The clean lines, soft shades and soothing natural tones exude a contemporary, minimalist chic.

Situated on the seafront, guests can walk along the new seafront promenade to reach the centre of the town with its shops, castle and famed House of Dionysos. The location and the attentive staff make this a popular choice for younger families. As you would expect from a Thanos hotel, the Almyra projects a sense of serenity with its muted tones and stylish crisp design, which celebrates light and views of the Mediterranean Sea throughout the property. The hotel has a wide choice of rooms and suites offering different views and amenities. As well as freshwater pools, four restaurants, a Spa, and with its sister hotel just next door, guests have a number of facilities to choose from.
