This holiday resort, which is very popular with regular guests and families, can be booked on the German market as a Schauinsland-Reisen Original. Through continuous renovations in recent years, the established hotel has become a modern complex with stylish rooms and many amenities, without losing its typical Greek charm and familiar friendly service. The hotel consists of several buildings with a total of 140 rooms, which are spread throughout the well-maintained gardens. It features a reception area, a bar/à-la-carte gourmet bistro "Panorama" with an outdoor terrace offering magnificent views, a satellite TV corner, Wi-Fi (included), the main restaurant "Mediterranean," and the "Agora" boutique/mini-market. Also overlooking the sea, the outdoor area features a swimming pool, a separate children's pool with a sun terrace, and the "Aegean" pool bar. Refreshments are provided directly at the beach at the "Aura" lounge bar. Sun loungers and umbrellas are included at the pool and available for a fee at the beach. For AI guests, loungers and umbrellas at the beach (one set consisting of two loungers and one umbrella per room) are included. A set of beach towels is provided free of charge (free exchange every three days).
Since summer 2025, the newly designed beach area is available for even more relaxation and peaceful hours. The "Aura Beach Lounge" right on the beach awaits guests with two comfortable seating areas with shaded spots, including poufs, many plants, and atmospheric lighting. Additionally, various garden areas offer spaces for relaxation such as yoga and pilates, as well as the opportunity to watch movies and sports events under the open sky. Rounded off by renewed paths, showers, changing rooms, and comfortable sun loungers, the space right by the sea is the ideal feel-good place for young and old alike.
