Kappa Resort

We were 24 guests at Kappa Resort, Bungalow Villa Iliachtis IV (Room 804) from 11-20.9. Location: on the Kassandra peninsula (Chalkidiki) at the southern tip with a view to the south-east towards peninsula Sithonia. This part of the peninsula from Palliouri onwards is quite unspoilt and quiet. Individual bungalow complexes on the hillside with views similar to the Kappa Resort Hotel. However, there is already a lot of construction going on. Pebbly, sometimes sandy beach, then quickly large round pebbles in the water, seagrass meadows but mostly well below standing height. Bathing shoes are highly recommended when entering. At our time of year, the sea was mostly calm and the water crystal clear. Nice to swim in. Of course, it always depends on the wind direction and strength. From the Kappa Resort (our bungalow) you have to walk about 250 m to a private stretch of beach with neat, cushioned loungers in two rows, currently estimated at about 25 loungers. Changing cabin and freshwater shower available. Toilet is signposted but there is none. I was informed at reception that toilet facilities are now prohibited directly on the beach. That's ok for us to keep the sea water quality at this high level, but then the sign would have to be removed, There is a Greek beach taverna right next to it, but we didn't use it, because the “backyard” was more than sloppy even with a tolerant attitude. About ten minutes walk along the beach to the north there is a very good tavern “Navagos” by Greek standards. Wonderful setting above the beach, fantastic view, very good cuisine, highly recommended, upmarket price level. Sunrise side, but still wonderful light and atmosphere at sunset on the other side of the peninsula. Our bungalow was a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom bungalow with a garden and a pool just for this bungalow. The infinity pool is cleaned every day and looks appetizing after the removal of algae growth (pushed by us) at the waterline. Size approx 420x900, no barrier for small children. The pool is unheated, which can be uncomfortable in the early and late season. On arrival on 11.9. it was still ok, but after just one week the pool water cooled down considerably. Shortened sunshine duration, cooling down. The small garden belonging to the bungalow (see photo) has an irrigation system for the lawn, but it has no effect, see photo. You have to understand this in view of the water shortage, but it looks unkempt. When we arrived, there were a few things in the bungalow that were not in order: 1.)The mosquito protection device in the children's room was torn from the rail, the net from the frame 2)The dishwasher is defective, instead, the bungalow cleaning staff washed the dishes during the daily bungalow cleaning. 3) In both (very small) shower rooms you inevitably cause a flood when showering, as the shower cubicle (upstairs) is not tight and in the shower on the ground floor the partitio

We stayed at Kappa resort for a fifth time and we’re once again very satisfied with our stay “. We stayed in Ekavi Villa this time which is an excellent modern luxury villa with large private pool overlooking the amazing Mediterranean Sea. I must say that the villa was extremely well done with high quality materials, spacious rooms (3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, lounge kitchen, private pool and even though we had a washing machine they have a laundry service. The views are amazing and the a la carte menu is something to savour especially try the Tune Sashimi if you like fish or the Chocolate Sphere which was just dreamy. The breakfast is one of the best we have experienced with a wide array of Greek organic, continental and free range products. Our favourite was the natural honeycomb stand which is just fantastic and apparently very therapeutic. Ioanna the restaurant manager made our stay very hospitable and the hotel manger Nikos was very friendly and always went the extra yard. Generally the staff are very friendly and professional. We enjoyed our stay (2 adults and two teens children) and look forward to staying at Kappa Resort again soon.
