"This is a very nice hotel, set in the port area but walkable to the city centre. Alternatively there is a free shuttle to the city centre several times a day (with free returns too). The room was really stylish and modern, with dressing gowns and slippers for each guest. The pool on the roof was really nice. Not heated but that was fine in the Grecian sun! The breakfast was really nice and there were plenty of options. The drinks in the roof or lobby bar are really expensive, but otherwise it’s a nice place to hang out. It could be improved by having chairs on the balcony."
