Marelen Hotel

  • Easy walk from the famous Caretta Beach
  • Three pools including splash pool for the young ones

Attractive, family-run hotel

The Marelen Hotel is a family-run affair that’s won a ton of awards and recently been refurbished. It’s got a great setting, just a five-minute walk from Caretta Beach, Zante’s famous turtle nesting spot. And the bright light of Kalamaki aren’t much further on. This is a peaceful property, designed in a traditional Greek style – think pastel-hued walls and terracotta rooftops, all spread among gardens of palm trees.

The outdoor scene promises something for everything. There are three pools, including an adults-only number, one just for little ones and another for both. Tots will adore the sweet splash park, too, which comes with slides, spray fountains and tipping buckets.

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.
