Frommer's Review

We single out the Xenia-Helios because here you can save a bit of money and feel you're contributing to the future of young Greeks. It's one of three such hotels run by the Greek Ministry of Tourism to train young people for careers in the hotel world. (Another is outside Athens, the other outside Thessaloniki.) The physical accommodations may not be quite as glitzy as some of the other beach resorts, but they're certainly first class and the service is especially friendly. The beach here is also especially lovely, and children will enjoy Water City, the water park just a mile or so east of the hotel.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; pool; tennis courts; watersports equipment; conference facilities; hair salon
