Above the beach to the southern end of the village, the Akroyiali (also called Germany) represents all that is best in small Greek family-run hotels. Run by Dimitris and his family, the Akroyiali also has a good taverna restaurant.
The hotel has only 17 rooms, all on the upper floors. Recently refurbished they are comfortably furnished in a light modern style, and all possess air conditioning, TV, fridge, safety deposit box, tiled shower/wc, hairdryer and good-sized furnished balcony. Half enjoy lovely sea views, and we can confirm one of these rooms at no supplement if booked in good time. Some rooms can take a third bed for a child, and the hotel has a family room for 4.
Directly in front is the fine sandy beach, where sun beds and umbrellas are provided free of charge to hotel guests. The Akroyiali, although simple, is a near perfect base for a completely untrammelled holiday where everything you actually come on holiday for is right on your doorstep.
Half Board
Guests at the Akroyiali and Liotopi hotels stay on a half board basis, which includes an evening meal taken at the Akroyiali’s decked restaurant area on the beach. We do not often recommend half board as, in our experience, Greek hotel kitchens rarely match the quality and choice of the local tavernas.
The Akroyiali, however, is an exception. The food is home-cooked taverna fare, some of it organic (many of the vegetables and salad ingredients are homegrown without chemicals) and the choice generous. No set meals here. You will have free choice from the large and varied taverna menu, including a minimum of 10 starters or salads, 10-20 main dishes and 3 desserts (including fruit).
Unusually, good vegetarian options and even some sea food and fish dishes are included (the area is known for its fresh mussels!) – only the more expensive of these items carry a surcharge.
Although typically ‘no frills’ taverna fare, we believe the holiday prices here to be good value. If you have any dietary requirements please advise us at the time of booking. Please note that dinner service for half board guests starts at 20:30 due to staff rotas as Greeks tend to eat late.
