Xylokastro-Evrostina Vacation Packages

Really lovely staff, welcomed us at 3am with a homemade lemonade (thank you Ahmed!)

Close to the airport. Delicious breakfast. Nice swimming pool. On the negative side, the shower was extremely small.

The property was very nice and the room was sufficient for our one night stay before we got on the cruise ship. There was a restaurant right beside the hotel. That was very good.

The Buffet dinner was expensive for what it offered; room service menu was better value. The a al carte restaurant options were not available every night, and fully booked when we tried. The breakfast buffet (included) was good. The "Superior bungalow" was a strange layout with an open plan bathroom with a movable/ sliding screen; the bath had no tap, so had to be filled with the flexible hand shower - which was do-able but a bit strange. Lighting was also a bit strange, with numerous lights and slightly randomly located switches, most of these did not provide much light. The access door was a sliding glass door panel, the locking of which was using the room card; successfully achieving this was a bit of an art, and it was not immediately intuitive. A full size wooden "shutter" door provided privacy across the glass access door at night, but had sagged on its hinges so was hard to close. the remainder of the glass window was coverable by an electric roller blind. Gym and spa pool were good, as was the outdoor pool. The private beach - accessible by tunnels under the road - was pleasant with many sun loungers and a good view of the Poseidon Temple. Both beach and main pool had bar/bistros providing a reasonable range. The temple was about a 1.6km walk along the road from the hotel, which was wide and fairly quiet. The hotel would arrange a taxi at a price. Visiting just before sunset gave good colours for photography, but also seemed to be when a number of coach tours arrived.
