Arathena Rocks Hotel

The location is at the very end of a small road. The hotel doesn't have a beach with sand, but does have access to the ocean over the volcanic rocks and the pool is lovely. The sandy beach (Naxos) is approximately a 10-15 min walk. In the off season, when we were there, the bus route starts a little farther away, but the staff told us during the tourist season the bus comes much more closely and will take you along the whole beach and up to Taormina. The hotel is full of neat antiques, but the bathrooms and doors/windows have clearly recently been redone, and are modern. The mattress was memory foam and firm, but comfortable. Like much of Europe, the king is two twins pushed together. The rooms are simple, but functional, very clean and comfortable. Super friendly staff. Bring sturdy beach shoes for walking on the rocks! They provided hours of child entertainment.

Very nice hotel. Receptionist was the nicest person, thank you! Lava rocks were instead of regular beach, but impressive. Old building with antiques around, vintage furniture and so on. Breakfast was excellent, everything you need, blood orange fresh juice was mouth watering, eggs, salami, cheese and of course sweet Italian pastries. Quite place with stunning views!

Warm and welcoming hotel, superbly positioned on the rocks overlooking the sea. Interesting antique furniture throughout made this hotel rather special. Plenty of seating areas.

Lovely quiet, well maintained pool and great to be able to access the sea easily from the gardens. Evening dinner option was really good quality and good value for money with friendly, helpful staff. Freshly refurbished room with wonderful view. Clean, well kept hotel and gardens

Good location in quiet area but easy to access everything. Pool was lovely and not overcrowded. Access into the sea via steps . Staff were are lovely and extremely helpful. We opted for the evening meal one night which was very good and excellent value for money.
