Frequently Asked Questions
The centre puts you within easy reach of the main sights, the shops and the museums; the Athenian Riviera gives you a proper resort feel with beaches and pools. Many visitors split the difference — two or three nights in the city, then the same again on the coast.
Spring and autumn offer mild weather and a more manageable pace. Summer is ideal if you're after sea and sun, though the city itself can be very hot; winter is quieter and often considerably better value.
Many of the resort properties have children's clubs and family pools. City hotels tend to be more adult-oriented, though most can arrange interconnecting rooms and children's menus without any difficulty.
Yes, particularly at weekends and during the high season. It's worth securing treatments and tables at the signature restaurants well ahead of time to get the best slots.
Smart casual works well in most dining rooms and bars. Beach or casual resort wear is best left for the pool and the beach — it won't go down especially well in the city or at the better restaurants.
A service charge is sometimes included in the bill, so it's worth checking. In practice, ten per cent at a restaurant is appreciated, rounding up for bar tabs and taxis is the norm, and tipping hotel staff comes down to the level of service you've received.
