Athena Hotel

Spotlessly clean and brilliant hosts, nothing was too much trouble. A friendly and relaxed hotel ideally placed to discover georgioupolis or further afield either by car or bus. I stayed there recently with my daughter and couldnt have picked a better place for us.

Originally booked for Fereniki resort and spa but after reading the bad reviews we changed to this hotel the best decision. Returned on 11 August for 7 nights, apartment room 201 bed and breakfast. Arrived 1am room were signposted on reception and emailed in advance too Extra cost €6 air-con was not aware of this was not included would have been nice to have the option to have on first night or complementary if arriving early hours. Also a note in room explaining Air-con, time for breakfast, swimming pool times and how to use induction Hob would be very useful. Room lovely with balcony, opposite road and another hotel but the room was sound proof very quiet at night. Bed and pillows comfortable slept very well all week. Air con lowest setting 24 but this is cold enough ended up setting it to 26 so i didn’t wake in the night. Fridge has freezer section too, room comes with all the basics and a toaster. Room cleaned everyday, towels and sheets changed every other day except Sunday no cleaning service. Cleaner very polite and does amazing job. Breakfast served from 8am to 10am very accommodating as vegetarian and my 3 year old son. Pool opens 9am to 7pm Deep end 2.2m No one reserves sun beds and there is enough sun beds for everyone. The majority of the week we had pool to ourselves. Lovely family resort the owner very friendly and proud keeping areas clean and tidy, anything I asked for no problem! We would definitely return and slowly recovering from holiday blues. Also recommend Kournas Lake taxi 1-4ppl €8 one way 5-8ppl €12. This was amazing you can hire peddle boats €15 for an hour we hire for two €30 but worth it and we saw 3 turtles, we did this in the afternoon but could do all day there are restaurants and parks for kids, shops. If you have kids recommend the Rainbow cafe it had bouncy castles, trampolines, crazy golf (14 hole) olay house slides perfect for kids. Also plays sports channels. Chapel visit was worth a visit but very dangerous if the sea rough as you have to walk over big rocks and the waves crashing as walking across make sure where proper shoes. At this end of the beach there is a lovely Cafe/bar. On the beach you have to pay to use the sunbeds €10 each but you can use the hotels facilities swimming pool and WC we use the Corissia Harmony and the food was lovely too.

This is a comfortable small hotel with a clean, small, deep pool out the back. The local town square is only 200m down the road. The owners are friendly and explained what was required in extra charges. The room was on the small side and fulfilled the basic needs. Our room opened to a balcony which faced the road. And this is where things went a little wrong for us. The noise from the road at night meant we couldn't leave the door open. With the door shut it was too hot to sleep. Air conditioning in the rooms was charged at 6Euro a night. Since the night time temperature on our visit was 26 degress Celsius, and being from Norhtern Europe were unused to the heat, we went with paying for the air conditioning.
