Aktaion Hotel

Evia


Old-world touches like dangling chandeliers and soaring ceilings meet contemporary boutique-inspired comfort at this intimate, traditional-style stone building just across from the waterfront, which reveals a handful of cosy, smartish rooms (the best with balconies) under cordial management. Downstairs there's a pleasant all-day cafe-bar.
