Paralia Holidays from AU$2,208

We loved the whole look and feel of this hotel; the place is amazing. The location is meh, you would need a car (or taxi) to get around. we had a very nice dinner about 10 car-minutes from the hotel, but there's not really anything close by. The room we stayed in was gorgeous, but the bed was uncomfortable: the mattress was very hard and the bed itself (the springs?) was very loud. The bed itself was very pretty with the wide wooden edge, but because of this almost impossible to get into. The shower... Oh man that shower. That shower is the standard for showers from now on. Breakfast was very good. Staff at check in and breakfast were very kind!

An amazing, beautiful resort very close to Athens. You can visit Athens if you wish, or relax at the beach, play tennis, workout, and there are activities for the kids as well

When arriving from the airport the entrance to Monastic initially was not readily apparent and somewhat inconvenient to move the luggage, so initially we thought we had made a big mistake with this booking. But once the door opens things changed quickly and with the assistance of the friendly and helpful stuff were shown our room: A large "Studio Apartment", great view, nice bath, kitchenette and any modern amenities one can imagine with a welcome basket. Staff showed us the roof terrace making the view of the Acropolis even better; Nearly all sites in 15 minutes walking distance; a place for couples who want to experience Athen; No, the Monastic doesn't have a common breakfast area or a bar but there are an ample number for every taste in close proximity.

First and foremost - AMAZING staff. We celebrated our first year anniversary with a short vacation to Athens. We looked for a beautiful hotel close to the beach and we found this perfect little gem. Eva at the reception was INCREDIBLY nice and helpful with literally everything we asked her help with. From recommendations on where to eat, taxi arrangements, spa reservations (that we kept on changing times...) everything. Embarrassed to say I don't remember the rest of the staff names. But they too were so very nice and truly made us feel as we were royal. The spa was great. The pool very clean. The design of the room was beautiful and spacious. Very short walking distance to a quiet beach. About 10 minutes walk to the center of Glyfada. All and all - amazing. 10/10. Send our regards to Eva at the front desk :)
