Ponti Beach Hotel
A short walk from Vasiliki's windsurf beach, with its own pool
About this hotel
The room you get here decides the view: sea, mountain or garden, all from a private balcony a short walk from the beach the local windsurf crowd treats as home ground. The outdoor pool gives a calmer alternative to the bay once the afternoon wind builds, and the on-site restaurant serves Mediterranean dishes on a terrace that looks out over the sea, useful on evenings when walking further into the village feels unnecessary. Rooms are straightforward, with a flat-screen TV, air conditioning and a mini fridge, and the bar covers coffee and cocktails through the day. Porto Katsiki Beach is a thirty-minute drive for a change of coastline, and free private parking sits on site for the trip.

Our take
This works well for travellers who want to be close to the windsurf beach without paying for a direct beachfront room, and the on-site restaurant makes it easy to skip a walk into the village on a tired evening. The pool becomes the better swim option once the afternoon wind turns the bay choppy. Anyone wanting to walk out of their room straight onto the sand should look at Porto Fico instead.
- ✓Request a sea-view room specifically; the mountain and garden options cost less but lose the bay view entirely.
- ✓Eat at the on-site restaurant at least once during the windier evenings, when the terrace makes more sense than a walk into the village.
- ✓Book the thirty-minute Porto Katsiki drive for a morning when the bay itself is too windy for swimming.
