Hotel Niras
A poolside bar overlooking the Ionian, near the Meganisi boats
About this hotel
The pool at Hotel Niras looks straight out over the Ionian Sea, backed by a poolside bar serving fresh juices and cocktails to sun loungers and umbrellas set around the water. Rooms choose between sea or pool views, decorated in light colours with a private balcony, air conditioning and a marble bathroom in every unit. A buffet breakfast starts the day before the short walk to the beach, 250 metres away, or the kilometre into central Nydri for the harbour and its restaurants. Regular boats to the neighbouring island of Meganisi depart from Nydri Port nearby, making Hotel Niras a workable base for a day trip without a long transfer first.

Our take
This suits travellers who want a proper pool with a sea view alongside easy access to Nydri's Meganisi ferry boats, at a slightly quieter remove from the busiest waterfront strip. The marble bathrooms are a nice step up in finish for the price point. Guests wanting to be directly on the beach itself should look at Smile Inn or Palm Trees Hotel instead, both closer to the sand.
- ✓Book a sea-view room over the pool-facing option if the Ionian outlook matters more than proximity to the water itself.
- ✓Check the Meganisi boat schedule at Nydri Port the evening before a day trip, since departures run on a set timetable.
- ✓Use the poolside bar for a sunset drink before walking the kilometre into central Nydri for dinner.
