Archon Seaside Retreat

This is a wonderful hotel in a nice quiet area with a short two minute walk to Plaka Beach. We had a suite which was very comfortable with large rooms, including a small kitchen, although breakfast was served at a time of our choosing on our porch. The room was clean, spacious and easy to get in and out of. Our host, Christos, was super helpful with regards to the room, and he also made nice suggestions for things to do and places to eat. He also helped us get our rental car. I would highly recommend this hotel for a quiet, private place near a beautiful beach.

Nothing...

Beautiful property, friendly host and staff. We got great recommendations on where to eat and shop

It was further from the beach than I had hoped, and my husband was not able to walk there due to disability

What a brilliant stay! The villas are beautifully and cleverly designed. We loved the lovely view of the tidy garden and pool – and watching the sunset over the Mediterranean was a real treat. Even before we arrived, Christos sorted our transfers and answered our questions straight away. We felt right at home on arrival, and after a quick tour we were ready for our first dip. Plaka Beach is just a few hundred metres away, with neat beach cabins and a handy food truck nearby – no need to wander far. After checking out the local restaurants and enjoying a nightcap on the lovely veranda, we settled into the most comfortable beds and appreciated the peace and quiet. Christos prepared a perfect island breakfast with yoghurt, fruit and tasty local pastries. The kitchen was great for making an early coffee or a light lunch. The villa was cleaned every day, with fresh towels ready and waiting when we returned from the beach. Our stay at Archon was a highlight of our holiday, and we can’t wait to come back.

Occasionally the island breeze makes the beach a bit blustery, so the Villa pool was a lovely alternative – though it was still a touch chilly for a proper dip. Perhaps future upgrades could include a sustainable solar heating system to warm the water by a few degrees.

The location was fantastic. The property was beautiful. Fabulous staff.
