Lock in a great price for Alianthos Beach Hotel - rated 8.6 by recent guests.

to get started.

Located right across the street from the beach, basic room but nice, big bathroom with shower, we really loved the buffet breakfast. Note that we stayed in an annex of the hotel (just 5m distance).

Ana, Romania

The hotel was clean and unexpectedly modern inside . The Staff were welcoming and very friendly. Choice at breakfast was huge and of good quality. Our room had a pleasant view to the sea and across the bay.

John, United Kingdom

This is the warmest friendliest place I have ever stayed in Greece. The staff are extremely kind and helpful and Petros the parrot who is at the reception will always put a smile on your face. I also must say the breakfast is the best I ever had in Greek hotels. We also had their buffet dinner(8euro!) few times and it was always so delicious. It's a place that makes you feel like home. We hope to come back soon♡

Excellent family-run hotel on seafront, easy walking distance to village centre (shops, restaurants, bars). All staff friendly and welcoming. Owner present much of the time. Rooms clean and comfortable. Beautiful sea views from upper rooms at front of hotel. Very good, extensive buffet for breakfast; also large and inexpensive (Eu 8pp) buffet evening meal with lots of options for meat eaters and vegetarians. Highly recommended.

Richard, United Kingdom

We've stayed here before and it was exactly the same great experience. Staff are really kind and helpful and there's nothing they won't do to help sort out any problems. Very family-run establishment which means they take more care. Rooms are very well cleaned - Sheets changed more regularly than most hotels. Right across the road from the beach (What's not to like about that?) where you can get a lounger and a member of the beach staff offered to bring us refreshments direct from the hotel a few steps away. Highly recommended. I'd definitely go to the hotel again.

El excelente recibimiento, cortesía y buen trato de las señoras encargadas de la recepción

Susana, Uruguay

Posizione ottima. Staff cordiale e molto disponibile. Se decidi di fare pranzo a buffet al costo di 8 euro a persona, hai incluso in tale prezzo anche i lettini e ombrellone nella spiaggia antistante. Il cibo ottimo specialmente le verdure stufate dell'orto. Bagno sufficientemente grande. Letti comodi.

눉Our room overlooked a small traffic island which meant we had to keep our window closed at night as the odd car or motorcycle negotiated it. But the air-con was efficient.
눇The hotel was clean and unexpectedly modern inside . The Staff were welcoming and very friendly. Choice at breakfast was huge and of good quality. Our room had a pleasant view to the sea and across the bay.

“Great experience as usual!”
- • Leisure trip

- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 11 nights
눉I think the food could improve. The breakfast is great - fresh fruit and everything you need to set you up for the day. The lunch and dinner all inclusive buffet while very well priced at 8 euros, didn't attract as much. The fish was dry and there was a sameness to it generally. However, there were Tavernas all over the town which meant that there was plenty of choice elsewhere. If they improved on the food in the evenings I would have eaten there more often. Personally re: my own sensitivities I didn't like the rubber pillows which gave me neck-ache last time because of no give. This time I bought one of my own soft ones to solve the problem.
