Athena Beach

Athena Hotel is in a fantastic location, just across a small road from the beautiful pebbled beach, and surrounded by lots of lovely bars and restaurants. The staff are pleasant, welcoming, and always helpful throughout the stay. The rooms are clean, basic, and typically Greek in style. They are a little dated, but they have everything you need, including air conditioning and the option of a safe. The beds are slightly on the firm side, but the bedding is good quality and the pillows are comfortable. If you stay in the rooms above the reception area, it can be a little noisy early in the morning as deliveries sometimes start from around 6:30am, but it’s nothing too overwhelming. The breakfast is plentiful but quite basic. There’s bread, jams, butter, meats, a couple of cheeses, yogurt, peaches, honey, boiled eggs, and a choice of three cereals. Tea and coffee are available in abundance, although neither the drinks nor the juices are the best. This is probably the one area that could really be improved. Internet is pretty poor, I had to use mobile data most of the time. The pool area is clean and well kept, although it can get busy at times. Luckily, the sea is only moments away and absolutely beautiful. Overall, I would happily return and would definitely recommend this hotel. It offers great value, a brilliant location, and a lovely Greek holiday atmosphere — with breakfast being the only real tweak I’d make.
