"The hotel is very modern and the rooms are very clean. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very nice. A lovely swimming pool to relax during the day but the sun beds are limited. The hotel location is quiet as it’s a few miles away from Gallipoli, however we appreciated this as it is a lively place. A car is needed to explore the area and the local beaches."
