My stay at the Byzantino was an absolute delight! The rooms have such great character and were incredibly comfortable, offering stunning sea views from high up in the tower. The location couldn't have been better, and the service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make my weekend trip truly memorable. However, the noise from the nearby bar was a bit of a downside, keeping me up until the early hours of the morning.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While I loved the traditional style and the balcony in the room, it was not very suitable for the elderly. On the positive side, the location allowed me to swim in crystal clear waters just a few meters away and enjoy the convenience of bars and restaurants right on my doorstep.
