Akrolithi Boutique Hotel, a traditional-meets-contemporary retreat at the edge of the sky and sea
“The edge of the rock” is the meaning behind the name Akrolithi, the perfect reflection of the hotel’s dreamy location on top of a hill overlooking the endless blue, creating a sense of being on the edge of heaven and sea.
