Stay local for laid-back days, or use this as a base to explore neighbouring Gerakina and Metamorfosi, as well as the wider Kassandra and Sithonia peninsulas by hire car or local bus.

• Beach: approx. 150m
• Psakoudia resort centre: approx. 150m

With a choice of buffet and à la carte dining, Philoxenia Hotel keeps mealtimes relaxed but varied.

The main buffet restaurant sits poolside and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, including show-cooking at breakfast and dinner. Expect Mediterranean and international favourites, plus options that work for younger palates. Highchairs and a microwave corner make family life easier.

Kukunari Restaurant is the à la carte option, also by the pool, focusing on Greek and local dishes in a more intimate setting. All Inclusive guests can usually enjoy a set-menu dinner here once per 7 nights, with additional visits at extra charge.

A pool snack bar serves light bites and drinks through the day, meaning you don’t have to venture far from your lounger.

Smart-casual dress is requested in restaurants (no beachwear; long trousers for gentlemen in the evening). Opening times, reservations and inclusions can vary by season and board basis; always check the latest details on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Philoxenia Hotel is built around two outdoor freshwater pools, creating a sociable heart to the property.

• Main outdoor pool with integrated children’s section, lined with sunbeds and parasols.
• Second outdoor pool (also freshwater), exclusive to guests who book a pool view room – ideal if you like a quieter swim-and-snooze scene.

Both pools are heated between 25 April and 18 May, and again from 1st to 31st October, making this a good choice for early or late-season breaks. Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit.

The beach is around 150m away: a long, gently shelving bay of soft sand and typically calm waters, great for paddling children. A beachfront promenade offers cafés and bars where you can retreat from the midday sun.

If you like a mix of relaxation and gentle activity, Philoxenia Hotel has just enough on offer without feeling busy.

On the wellbeing side there’s a small spa area with sauna and steam room (local charges; minimum age 16; seasonal opening, typically 10:00–17:00). It’s a handy spot for a little grown-up time while the kids are in the club.

Light activities include aqua aerobics and table tennis, plus organised daytime fun such as small team games and arts and crafts at peak times. In the evenings, you can expect quizzes, bingo, live music and a mini-disco for little ones on selected nights between late May and late September (programme may vary by occupancy).

Practical extras include a reception with concierge-style help, luggage storage and even motorised scooter charging (local charge).
