Our take
Aiges Melathron stands on Veria's new ring road, about 1.5 km from the town centre and some 12 to 13 km from the royal tombs of Vergina, and holds an 8.5 from 235 reviews. It is built for travellers with a car: free parking, a seasonal outdoor pool with a separate children's pool, a fitness centre, a Finnish sauna that carries a supplement, a restaurant and a games room. The downside is the location, as several guests note that the centre is a taxi ride rather than a stroll. I would book it for a family touring Macedonia by car; for evenings in Barbouta and the old lanes, a central hotel suits better.
- ✓Drive the 12 to 13 km to Vergina in the morning: the Museum of the Royal Tombs of Aigai is underground, inside the great burial mound, and pairs well with an afternoon at the pool.
- ✓The old Barbouta quarter is about 1.9 km away; take a taxi in and walk back through the centre if you want to see the town at dusk.
- ✓The sauna is charged separately, so ask for it at check-in rather than assuming it is included with the room.
- ✓The outdoor pool is seasonal: outside summer, the hotel is a practical base rather than a place for long afternoons.

Why guests love itAiges Melathron's family assets are practical ones: a seasonal outdoor pool with its own children's pool, a games room and free parking. A morning at the royal tombs of Vergina, about 13 km away, can then end with an afternoon in the water. Rooms have balconies or terraces, and the restaurant saves a drive in the evening. The limit is distance from the centre, about 1.5 km on a ring road, which is not a walk I would do with small children at night. Outside the pool season, the family appeal drops.
