The Aegean village atmosphere prevails in this delightful hotel which offers a high standard of accommodation in a tranquil setting. The bungalow complex also comprises a 24-hour reception and a garage. For younger guests there is a children's playground and kids' club. Internet access and room and laundry services are also provided.The bungalows are scattered around the colourful garden and come with a bath/shower, WC, hairdryer, direct-dial telephone, ceiling fan and individually regulated air conditioning and heating.
