Archon Seaside Retreat

What a brilliant stay! The villas are beautifully and cleverly designed. We loved the lovely view of the tidy garden and pool – and watching the sunset over the Mediterranean was a real treat. Even before we arrived, Christos sorted our transfers and answered our questions straight away. We felt right at home on arrival, and after a quick tour we were ready for our first dip. Plaka Beach is just a few hundred metres away, with neat beach cabins and a handy food truck nearby – no need to wander far. After checking out the local restaurants and enjoying a nightcap on the lovely veranda, we settled into the most comfortable beds and appreciated the peace and quiet. Christos prepared a perfect island breakfast with yoghurt, fruit and tasty local pastries. The kitchen was great for making an early coffee or a light lunch. The villa was cleaned every day, with fresh towels ready and waiting when we returned from the beach. Our stay at Archon was a highlight of our holiday, and we can’t wait to come back.

Occasionally the island breeze makes the beach a bit blustery, so the Villa pool was a lovely alternative – though it was still a touch chilly for a proper dip. Perhaps future upgrades could include a sustainable solar heating system to warm the water by a few degrees.

Gutes, gut ausgestattetes Zimmer
