Contemporary, centrally-located property which lacks any traditional Greek character or atmosphere. Picturesque outlook includes a beach in front and a pretty harbour. Even though it is a 5-star hotel some extras are chargeable, including the sunbeds on the beach and indoor pool.
Interior areas are well-presented but lack the sophisticated touches expected of a 5-star with only a little greenery in the grounds.
