The heart of the resort is its seafront freshwater pool, framed by loungers and parasols and looking straight out over the Aegean. There’s a separate children’s section so younger guests can splash safely while adults unwind with the sea as a backdrop. Pool towels and baby-changing facilities are available.

Just below, the sandy beach invites long, lazy days by the water. In season you’ll find sunbeds, parasols and the handy Thalassa beach bar for drinks and light bites. The water here is typically calm and clear, ideal for paddling with little ones or a quick morning swim.
