Alkion Hotel

"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."

"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."

"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."
