We loved our stay at Athena Ares! The location was absolutely perfect — just a quick walk across the street to the beach. The property was beautifully furnished, the pool area was relaxing, and the outdoor cooking space and TV setup made it easy to enjoy the games. We also loved that it’s pet-friendly, which made the trip even better for our pups! The owner was super communicative and made everything smooth from start to finish. We can’t wait to come back!

Love the fact that this was located so close to the beach. When they say “five minute walking distance” that’s an accurate description. Makes it easy to go back and grab a bite for lunch and come out in the evening after dinner.
