Ktimenia Pet-friendly Holidays

Nice hotel, in a trendy area. Overall good.

We had the absolute privilege of staying at Bellevalia Hydra, and it exceeded every expectation. The location is simply breathtaking, the rooms are beautifully designed, the views are spectacular, and the food is exceptional. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is its incredible staff. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every member of staff went above and beyond to make our stay genuinely unforgettable. It’s almost impossible to single people out because every single person was outstanding, but a special thank you must go to Anna, who went out of her way to make our stay extra special. Stephanous and his wonderful restaurant team, Sergio and Christos, delivered such incredible food and warm hospitality that we didn’t want to dine anywhere else on the island. Thank you also to Renata at reception, Anthony and Paulos at the bar, Alessio, who found us the perfect spot on the beach every day, and Jacob, our friendly water taxi guide, whose warm welcome always put a smile on our faces. Bellevalia Hydra is so much more than a beautiful hotel, it’s a place where genuine hospitality makes you feel completely at home. We leave with wonderful memories and can’t wait to return.

My stay at Anthology of Athens was fabulous, albeit too short. The hotel manager, front of house staff, restaurant employees, spa and housekeeping staff were all amazing and incredibly welcoming and helpful. I was travelling alone but did not feel lonely as there was always someone stopping and chatting. The Botany Restaurant was outstanding and my spa treatments were very relaxing. I would highly recommend this stunning boutique hotel.

Great food, exclusive Grecotel only location, amazing water park, the best beach ever. Excellent al-la-carte restaurants with stunning views. Same as at Costa Botanica, it never feels too busy - you can always find a sun bed, limited queuing for drinks at the beach bar, water park with minimal queues on slides. Water activities run by a lovely family at the beach were great fun. Water temperature was perfect both in the pools and in the sea. The beach is cleaned daily so no sea weed at all. Kids loved to play near the natural springs on the beach in the sand to create rivers running down to the sea. Staff was friendly throughout. Room felt dated and some facilities are in need of upgrading which can be excused given how grant the place as a whole feels. The bed was very creaky which was a nuisance with the kids in the family room. Beach bar opens at 11am while 10.30am would have fitted better with our schedule. This is our 2nd time at a Grecotel after visiting Costa Botanica. We highly recommend both places for a family holiday with primary school children. We travelled from the UK to Zakinthos and took Levante Ferries over to Kyllini. While overall a longer journey than flying to Kalamata, the ferry is a nice experience with short taxi rides either end which avoids a long car/coach transfer.
