9.2/10 Wonderful! (44 reviews)

Directly across from some great beaches, close to airport (never heard noise from the planes), 5 minute drive to center of Mytilene. The hotel is very clean, well-kept and everyone is very pleasant. It’s a great accommodation for Mytilene. We’ll definitely be going back.
