Sofia Hotel
The breakfast menu was decent but they did not provide enough bacon. Look like they ran out very shortly after opening at 7 am.

Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort - All inclusive
We loved our stay (August 2025) at the Royal And Imperial Belvedere hotel. Our room was great, newly decorated and spotlessly clean. The main dining area is really big and being able to sit outside meant you didn't feel like you were going to the same restaurant for every meal! Lots of fresh food ...

Agapi Beach Resort - Premium All Inclusive
Great resort, staff were super helpful especially those at the restaurant. The Spa was amazing and the staff took time to speak with us before recommending treatment to book. Location right on the beach made it a fantastic place to stay.
