift/souvenir shop: Perfect for last-minute presents (or treating yourself)
- Safe dining setup: Staff always served with a smile.
For the Kids
I don’t have kids, nor do I want any, However they have Babysitting service as well as Family/child friendly options. I saw a few happy families during my stay.
Getting Around: Effortless Island Life
Car park [free of charge] and Car park [on-site]: Parking is easy (a rarity in Greece, let me tell you!). They also offer Airport transfer and Taxi service, making getting to and from the island a breeze.
The Rooms: Your Oasis of Comfort (with a View!)
Okay, let's talk about the rooms. They're not luxurious, but more than comfortable. Everything is clean and well-maintained. Wi-Fi [free], Air conditioning, mini-bar, Coffee/tea maker. The balcony, however, is the real star. I mean, the view! You could sit there for hours, just watching the boats go by.
I had the Additional toilet, the Bathrobes, the Hair dryer, the Free bottled water, the Shower, the Wake-up service (which I rarely used) and various others. It came along with the best thing, Window that opens.
The Imperfections (Because Let's Be Honest)
Okay, nothing is perfect! I did find one minor issue. The water pressure in the shower wasn’t the strongest. But honestly, it's Greece. That's like complaining about the sun being too bright. You just deal with it. I guess you could call it some of the quirkiness of the island, as far as experiences go.
Final Verdict and A Compelling Offer (because you deserve it!)
Look, if you're looking for a polished, generic hotel experience, you should look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a genuine, welcoming, and utterly charming getaway in a truly stunning location, Ninetta's Studios is the place to be.

Ninetta's Studios: A Greek Fiasco (But in a Good Way!) - My Chaotic Itinerary
(Disclaimer: May contain excessive exclamation points, questionable decisions, and copious amounts of feta. You've been warned!)
Day 1: Arrival, Adrenaline, and Accidental Awkward Ness
- Morning (ish): Flight landed in Athens. The airport was chaos. Pure, beautiful, Greek chaos. Found my luggage (miracle!), then stumbled onto the ferry to Poros. The sea! OMG, the sea! Blue, blue, blue. Nearly puked from the rocking. I'm not built for boats. Learned that the hard way.
- Mid-day: Arrived in Poros! Ninetta's Studios. Found it (thank God for Google Maps!)…and instantly, the first moment in the room was me being overwhelmed. It was tiny, but honestly? Gorgeous. Balcony overlooking the water. Sold. Met Ninetta. A whirlwind of hugs, kisses, and rapid-fire Greek I didn't understand a lick of. She's absolutely adorable.
- Afternoon: Wandered the town. Got completely lost five minutes later. Found a taverna. Ordered a Greek salad. Choked on a rogue olive pit. (Dramatic gasp). Seriously though, the salad was divine. Ate way too much. Fell into a food coma.
- Evening: Tried to have a "romantic" dinner alone. Ended up talking to a very persistent cat who kept demanding my souvlaki. Accidentally spilled red wine on my white linen pants. Cried a little. Laughed a lot. The people-watching was phenomenal, let's just say there were some questionable fashion choices.
Day 2: The Great Boat Trip Debacle & Feta-Fuelled Fury
- Morning: Had a HUGE breakfast. Seriously stuffed myself with yogurt, honey, and something that resembled a sugar-dusted donut. Spent an hour trying to figure out how to work the coffee machine. Success! (Victory dance).
- Mid-day: Boat trip! Sounds idyllic, right? WRONG. Seasick again! The rocking… the smell… It was rough. Found a tiny, deserted cove where I swear to god, I saw a mermaid or two (may have been the sheer exhaustion or seasickness talking). Snorkelling was a complete failure – goggles fogged up, swallowed half the ocean.
- Afternoon: Back in Poros, feeling like a soggy, sunburnt mess. Needed feta. Needed. Found a little deli and bought enough feta to feed a small Greek army. Ate it with my fingers. No regrets. It was creamy, salty perfection.
