The Rigas hotel Afytos is a cliff top boutique hotel just a short walk to the town centre. The hotel itself comprises a couple of accommodation blocks that hug the cliff line, a pool deck, spa, restaurant and bar, all with modern styling and good free WiFi throughout. Hotel staff are really helpful and friendly but we did have a few concerns with the set-up. The rooms are stylish, but noisy. You can literally hear every conversation and door close along the corridor when laying in bed which did result in being woken up before I planned. The bar and restaurant has an amazing view and offers breakfast and dinner for those included, or paid for brunch, snacks and meals. When purchasing we found the fare similar to pretty much every restaurant in Afytos, but overpriced by 1/3. (Caesar salad €14, everywhere else in town €9, chicken club sandwich €14 Vs €9, bottle of wine €28 Vs €18, glass of wine €7 Vs €4). This was a shame as the elevated pricing put us off using this more. I note the hotel has replied to other reviews that have commented on pricing by being comparable to Thessaloniki. This is a city over an hour away so a little misleading. The pool deck is a really good concept, but it's a bit shabby with ripped beds & umbrellas, the latter is not too much of a problem as the deck is mostly in shade come the afternoon. If you want a refreshing dip in the pool, they'll certainly take your breath away as the pools are unheated (very, very, very cold). Being close to the the town is a big plus point, stepping out for lunch or a drink is a two minute walk. We stayed a week, but given the points above I feel the hotel would be more suited to a mini break. Overall, location, friendliness and style - top notch. Noise and bar/restaurant pricing - troublesome.
