Agarathos Homes

We found it clean and comfortable, with amazing views and even a library, which I loved for the book swaps. It’s a good place to set off toward balos beach in the morning. My only complaint was the latte, 6 euros for barely 8oz.

The staff were nice, and the cleaning guy who looked after our room was especially great. The hotel was clean by local standards, with nice views and a good location. I’d stick to breakfast here and go to one of the nice restaurants down the street for dinner, since both the restaurant and breakfast were mediocre. Great hotel otherwise, but that’s why I’m giving it four stars.

We loved waking up with the sea right outside the window, since the bed faces it. Every room has amazing views, and the pool looks out over the sea almost like an infinity pool. The staff were gracious and welcoming, and could do enough to help. There’s a kitchen, a large TV and a safe for valuables in the rooms. The hotel also has a hamam spa, sauna and gym, which makes it feel like the pinnacle of luxury. Dinner at the restaurant can be booked for 19.99 euro, all you can eat. For a romantic, luxurious break, this is definitely the place. I highly recommend it for a holiday that caters to all groups.

The pool area is awesome, with a bar and great ocean views. The beach nearby is very rocky and not great for using, so it’s nicer to look at than to swim from. Stick to the pool. It’s a great location if you’re heading to Balos Beach, and they offer a car service to take you there. We drove to Elafonisi Beach, though we left before breakfast was served, which was a bummer. The rooms were okay. We had to ask for toiletries and for the kids’ beds to be made up, since there were no sheets or pillows in the room.
