Reviews
Fun fact about the hotel’s name: Kyniska was a Spartan princess from the 5th century BC and the first woman to win at the Olympic Games.
That said, there were several downsides. There were a lot of ants — in the room, around the pool, and even near the bar area. The swimming pool was small but sufficient, and while bar service was great, outside guests could just walk in to use the pool, which doesn’t feel right for a five-star hotel. Communication was also difficult, as none of the staff spoke anything other than Greek. Finally, breakfast was very basic and really did not meet five-star expectations.
In short, some great touches, but quite a few details fell short of what you'd expect at this level.
