Nothing is reserved until the venue confirms. A first note comes back within two business days.
Our primary reason for choosing this hotel was for the beach (Simos Beach) which is one of the best not just in Greece but the world (pristine waters, soft white sand everywhere; no seaweed or stones/rocks anywhere).
