vassilias beach hotel

We love the steep walk here! From the main road, both entrances climb up to reception, then it’s downhill to the accommodation and farther down by steps or another slope to the pool and beach. We’re here for two weeks, and the view from our room makes the basic, typically Greek furnishings easy to accept. The bed is comfortable and the fridge is cold. Whoever stays in room 4 next, the cats will be expecting their food!

The views are the highlight, and the staff are all really friendly. There’s plenty of parking, and Rada Taverna down on the beach is very good, though it only opens from noon until late. You can also catch the water taxi from the beach several times a day. The pool is a little walk downhill, and three of the blocks sit on a very steep slope, so it won’t suit anyone with walking difficulties, apart from the top block. Rooms are basic but OK: most have two cooking rings, a kettle and a fridge, but you have to wash dishes in the shower room sink and there aren’t many cooking utensils. There are plenty of cups, glasses and cutlery, though none of it matches. The showers are great, rooms are cleaned daily and sheets are changed twice a week. But, well, it is Greece!

The pool is amazing, and there’s a beach bar. The views are beautiful, while the rooms are basic but adequate.

A peaceful place for a vacation, with welcoming, friendly staff and a room cleaned every day. The view is great, and just metres away there’s a fabulous restaurant on a beautiful, serene beach. I’d happily recommend it.
