Niriedes Hotel
Sea-view rooms above Platis Gialos, pool and hydromassage included
About this hotel
Niriedes sits on the slope above Platis Gialos bay, close enough to the sand that the 100-metre walk down barely counts, but high enough that every room keeps its sea view rather than losing it to the building next door. The pool has a hydromassage corner for the afternoons when the beach feels like too much effort, and the small art gallery is an unexpected touch for an aparthotel this size. Breakfast moves onto a sea-view terrace, which is where the Cycladic-meets-contemporary rooms make the most sense: whitewash and clean lines by day, DVD player and kitchenette for the evenings you skip the tavernas. The gym and indoor playground cover both ends of a family group without either feeling like an afterthought.
- Sea-view rooms
- Outdoor pool with hydromassage
- Small art gallery
- Indoor playground
Our take
Niriedes Hotel combines a four-star setting above the bay of Platis Gialos with practical extras: sea-view rooms, an outdoor pool with a hydromassage corner, a gym, an indoor playground and a small art gallery, all 100 metres from the beach. I would book it for families or couples who want pool days and beach days within a short walk.
- ✓Ask for a top-floor room, the sea view improves noticeably with height
- ✓Use the hydromassage corner before lunch, it empties out once the pool crowd arrives
- ✓Book the sea-view terrace breakfast slot early if travelling with young children
Why we love it
- Hydromassage corner in the outdoor pool

- Indoor playground for younger guests on hot afternoons
Why guests love itNiriedes Hotel stands above the bay of Platis Gialos, 100 metres from the beach, and it is one of the few places here with an indoor playground, useful on a windy afternoon. The outdoor pool has a hydromassage corner, there is a gym for parents, and the sea-view rooms mix Cycladic whitewash with contemporary furniture. A small art gallery adds a quiet touch. I would choose it for families who want a pool and a short walk to the sand.
