Akrathos Beach Hotel

Wonderful Escape with Outstanding Care and Hospitality I had a fantastic stay at Akrathos Beach Hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The location is simply breathtaking, nestled where the mountains meet the deep blue Aegean Sea. The scenery is truly picturesque and creates the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday. The food was excellent throughout my stay. There was a wide variety of healthy Mediterranean dishes every day, catering to all tastes and dietary preferences. Whether you enjoy vegetarian, vegan, fish, or meat dishes, there was always plenty of choice and everything was fresh and delicious. The staff were consistently professional, polite, and welcoming. Their dedication to guest satisfaction was evident in every interaction. The beach is beautiful, with crystal-clear waters and plenty of sunbeds available, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the stunning surroundings. During my stay, I unfortunately suffered a snake bite while hiking in the nearby countryside. This could have been a very stressful experience, but the hotel's PR Manager, Polyxeni, was exceptional. She immediately arranged for a doctor and helped me get to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment. Throughout the entire ordeal, she was caring, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. She also assisted me with several issues at the hospital, for which I am extremely grateful. Her kindness and professionalism turned a frightening situation into one that was much more manageable. Akrathos Beach Hotel offers not only a beautiful location, great food, and an excellent beach, but also genuine care for its guests. Thanks to Polyxeni and the entire team, I left with wonderful memories and deep appreciation for their hospitality. I would definitely return and wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking relaxation, outstanding service, and a truly memorable holiday.

This is a lovely hotel well worth the 2+ hour transfer. The whole area reminded us of the old style Greece we went to 25+ years ago - taverna style, laid back and good value. The hotel is very well run with a great eye for detail. The comfy seating areas are great and the whole place is spotless. The beach is super and there are no towel wars at the beach or pool. We were impressed by the quality and choice of the food and drink offerings and the whole level of service was excellent. A big thank you to the staff that you don't see who keep everything going - laundry, cleaning, kitchen, gardeners, security, maintenance etc as without them the hotel wouldn't be the gem it is. Thank you to everybody for a lovely week and to Edwardo and the whole team who looked after us.

We had an amazing time at Akrathos Beach Hotel. Definitely worth the 2 hour transfer. Our room was excellent, side facing over looking the sea and the hotel to our right, stunning views. From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble. Every member of staff was friendly and professional, from the lovely ladies who did a fantastic job cleaning our rooms, the guys down the beach, the kitchen/waiter staff, all the way up to the Eduardo. Everyone who works at the hotel do a tremendous job, the hotel is spotless and very well maintained. A special thank you though goes to the wonderful people who happily walk round our tables every night, collecting the glasses and taking orders for cocktails etc. They truly were upbeat, friendly and super efficient. In particular I'd like to thank Yaroslava and Mykyta, two wonderful, beautiful souls, I miss seeing them. We are all inclusive for out stay and must say, the food was delicious, so many options. You could go basic if that's what you preferred or go for the Greek dishes, me, I adore a greek salad :). There was also Hungarian and Russian options too, and the greek yogurt with figs and walnuts was to die for. The only negative would be for the goats cheese appetiser in the Tavern, far too salty. I must say as well actually, the manager at the Tavern was very professional as well and helped us with our choice of wine for dinner. The menu at the Tavern was too big, we ate far too much. I don't think you need the appetiser on there. We went to the beach most days, never sat by the pool but we could see it was popular. For us, the beach was perfect, just a walk down a wee hill but there was also a shuttle bus if you had needed it. Loved relaxing on our free sun loungers and of course having a couple of the all inclusive beers. The sea was so gorgeous. There is a supermarket on the hotel grounds which sold everything we needed. I bought a large water ring and happily floated about in the sea with the wee fishes swimming below. Oh I wish I was there now. Ouranopuli was only a 40 minute walk away. This is a lovely wee town and it's from here we went on the Mount Athos boat trip. This also took us round to the back of the Ammouliani island onto Alikes Beach.... ohhh, it was out of this world. You can also get a taxi from the hotel to the local ferry port and pop over to the island. We did this one day and it was very lovely although I think as the tourist season was starting to fade out it wasn't very busy. We walked all the way along to Megali Ammos Beach. Well worth the walk. There is also a gym, which I used twice, it has everything you would need. We didn't use all facilities but there was tennis courts which looked popular. There is also a wee boutique shop which looked very lovely. There was entertainment, we had a saxophonist and a traditional Greek night, superb. Oh and not forgetting the amphitheater. It was lovely and the local boys and girls put on a show one evening of there interpretation of traditional dance. They were amazing. How those girls dance on their tippy toes like that, very talented. All it all, I highly recommend this beautiful hotel.
