A wonderful oasis
This hotel was a real find.
We stayed as a family of 4 for 3 nights in a heatwave in August. There'd been a last minute change to our plans and there weren't any standard rooms left so we ended up with a suite, which the kids loved, having their own room and bathroom, with an interconnecting hall area. Our room was huge! A standard room would have been more than enough, though, for our family. There were insect screens on the doors but they weren't necessary as there were no mosquitoes.
From the moment of arrival all the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, giving us tips on where to go and when, advising us where to park, etc
The breakfast was awesome, with lots of space.
The food in the Taverna restaurant was lovely, with lots of extras on the house, the setting fabulous, and the sunset view across the hills magical!
It really was an oasis. The pool was very large, much bigger than it appeared in the weibsite photos, and very deep. I think deep pools without a real shallow end may be a Greek thing. They did provide some plastic rings for less confident swimmers. There is a nice bar area and seats at one end, and loads of loungers with parasols around the sides and up a terraced area at the back. The whole is set in an orchard of fruit trees.
The ruins were attractively landscaped, with trees and shade. I also enjoyed the 2 museums on the same ticket, especially the Museum of the Olympic Games in Antiquity. Go early (8am) to avoid tour bus groups and heat!
