Hotel Akti
Beachfront sun terrace and a hot tub over the pebbles
About this hotel
Sea-facing balconies and a beachfront sun terrace give this small hotel two places to watch the same water, and at two-star prices that is the reason to book. The hot tub sits with the outdoor seating area, which extends the day past swimming, and the bar keeps the terrace occupied into the evening. Rooms are air conditioned with private bathrooms and balconies, and family rooms are available alongside an airport shuttle for arrivals from Athens. Cycling and casino gaming are among the activities the hotel points guests towards. Loutraki Beach is metres away, Loutraki Thermal Spa a short walk inland, and the Corinth Canal six kilometres south. Pets are welcome.
- Direct beachfront access
- Sun terrace with hot tub

- Airport shuttle available
Our take
A small beachfront address that punches above its rating, with an 8.8 score across 71 reviews and couples rating the location 9.3. The hot tub and terrace over the pebbles make it feel more generous than two stars suggests. Travellers wanting a pool, a restaurant or a lift should look at the three-star hotels further along the front, since this is a compact building focused on the water.
- ✓Book a sea-view balcony rather than a standard room, as the difference here is the whole experience.
- ✓Use the hot tub after the afternoon swim, when the terrace empties and the light softens over the gulf.
- ✓Arrange the airport shuttle in advance if you are arriving late from Athens without a car.
