A perfect holiday destination for families and couples, the Rigas Hotel, Skopelos, also offers Greek barbecue nights and a welcome for artists, cyclists and sports fans. No wonder it's such a popular destination!
Description
Natural beauty combined with tradition and modernity – and special attractions for cyclists and sports fans – help to make for an unforgettable stay at the Rigas Hotel, Skopelos.
With a welcoming and unhurried take on the Greek way of life, and surrounded by lush gardens with lemon trees, colourful bougainvilleas and roses, the Rigas is 300m from Skopelos seafront, the port, restaurants and shops.
Its beautiful swimming pool adds to the mood of relaxation, with free umbrellas and sun beds and a bar serving lunches, snacks, drinks, cocktails, coffee and other refreshments.
As well as being a delightful holiday destination for families and couples, the Rigas is a ‘bike friendly hotel’ with services for cyclists, exhibition and performance space for artists and musicians, a big-screen lounge for broadcasts of big sports events, and barbeque nights with Greek music and delicacies. Guests can also benefit from a 20% discount on spa treatments at a sister hotel.
The large, bright rooms and apartments, sleeping from one to five people, have air conditioning, free wifi, satellite TV and a mini fridge, and booking options for bed and breakfast, half board and studio self-catering are available.
The hotel restaurant offers a buffet breakfast, snacks and cuisine of Greek fresh ingredients and Italian recipes.
There's a choice of beaches – the main beach, near the harbour and the ancient temple of Asklepios, is pebbled, and within 2km is Glyfoneri Beach, a family-friendly, pebbled shore overlooked by lush, green hills.
Skopelos offers beautiful scenery across the island, and popular activities include cycling, hiking, scuba diving, kayaking and sailing, and hotel reception can help with car, bike and boat rentals.
