Area information
By taking a short stroll you can reach: a range of pubs, which at night are crowded by young people; the characteristic ‘a piscaria’ fish market; and the Monday Fair (‘a fera ‘o luni’), so-called because, in the past, it was opened only on Mondays. The fair is now open every day except Sunday. At ‘a fera ‘o luni’ you can re-live the old times of buying goods by haggling in the midst of the sellers’ shouting. Also near the hotel is the famous Bellini Park, where you can admire the secular trees and typical Mediterranean gardens.
