Ancient Kassopi

It is a beautiful setting. The hotel is relatively small but the villas are nicely placed and the pool and bar areas are very nice. The sea is very pleasant with a fine rocky almost sandy beach easily accessible. Sun loungers on the beach are not available but there are enough sun loungers in the surrounding spaces with a sea view so that is OK. There were no water sports eg kayaking available although the hotel next door has a couple of paddleboards you can hire. The sea swimming area is pretty and warm, fine for most but if you like a bigger sea swim you do end up in boat lane traffic after 50 to 100 metres. Very relaxing. Great breakfast and food if a little pricey. Local village is very sweet and renting a boat there is easy. No massage or spa. No real activities to speak of. Very hilly site. But if you just want somewhere clean relaxing with a nice pool, a good view and easy access to the sea, it hits the spot.

Beautiful hotel in wonderful setting. Such friendly and helpful staff. Quality of food and drinks excellent. Rooms spacious and cleaned daily with fresh towels daily. Lovely atmosphere

Great views, mini market very small and only sold sun lotion, inflatables and cigarettes but not much more. A great mini market at the next door hotel(Lichnos suites), our room door lock wasn’t working properly and struggled to open it everyday(handle was broken), only one small lift in the hotel which was super slow so really needs another lift, no facilities inside the hotel like a lounge bar or restaurant as those both are outside by the beach. The instructions how to use the safe were not complete and missing steps so had to ask for help to use it. Sofa bed my 12 yr old slept in was very short so her feet were hanging outside the end of the bed. She is normal height(160cm). Towels by the beach are on a towel card system and you hand in a card to a member of staff and they give you a towel. Towels had yellow ( presumably sun lotion)stains on them so need to be washed better to be clean. If you lose a towel card, you get charged €25 per card. Having said that, there were piles of cards by the towel stations so anyone could have picked one up easily as the stations weren’t manned all the time. Nice hotel but wouldn’t necessarily rate as 5 star. More like 4 star.
