Guests can enjoy a signature breakfast or special a la carte menus while taking in the unrivaled views of the sea and the White Tower monument. Complete wellness amenities allow travelers to rejuvenate with the largest traditional hammam in Greece, an outdoor swimming pool by the seafront, a fitness center and sauna facilities.
