Chrisanthi Villas
Chrisanthi was an amazing host who made us feel extremely welcome at her villas. The location, view and actual villa were amazing and cleaned to an incredible standard - our young family couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks for an amazing stay Chrisanthi!

Aquila Atlantis Hotel
Stayed there in June 2025. Staff were fantastic. Hotel really good. Only thing I would have slightly criticised was the lack of water heating in the swimming pools. Still able to enjoy a swim, though. Otherwise, I couldn’t fault it at all.

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel
The breakfast buffet is amazing. We looked forward to it every morning. The quality and variety was outstanding. The staff made us feel welcome at every turn. The restaurant recommendations from Vicky were perfect. And the rooftop bar was romantic and a delight.
