We love —
- Waking up with the Aegean on one side and vineyards stretching into montane forests on the other.
- Starting the day at Athos with breakfast, wandering to Pefko's for fresh seafood, and ending evenings at Marina Piazza overlooking the marina.
- Having an 18-hole golf course, Thalassotherapy spa, and private Blue Flag beach all within walking distance of the rooms.
