Hotel Aiges Melathron

This hotel is very special. First of all was the kind and friendly reception we received. We were even able to check in two hours early. All the staff we met, from housekeepers to servers in the restaurant and the attendants at the pool were remarkable for their attention and professional service. Our room was simple but spacious and very comfortable. The restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. We ate three meals there because of that! 😹. I have to remark on the magnificent pool and its area. This gorgeous pool is in a lovely park-like ambience. And it is enormous with a special circular pool for small children right next to it. As soon as I arrived, I was approached by a staff member who fixed an umbrella for me, brought a towel and a jug of icy cold water. In fact, nowhere in this hotel do they use bottled water or plastic bottles! The only place I’ve seen in this two-week voyage. Why doesn’t the rest of Greece follow suit? Greek water is delish! So was the perfect mojito I ordered poolside. Ahhhh! I chose this hotel for its proximity to Vergina so that we could easily visit the fantastic Royal Tombs. I also wanted a pool. And we certainly ended up with a delightful stay in a very special hotel!

I wish people were prevented from smoking in outdoor seating areas. We had to move in the outside area of the restaurant because of this. Smoking is actually illegal in restaurants in Greece but I know a blind eye is turned on those who smoke in outdoor seating. Enforce the law, please! It’s not just here but everywhere.

Good location, nice clean room
