Alykanas Village

The attractive Alykanas Village fires on all cyclinders, with a beachfront setting, stylish, contemporary interiors and some top family facilities. Rooms are ultra-modern here, with lashings of light, plenty of space and island-inspired colours.

The hotel’s exteriors are classically Greek, thanks to gabled, terracotta rooftops and immaculately tended tropical grounds. In the middle of it all there’s a swimming pool, perfectly positioned to make the most of the spectacular views, which encompass pine-cloaked peaks and the sparkling Ionian Sea. There’s a good supply of loungers, daybeds and parasols out here, too, plus a charming splash pool with a waterfall for little ones. When you want to swap pool for beach, it’s just a short stroll down to the honey-coloured sands.
