The primary bar-restaurant serves domestically sourced, recent and wholesome dishes. With a recent twist on all of the Greek classics, the menu right here is all about high quality not amount. In addition to a powerful buffet, sizzling breakfast dishes are cooked to order (the scrambled eggs with tomato and feta cheese is a should and the freshly-ground espresso is implausible). Together with an unique natural tea menu, implausible wines, cocktails and made-to-order smoothies, each style is catered for. This relaxed space is the guts of the lodge and visitors hang around right here all via the day.
I beloved this salad and falafel dish; the falafel was frivolously fried in oil as a substitute of the standard deep frying technique. It was served alongside the freshest salad and tzasiki. It’s all you want for a healthful summery lunch.
Poolside Stylish

The underside solar deck has a shaded space and comfortable bean-bag chairs, that are the perfect seats in the home throughout sundown.

A design characteristic of all bedrooms is that the rain bathe is inside the primary bed room behind a sweeping wall; modern and funky, so long as you don’t thoughts being uncovered to your room mate. Pretty touches reminiscent of fluffy white robes and native Greek sweets on arrival add a homely contact.
