Hotel location
If you land at Araxos International Airport (Patra's air harbor), the transfer to the hotel takes a quarter of an hour. Indeed, from the terminal to the doorstep of the hotel is only nine and a half kilometers. But if Athens is the landing point, then much more time will be spent on the road.

From the air harbor of the capital of Greece - 250 km, from the seaport of Patras - 35 kilometers. Despite the fact that beautiful limestone mountains approach very close to the coast, the terrain is flat and people with sore feet should not be afraid of endless stairs, descents and ascents. The resort's sandy beach is a stone's throw from the hotel. The warm Ionian Sea, the crystal mountain air, filled with the smell of pines and flowers, and the hospitality of the staff immediately create an atmosphere of cloudless relaxation.

Kalogria Beach Hotel 4: reviews
All tourists were pleased with their stay at the hotel. The only thing that summer guests did not like was the abundance of mosquitoes. There are many of them, especially in June-July. So you need to stock up on a lot of spray or insect cream. Reviews praised the food at the hotel. It is very diverse, the restaurant offers many delicious Greek dishes. The responses are very different about the numbers. Those tourists who got into the building complained about old furniture and household appliances. But the guests of the bungalow were satisfied with their place of residence. The contingent of guests at the hotel is multinational. There are Russians, but they do not make up the majority.
