Odyssey Hotel
A two-minute walk to the beach, with a sea-view pool
About this hotel
The pool at Odyssey shares its view with the beach it sits two minutes from, so a swim here doesn't feel like a compromise against the sea itself. Family rooms come with sea views as standard, each with a balcony or terrace, air conditioning and a private bathroom stocked with a hairdryer and free toiletries. The lush garden and sun terrace fill the grounds around the pool, and the bar and outdoor seating area cover evenings without needing to walk into the village proper. Agios Nikitas Beach is the two-minute walk, and Faneromenis Monastery sits nine kilometres out for those wanting an inland stop on a slower day away from the sand.

Our take
This suits families who want a pool and a proper beach both within a two-minute walk, without the higher rates of a full resort. The sea-view rooms as the standard offering, rather than an upgrade, make it a straightforward choice. Couples looking for a quieter, more private setting should consider Arenaria Leucadia instead, since Odyssey leans toward family-hotel amenities over an intimate stay.
- ✓Use the pool in the early morning if you want it quiet before the day's swimmers arrive from other properties nearby.
- ✓Book a balcony room over a terrace one if elevation matters to you; both get the sea view but from different heights.
- ✓Eat at least one evening at the on-site bar's outdoor seating rather than walking into the busier village lane.

Why guests love itHaving the sea view as the default rather than a costly upgrade made booking simple, and the two-minute walk to the beach meant the kids never complained about the distance. The pool's own sea-facing angle meant a lazy afternoon there felt just as good as another beach trip. We used the on-site bar for a couple of easy dinners when nobody wanted to walk further into the village.
