"The property was in a wonderful location. It was so nice to escape for a week after first visiting Athens. It felt like a true getaway. The cove in the property was one of the best places we've ever swam in. Our room had a great view of the sunset from right outside our window. Within a 3 minute walking distance to the beach which also allowed for some great swims. When we didn't feel like going out of the property to eat, we were able to get a well cooked meal in the bar area. We'll definitely...

"Staff was excellent. Location was awesome, beach nearby and right on the ocean. The restaurant was amazing too. The pool does get affected by the restaurant but we spent our time mostly at the beach."

10/10 Excellent
"The property is located on a sandy beach with a beautiful view. The hotel is about 15 minutes taxi ride from the harbour and old town. The staff were helpful. I stayed two nights but a longer stay would have been relaxing. I booked a loft room which was in two floors and I never used the top floor because of the stairs so we were in the room downstairs and the set up of the room was in a way the handwash basin was in the room and not in the toilet so took some space."
