Paralos Irini Mare

10/10 Excellent
"Rooms were large and clean. The staff were great and did all they could to make our stay memorable. The pool was great and the food was excellent, breakfast, lunch and dinner were all very well done. The only caveat to that was the Tomatini restaurant which to our surprise was a little disappointing. This part of the island flies under the radar and is an absolute gem."

"Spacious and well presented villa with amazing scenic views everywhere you look. So peaceful however only a short walk to the local village with a range of restaurants and shops. There is a steep road to the villa however we managed it in our small car with no issues. Perfect location for visiting the local area. Pool so refreshing. We had an amazing time and would happily return. Good communication with Annette."
