Bitzaro Grande in Kalamaki 291 00.
Perched on the Kalamaki coastline, Bitzaro Grande commands sweeping Aegean views with whitewashed architecture rising against the Mediterranean horizon.
The hotel's cliff-edge position offers unobstructed vistas of sparkling waters and distant islands, while manicured gardens and terraced levels create intimate spaces for ceremonies and receptions.
Stone pathways wind through olive groves, anchoring the venue in authentic Greek landscape.
Absolutely amazing food – probably the best we’ve ever had at an all-inclusive stay. We also loved the private pool, which made the whole experience even more special and relaxing. A truly memorable stay.
