Your price expectation is unreasonably low -- unless you're prepared
to stay in a dump.

You must be kidding, Alexander!

I always manage to find good to very good rooms between 20 (room) and 40
euro's (appartment).

Fortunately not all Greek entrepreneurs overvaluate and thus kill off the
number of visitors.

Cheers!

Back in 1999 I stayed three nights in Hotel Victoria. It is not in the old
part of town, and is in fact a pretty characterless modern building, but
conveniently and quietly situated. I would be happy to stay there again if
in the area. http://www.hotelvictoria.gr/

It all depends on one's personal standards, I suppose. I'm not a
student backpacker. I want to have the toilet in the room, and decent
location and amenities.

I traveled extensively throughout Greece last year. The cheapest place
I found was at a negotiated price of 35 euros a night, including
breakfast. But this was on the south coast of Crete, in the low
season. After we left that place, in the first week of May, the prices
doubled.

The next cheapest place was a so-so hotel next to the bus station in
Ioannina. That was 45 euros a night, not including breakfast.

We stayed in a very nice hotel in Aghios Nikolaos, Crete, for 70
euros, including breakfast (low season).

Medium-class hotels in Athens or Thessaloniki were in the range of 120
euros a night (breakfast included).

I imagine prices in Nafplio would be similar to those in a place like
Aghios Nikolaos.

Except in large towns I try to find 'rooms' rather than hotels. I mean the
kind of place advertised as 'domatia' without an entrance or reception desk,
usually maintained by the owners who live on or near the premises. These days
they almost always have a private bathroom. In May this year I often found
this kind of place for around 40 euros (possibly not in the more established
resorts though).

I still find that 'breakfast' is not a concept that is well understood in
Greece . All too often it is taken to mean a cup of instant coffee, a few
slices of yesterday's bread with some horrid little plastic packets of butter
and jam. I'd rather do without. For me the best of all is to have a room with
simple cooking facilities. Then I can brew my own coffee and supplement it
with something delicious from the local bakery.

Yes, 40 euros (or even less, depending on the season) sounds about
right for this type of accommodation. On the islands, the owners (or
their touts) often meet the ferries to offer such rooms. The quality,
however, in unpredictable. I remember an unfortunate experience we had
on Thassos, where the room had recently had a mattress fire (from a
guest smoking) and the air was nearly unbreathable. We moved to a
regular hotel the next morning.

I think staying in domatia is more feasible if one were to remain in
one location for, say, a week or so. That would allow you to move to
another place if you didn't like the first one.

Also, if you return to the same place year after year for a vacation
(as opposed to tourism), it makes sense to develop a relationship with
a domatia owner. Not only will you get the best price, but you'll get
the best treatment with regard to the facilities and services.

The variability of hotel breakfasts is one reason why I prefer to stay
in the slightly nicer category of hotels. Places like the Astor or
Cypria hotels in Athens, the ABC or Metropolitan in Thessaloniki, the
Theoxenia in Ouranoupolis, the Hermes in Aghios Nikolaos, etc., have
sumptuous breakfast buffets in spite of being rated as medium-class
hotels. But even in the inexpensive place I stayed in last year in
Aghia Galini, Crete, the breakfast was more than adequate.
