Elatohori Ski Center

This is a wonderful place in an amazing location. Just 5-10 minutes by car from the centre of the town, you're transported to a natural landscape with spectacular mountain and distant-sea views, feeling immediately renewed by breathing in the fresh air fragrant from the rosemary, oregano, sage and lavender shrubs, welcomed by the amazing manager Malik and his staff -- all polite, there to answer questions or suggest ideas for walks, terribly efficient - and a lovely swimming pool. The carefully put-together minimalist aesthetic of the private courtyards on both sides of the villas and of the interior space is beautiful and functional. The kitchenette is very well equipped (the espresso pods were delicious) - ideal for breakfast and snacks (easy shopping in the town). Beautiful and easy hikes further up the hill or down to the picturesque old village of Nikiti (don't miss visiting the bar and/or the restaurant there). A car is a must. The Nikiti beach is not terribly interesting but you can easily visit wonderful beaches and villages nearby. We loved Etheres so much though that we didn't feel the need to venture beyond it every day. Ideal for those who look for natural beauty, serenity, style, but also easy access to restaurants and beaches. I certainly hope to make it back.
