“Awesome, everything was great!”
Clean. Friendly staff, especially Kostas, who went out of his way to help us with anything. The beach is right in front of the hotel and sunbeds were free to use, just order some coffee from the bar. Location is awesome, since you got the beach right outside and the city center is around 10 minutes away by foot. Hotel also has an elevator.
