Kaliopa

Overview

Pack your flip-flops, because holidays at this hotel are all about the beach. It's Blue-Flag awarded (kind of a big deal), it's got its own private section, and it's literally right there, so even when you're at the pool you can practically smell the suncream and seaweed. But the pool area's pretty epic too, with a separate kids' section and one of those cool bridges that goes over the top which somehow always makes things more exciting. In between all that dunking and diving, there are plenty of sports to keep you busy, and BBQ nights in summer for the ultimate bit of holiday grub.
