Alkinoi Resort & Spa in Monemvasia 230 70, open June–October.
Alkinoi Resort & Spa commands a clifftop position overlooking the Aegean Sea, with the medieval fortress town of Monemvasia rising dramatically from the rocky coastline below.
Stone terraces cascade down the property, offering sweeping water views across 270 degrees, while the resort's whitewashed architecture echoes the Cycladic tradition.
Natural rock formations and ancient olive groves frame the landscape, creating a theatrical backdrop for ceremonies and celebrations.
The Alkinoi is the Jewel in the Monemvasia Crown. This modern hotel is perfectly located to City Center, a plethora of restaurants, excursions, and most of all The Rock and it's fortress city. And it is a quiet hotel with the best view of any. The rooms are comfortable (the beds were so comfortable and the pillows put you to sleep), modern, clean and with bathrooms that are large. The breakfast was superb. But most of all the staff are incredible. From the time I made my online reservation to the moment I left, they made me and my group feel like each of us were part of their family. Monemvasia was the best part of my trip and everyone at the Alkinoi was one of the very reasons why. I HIGHLY recommend booking this hotel. You will never be disappointed. I cannot wait to go back.
