Hotel Paspalis

Hotel Paspalis details

“A traditional Greek property in a fabulous spot not far from the beach, the Hotel Paspalia makes for a relaxing retreat.”

Pulled right up against a sandy beach, this place couldn’t get much closer to the shore. What’s more, it’s backed by rugged, tree-stacked hillsides so there’s a really peaceful vibe. Plus, the views are first class. The Paspalis attracts couples seeking a quiet location within easy reach of the pretty resort centre. Skala itself, is just a short coastal walk away. Dotted with tavernas, bars and restaurants, it’s ideal for evenings out.

When you just want to relax, though, the Hotel Paspalis is a great place to take it easy. Set in an oasis of lawns, pine trees and climbing vines, it’s every inch the good-looking hideaway. At the heart of it all is a large swimming pool, bordered by a wide sun deck. There’s an outdoor bar area, too, complete with a shady al fresco terrace.

Head inside, meanwhile, and the laid-back theme continues. Rooms have a Mediterranean feel with fresh white walls, cool tiled floors and painted wooden furniture. In-room comforts like air-conditioning, mini-fridges and satellite TVs keep things up-to-date. Plus, each one comes with a private balcony or terrace, so you can soak up the scenery whenever you like.

As for the hotel restaurant, it serves up the best of Greek cuisine with a local wine list to match. Fresh seafood plays a starring role, too, with grilled fish regularly topping the menu. If you’re after something a little lighter, meanwhile, the pool bar offers up drinks, snacks and ice-cream throughout the day.