- Evening: Attempted a cooking class. It was so much fun! We learned to make spanakopita (spinach pie), and I accidentally set my apron on fire. The instructor laughed. I laughed. We bonded over a shared love of flour and explosions. Had an amazing meal. Fell asleep the second my head hit the pillow.
Day 3: Sunburn Salvation, and The Deep Dive of Deliciousness!
- Morning: Woke up… and then, the sunburn started. I felt like a lobster. Thank god for aloe vera. This is what happens when you’re too busy enjoying life and forget to reapply sunscreen!
- Mid-day: Beach day! Found a teeny beach, far away from anyone. Sunbathed (carefully!). Swam in the crystal-clear water. Spent at least an hour simply staring at the sea. Wow. Just wow.
- Afternoon: Dive into the BEST octopus I have ever eaten! Found a taverna. The Octopus! Honestly, the best I've ever! The octopus was expertly grilled. The flavors exploded in my mouth! I had another wine. I have found heaven! This place. It’s called… The Anchor! If you go to Poros you’ll find it.
- Evening: Found the little ice cream shop that everyone talked about. Ate two scoops. Maybe three. Walked along the harbor, listening to the waves. Felt a pang of sadness that my trip was almost over. This is what it means to be alive, right?
Day 4: Wrapping Up and the Great Escape
- Morning: One last glorious breakfast. Said goodbye to Ninetta (more hugs and Greek I still don't understand). Did a final walk around Poros. Took a million pictures.
- Mid-day: Ferry back to Athens. Looked back at Poros, wishing I could stay forever. Definitely going to come back.
- Afternoon: Athens airport again. The chaos!
- Evening: Flight home. Sitting on the plane, already dreaming of feta, sunshine, and the sweet, sweet chaos of Poros. This trip was EXACTLY what I needed.
Quirky Observations & Imperfections:
- I still can't pronounce most of the Greek words.
- My camera roll is filled with blurry photos of cats, the sea, and various plates of food.
- I packed way too many shoes and barely wore any of them.
- My tan is uneven.
- I’m already planning my return trip.
- I missed a hike. Couldn't find the right hiking spot.
- I was too shy to talk to some people I wanted to talk to.
Emotional Rollercoaster:
- Joy! Delight! Exasperation! Seasickness! Feta-fueled euphoria! Repeat!
- Moments of utter peace and tranquility.
- Moments of wanting to run back home. (Jetlag, you know?)
- The deep, genuine feeling of connection with a place and its people.
Opinionated Rants:
- Greek coffee is strong. VERY strong.
- The sunsets in Poros are not real. They look too good to be true.
- Leave your fancy clothes at home. Embrace the relaxed, beachy vibe.
- Try ALL the food. Seriously.
- Say yes to everything. Except maybe not the scary boat tours.
This, my friends, is Poros, through my admittedly flawed, but completely honest, lens. Go, get messy, get lost, eat ALL the feta, and have a trip you'll never forget. You're welcome.

Ninetta's Studios: Your Dream Poros Getaway...Or Maybe Not? (FAQ - With a Whole Lotta Honesty!)
Okay, so Ninetta's... What *is* it, exactly? Like, a hotel? A… well, what?
Alright, let's get this straight. Ninetta's is, in the simplest terms, a collection of studios. Think self-contained apartments, but with a serious dose of Poros charm. You're getting a bit of a DIY-vacation vibe, you know? Not a fancy-pants hotel with room service (thank goodness, honestly). More like… a place where you can *live* a bit, if you get my drift. Cook your own breakfast, lounge on your balcony, generally feel like you're actually *IN* Greece, not just observing it from behind a velvet rope.
But, be warned. Charm comes with a price. One time, I was trying to cook pasta, perfectly al dente, and my stove, bless its heart, decided that 'Off' was a suggestion, not a command. Burned my sauce, nearly set off the smoke alarm. Good times. Good times.
Location, location, location! Where exactly is Ninetta's? Is it easy to get around?
