  2026 Update: Our Happy Place

  Invalid Date

  After visiting in 2023 and being impressed with this lovely hotel, I'm updating here after a return visit in Sept. 2026. What a joy to find that our memories were not wrong. Hotel is still as fantastic as ever with the same friendly staff and even a cat we met on our last visit. The resident cats are very well loved and make a great addition to the accommodation.Special mention to Samir who we had several interesting chats with and who looked after us so well organising taxis and giving us local advice on restaurants etc. And the Greek yogurt on the breakfast bar is still the best I've ever tasted.Thank you to all the staff for a lovely nine days of relaxation.Best wishesSo glad we chose this lovely hotel for a late summer holiday. Beautiful grounds overlooking the next peninsula and the sea with opportunities to relax in the gardens under olive trees as well as around the lovely pool. Very good breakfast with a special mention for the Greek yogurt which was just delicious. Delightful staff throughout the hotel, from reception via the breakfast staff to the people running the bar. Could not have asked for a better introduction to the area. Tip: do make sure you visit Afytos which is around 8km away. Reception staff can sort a taxi driver for you. Absolutely not to be missed.Thanks to all at the hotel for a wonderful week. xx

  Lovely peaceful atmosphere, sea views from pool area and always sunbeds available. Room spotless and included shampoo etc. It is on a steep hill but shuttle to beach and 5 min walk up to main street.Staff very helpful and friendly.Breakfast area tiny bit small but wasn't an issue and variety good.Would recommend.

  Very clean hotel

  Invalid Date

  Alkion is a lovely hotel, spotlessly clean with lovely staff. Everywhere you look in the hotel is well maintained and looked after. Our room was basic but did the job and again was clean and looked after. I had emailed in advance about concerns with the bed set up for my youngest son and the staff responded very quickly and helpfully. The food and drinks at the snack bar were good, as was breakfast, although at busy times the breakfast area can be a bit small and compact with no room to move. Although the hotel is nice and we had a good holiday, we wouldn't return due to a few things. Firstly the location, Kriopigi itself was too small for us, there was just about enough restaurants for us to eat somewhere different each night for 1 week, but not a huge selection and wouldn't be enough variety for 2 weeks. There isn't much else going on, not many bars to choose from either. The walk up to the town is steep but was doable for us. The other negative for the hotel was the swimming pool, I am surprised no one else has mentioned this but the bottom of the pool is like a rough/pebble surface rather than smooth tile and all 4 of my family had cuts or grazes from the floor just from walking along it. Both my sons had cuts on their knees, legs, feet etc from the baby pool. Also to mention the lifeguard, I'm really sorry but there is absolutely no point in him being there. The only two things he does is tell people not to jump in the pool and tell you not to come into the bar if you're wet. Other than that he sits looking at his phone and not once in a week did I see him watching people actually swim. Overall, it was a lovely hotel but was too quiet for us with not much to do for our children (the park is non existent), however if you are looking to relax and happy with a smaller selection of restaurants I would recommend Alkion.

  A very lovely choice of hotel, you won't be disappointed!

  We had an absolutely wonderful week at the Alkion Hotel. There were so many standout features. The setting was beautiful—spacious without feeling large, with rooms and facilities arranged across a lush green area dotted with olive trees that glowed softly when lit at night.The pool was a real highlight: calm, inviting, and never overcrowded. Our younger daughter (7) made incredible progress with her swimming, supported by the lovely lifeguard who kept the atmosphere relaxed and safe throughout the day. The pool bar staff were equally delightful, serving great food from lunch to evening—our family certainly enjoyed plenty of tzatziki.Breakfast each day was delicious, served from 8–10.30am, with a wide variety to suit everyone. We especially loved the Greek yoghurt and local pastries.Our room was excellent—quiet, comfortable, and kept spotless by the thoughtful housekeeping team.Finally, a special mention must go to Alex and Sam on reception. They were exceptionally welcoming and helpful, offering brilliant recommendations for local and further-afield outings. Sam, in particular, made a lasting impression by spending time each evening with our younger daughter, helping her build confidence in stroking the hotel’s friendly cats. His patience and kindness meant so much to us.We would wholeheartedly recommend staying here and truly wish we were back already.

  Currently here on our 3rd day, what a beautiful little hidden Gem. Im here with my husband and 5 children, 2 are Autistic and we were quite weary as having twin Autistic girls we really have to make sure its suitable for them . Being a parent of disabled girls, we find many people stare and judge due to lack of understanding. Well this place is absolutely fantastic, all the staff Georgia, Alex the handy man, cleaners and all the staff are absolutely fantastic. They have all been extremely attentive, kind and helpful. Our flights where delayed !! So Georgia had made a little bag of goodies, water juice and cakes for us all ??we emailed previously to see if the rooms could be next to each other, we are staying in room 404 and 403 ,Alex on reception such a gentleman with being so helpful and getting the handy man to fix our daughters disabled pram, also giving us the correct information, All of the staff have welcomed us and the cleaners have kept our room spotless to a high standards.The rooms are beautiful and clean, always fresh towels and beds made. We are big travelers and to say how clean this place is, well you can walk around anywhere footless, and your feet stay clean !!! Breakfast has plenty of choice, all fresh and plenty to eat ?? A Big hug thing is how peaceful this place is and the views are Heavenly. 5 ?? for everything we will definitely be back, its such a beautiful hidden Gem.
