Pegasus Hotel

For a relaxed getaway by the beach, Pegasus Hotel ticks all the boxes. Sitting just outside Roda – a laidback resort that started life as a quiet fishing village – this is the perfect place to escape to the sun.

If the beach is number one on your agenda, it’s an easy 10-minute stroll from the hotel down to the seafront. Back at the hotel the pool is a large curvy lagoon-style number, complete with island bar reached by bridge. There’s plenty of loungers and parasols, too – ideal for working on your tan or finally finishing that book. Visit during the high season and you’ll see the hotel come to life in the evenings with Greek dancing, quiz nights, and weekly live music.

Breakfast is a plentiful buffet of continental options, and the poolside bar will keep you in snacks and drinks throughout the day. In the evenings ramble out and you’ll have your pick of restaurants serving up international favourites and local specialities in laidback surroundings. Wind down the evening in a bar by the beachfront or wander back to the hotel for a nightcap in the lobby bar.
