Acrotel Athena Residence

We have just returned home from the most amazing holiday at the Athena Residence in Halkidiki! We only booked our holiday two weeks ago because we had to cancel our original booking to Dorset in the uk due to our daughter needing surgery. We wanted to spend some time relaxing in the sunshine and WOW it was exactly that here at this hotel! On arrival we were offered a welcome drink then taken to our maisonette/ mini villa by golf cart which was a lot of fun, my three daughters loved this. As we had a late arrival there were beautifully presented sandwiches and mini deserts along with drinks, such a lovely touch! We then checked out our view outside the patio doors and all I can say is wow! Wow! Our holiday was so peaceful as the place was very calming, staff were on hand all of the time and did everything they could to ensure you had the most wonderful stay. Joanna who worked in our pool bar was a complete gem! She really looked after us and the girls were supper excited to see her everyday. On day one she went through everything we needed to know whilst we drank a coffee by the pool and the children played. We booked a private boat trip which my 11 year old said was the best experience of her life. The team also helped with a car rental for getting out and about. They really went above and beyond. Sadly our holiday had to come to an end but we have already looked to book again. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like there Is any availability but I’m hoping it’s only because those dates have not been released yet. Fingers crossed!

Lovely hotel and grounds The rooms and gardens at the Residence were lovely. Great pool for lounging in at the end of the day. Extensive breakfast buffet and friendly service.
