Excellent Stay and Helpful Staff!
accommodating staff convenient taxi comfortable bed
The staff was very accommodating, and the spa staff were quite helpful. The pool provided a very cute experience after long walks to the Acropolis in the heat. Taxis to the main site cost only €6, a convenient option. The rooms were large and included comfortable beds. The cleaning staff were efficient and friendly.
I felt the room was dark. It didn't have the bright and airy feel of the white Greek backdrop and the Acropolis view I was expecting.
