9.2/10 Wonderful! (200 reviews)
"Our second stay, room a little tired. The breakfast is very good, staff helpful and friendly. We loved the adults only pool. The only this that spoilt it was the penny pinching attitude to in-room drinks; charging €1 each for tea bags is beyond mean! We went out and bought our own."

A pretty port with quiet pebbly beaches where the water is clear and clean. Many great tavernas with fresh fish and local delicious food.

A relay friendly relaxed port town with great dinning options. This is not a lively place (loud music etc) which suites me just fine. I will be returning.

Lovely town which despite tourism has still retained its Greek charm. Lots to keep you busy and good transport links. Will return again soon.
