Grecian-style hotel with a rural outlook

The Ionion Blue Hotel offers up seclusion and scenery all in one. It’s on the outskirts of Kalamaki, surrounded by fields and olive groves and with a view of Mount Skopos. That said, it’s also handily located, just a 10-minute walk from the nearest shops and tavernas, as well as a sandy beach famous for its nesting loggerhead turtles.

The hotel itself is Grecian in style, with pastel-hued walls and sweeping arches. Its star turn is its huge swimming pool, which is set in a suntrap terrace and armed with a good helping of loungers and parasols. There’s a section just for tots to paddle in, too.

Find out more about Kalamaki

The seaside resort of Kalamaki faces an untouched, expansive cove, so it’s a magnet for beach lovers. If you’re lucky, you might catch sight of the Caretta sea turtle here, which is an endangered species known for living in the waters and coves around the island. 
The turtle nesting beaches sit just 150 metres from the charming Old Town, making it a good place to stop off after a day of snorkelling in the Mediterranean waters. This is traditional Greece at its best – authentic tavernas and cutesy souvenir shops, stuffed down spindly alleyways framed with blooms, and lined up along sleepy cobbled squares. 

During the summer months it can get quite busy, but there are plenty of places to seek respite on holidays to Kalamaki. For a proper breather, head out into the countryside in a 4x4 or explore on two wheels.