Okay, so picture this: you're basically in the heart of Poros Town. Which is a major plus. You're steps away from the waterfront, the tavernas, the shops… basically, everything that makes Poros the magical place it is. Finding the place is another story. It's tucked away, which is part of the charm... and sometimes, part of the panic. I spent a solid half-hour wandering around with my suitcase, convinced I'd stumbled into a parallel dimension.
Getting around? Walking is your best friend, especially around the town. The streets are narrow, winding, and utterly gorgeous. Taxis are available, but honestly, embrace the strolling. Do yourself a favor and bring comfortable shoes. I learned that the hard way. Blisters are not a good look with a sundress on. And definitely download Google Maps, because, trust me, you'll get lost. It's part of the adventure!
What's the vibe? Is it for families? Young couples? Lonely hermits with a penchant for ouzo?
The vibe at Ninetta's... It's relaxed. Really relaxed. Think classic Greek island life. Families? Sure. Couples? Absolutely. Lonely hermits? Probably thriving. It's the kind of place where you can wear your swimsuit all day, eat ice cream for dinner, and no one will bat an eye.
This is more of a “real life” kind of place. I saw everything from teens glued to their phones (sigh) to tiny grandmas doing their daily walk through the cobblestone streets. One of the best parts of this spot is that it is not a massive hotel chain, it's got a bit of character and that is very appealing to a wide variety of people.
Pro Tip: Leave your snobbery at home. Embrace the chaos. Embrace the imperfect. It's what makes it special.
So, the rooms. Tell me everything! Are they… clean? Modern? Do they have air conditioning?
Okay, the rooms. This is where things get… interesting. They're clean-ish. Let's say "clean-ish." Everything is functional. The studios are very nice, although you can see that this is not an over-the-top luxury destination. I was able to work easily from my room, and the internet was pretty reliable, which was key for me! Air conditioning is, yes, generally a thing (phew!). But, it feels like it's almost an after thought. It works! But it makes a lot of noise.
Don't expect sleek, minimalist perfection. Think more… *authentic*. You're in Greece! Embrace the slightly wonky charm. The bathroom might be tiny, there might be a few cracks in the wall, but you know what? The location makes up for it!
My biggest gripe? The pillows. They’re… not great. Thin, lumpy. Consider bringing your own pillow. Or just embrace the stiff neck as part of the experience.
Is there a balcony or patio? Because, hello, THAT'S ESSENTIAL.
Yes! Most studios have a balcony or a patio. It's a critical ingredient to paradise. And, they are awesome. Whether you get a view of the sea or see the lovely cobblestone streets, that's just a part of the charm. The balcony is where you'll enjoy your morning coffee, your evening wine, and contemplate life. It's where you make memories. It gets me right in the feels! This alone makes Ninetta's worth it. Seriously. My balcony was my sanctuary.
One time, I was on my balcony, sipping a glass of wine, and I saw this cat, just casually strolling along the ledge of the building across the street. It was the most quintessentially Greek thing I've ever witnessed. I was almost in tears.
What about the amenities? Like, do they have a pool? Wi-fi? A laundry service?
Okay, temper your expectations a little. Ninetta's isn't a resort. No pool. No fancy gym. No butler service. Wi-fi is generally available, but the range can be a bit… spotty. Think of it as a chance to disconnect, truly. Or just invest in a decent data plan for your phone.
Laundry service? Nope. But seriously, who needs laundry service when you're on an island? Embrace the hand washing in your sink and hanging your clothes on the clothesline (another charming aspect!).
My advice: Embrace the simplicity, or at least make sure you have clean underwear.
Is there a front desk? What if something goes wrong, are they accessible?
They do not have a front desk. You'll be given a code to get in, and sometimes you have to call someone to meet up for keys when you arrive. The staff are very friendly and helpful, but it is a bit of a more DIY experience.
I really was happy with the staff - they were so responsive and helpful! I was able to get ahold of them with every question that I had, and they always followed up. I would say that the staff is one of the biggest wins of Ninetta's!
