Reviews
One of the bins has not been emptied. Strange that the restaurant below called the same is not connected and a separate business, internal door blocked off.
Wonderful location with views of the castle and water. Sad point is that the running water was salty thus not potable and undrinkable.
According to the Greek hotels categorization they absolutely deserve 3 stars!
