Ostria
Direct beach access three minutes from Piperi Beach
About this hotel
Ostria's whole case rests on proximity: the property sits directly on the beachfront, with the sun terrace and garden opening almost onto the sand rather than facing it from across a road. Apartments carry sea, garden or city views depending on the unit, each with a private bathroom, kitchenette and balcony for the kind of stay where cooking a simple lunch beats a restaurant bill every day. Concierge service and daily housekeeping keep it feeling staffed despite the self-catering setup, useful for families who want help booking excursions without giving up the flexibility of an apartment. Piperi Beach is a three-minute walk, the Venetian Harbour and Castle under a kilometre, putting both the sand and Naousa's old fishing port within easy reach on foot.
- Beachfront location
- Sea-view apartments
- Concierge service
- Free on-site parking
Our take
Best suited to families or couples who want beachfront access without sacrificing self-catering flexibility, since the kitchenette and balcony do real work here. The concierge desk is a genuine convenience for arranging car hire or day trips. Anyone wanting a full-service hotel restaurant on site should note this stays apartment-style, with dining handled through the snack bar rather than a formal kitchen.
- ✓Ask for a sea-view unit at booking, the garden and city-view rooms cost less but face away from the water.
- ✓Walk the three minutes to Piperi Beach early, the sand fills up by mid-morning in high season.
- ✓Use the concierge desk to book car hire ahead of arrival rather than sorting it once you land.

Why guests love itThe three-minute walk to Piperi Beach meant we were in the water most mornings before the sand got crowded, towels drying on the balcony rail by lunchtime. Having a kitchenette saved real money on a week-long stay, with the concierge desk sorting a rental car for the day trip to the Venetian harbour and back. Garden-view rooms were cheaper but we were glad to have paid extra for the sea-facing balcony, which is where breakfast happened most days.
