Beach holidays

Right from the windows of Club Hotel Iliochari 3 * a wonderful landscape opens. On the one hand - the unique distance of the wine color (as Homer wrote) of the Mediterranean Sea, on the other - the riotous color of the well-groomed garden.

A magnificent comfortable pebble beach, awarded the Blue Flag, begins 80 meters from the hotel complex. It is sufficiently provided with sun loungers and umbrellas. However, the pine plantations are so close to the water that their thick crowns successfully replace the umbrellas. Therefore, most of the bathers are in the shade cast by slender forest giants, saving on renting inventory.

The elegant embankment along which it is so pleasant to walk, laid along a pebble strip, is dotted with cafes and restaurants. This beach complex deservedly received very positive and flattering statements from hotel guests.

However, bathers at the behest of nature here expect stony soil, running on which you can injure your leg. Tourists should get beach slippers to protect themselves.
