They provided a nice breakfast every morning when we requested it. They helped us carry our bags to and from the room. We also had a great view from our room. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend Hotel Sunny Villas. "

What beach activities should we do in Akrotiri?

The best beach activities to do in Akrotiri revolve around its distinctive volcanic beaches and the calm, clear waters of the Aegean Sea.
