Insider-Tipps
- ✨
Walk to Afitos for dinner instead of eating at the hotel every night; the village has some of Halkidiki's best food.
- ✨
The 'side sea view' rooms often have nearly as good a view as 'front sea view' due to the hotel's amphitheater shape.
- ✨
Ask for a 'to-go' breakfast box if you have an early flight or excursion; they are happy to oblige.
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The '150 steps' are not just steps; they are a steep, cardio-intensive workout.
💡The AC units in some standard rooms are bafflingly mounted to blast cold air right on your face while you sleep.
💡The beach below has a rocky shelf at the water line—it's not soft sand all the way in.
💡WiFi speed drops significantly the further you get from the reception/pool area.
💡The 'Adults Only' policy is strictly 16+, so you might still see older teens.
