Olympia Sun

If you thought a family holiday to Greece was out of your price range then think again. The 3-star Olympia Sun Hotel in Faliraki provides comfortable rooms, overlooking the resort’s pool and garden, just 650m from the sandy beach. Here you will find an abundance of bars, tavernas and restaurants, offering foods such as traditional moussaka, fasolada soup and Greek yogurt served with fresh honey.

At breakfast time all guests can choose their favourites from the continental buffet. Those booking the all-inclusive option will have all meals included, plus drinks and snacks from the poolside bar. The whole family will enjoy the evening entertainment programme.

The Olympia Sun's 103 rooms are spread between four buildings. Each has a balcony, satellite TV, air conditioning, WiFi, a small fridge, hairdryer and safe.

The hotel is close to Faliraki Water Park, a mini paradise for children with its white-knuckle slides, wave pool, pirate ship and much more. An extension will open in 2022, allowing the kids to have fun for even longer.

History lovers shouldn’t pass on the opportunity to visit the medieval old town of Rhodes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, just a 20 minute drive away. Here the Knights of St John built the first settlement around a small port and expanded it during the 13th century. Today you can see the remains of castles, temples and fortifications. A visit to the Archaeological Museum will help explain the bygone times.

The hotel is 5km from Kallithea where there are further beaches, as well as the popular attraction of Kallithea Springs. In the 1920s Italian commander Mario Lago built a spa here believing the waters had significant properties. While the actual spa facility has since closed, you can still admire the magnificent marble structures, mosaic flooring and the huge fountain at the entrance.
