We are in a resort of considerable size, white architecture stepped down the slope, terraces cascading towards the pebble beach. The rooms are classic, private balconies, light wood furniture, beige marble bathrooms. The spa and the four pools (including an Olympic-sized one) justify the visit, especially off-season when occupancy drops. From 565 € per night, a coherent rate for a five-star of this scale in Greece. The beach is directly accessible, sun loungers and parasols provided, but the shoreline remains pebbly (pack water shoes).
