Set along a 2km stretch of a pristine Blue Flag sandy beach, the Grecotel La Riviera & Aqua park is a fantastic destination for a fun filled family holiday in Greece's Peloponnese region.
Description
Grecotel La Riviera at Riviera Olympia Aqua Park forms part of the wider Grecotel Olympia Riviera resort and is a chic, luxury hotel on the west coast of the Peloponnese. Its aristocratic architecture and classic décor in elegant cream white tones reflect the images of nearby Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. The resort is set along a 2km sandy beach with beautiful views across the Ionian Sea.
The spacious and stylish accommodation with floor to ceiling windows open onto generous sized balconies offering beautiful sea views. There are also multiple family options whether you choose family rooms which have sea views, separate bedroom areas or a private garden area.
In addition, there are two pools near the beach with exotic landscape, a paddling pool and a quiet pool that cascades into a waterfall. Younger guests can enjoy unlimited access to the nearby Olympia Aqua park or spend their time at the Grecoland Club, while adults can lounge around one of many landscape pools or at the serene on site spa. Along that, there is a fantastic choice of restaurants serving up a range of Greek and international dishes and a variety of sport and entertainment facilities.
The Peloponnese is one of the most unspoilt areas remaining in Greece. The region combines images and scents of the sea and mountains, of grapes, olives and citrus. Every corner of this land brings to mind some myth or historical event. The sandy beaches, the quaint villages and warm Greek hospitality make for an ideal climate for family holidays. Guests can reach the incredible archaeological site of Olympia in 38-miles or take a day trip to the island of Zakynthos
