A Grecotel family-friendly resort! Over the years we had a chance to visit several resorts of the Greek Grecotel luxury hotel chain. Last summer we went to Grecotel Olympia Riviera Resort and more recently to LUX Me Daphnila Bay Dassia in Corfu. The resorts of Grecotel have never been disappointing. At the end of this summer, we wanted one more relaxing escape before school would start. One more old-fashioned beach holiday – somewhere to stay, relax and spend quality time together. It had to be close to our hometown Athens and fun for all of us. We found this at the new Grecotel Casa Marron.
Grecotel Casa Marron resort is located on a fertile plain in the North Peloponnese on the sandy beach of Lakopetra, exactly 2,5 hours away from Athens. For those who haven’t been there, the Peloponnese is one of Greece’s most unspoiled regions, renowned for its archaeological treasures such as ancient Olympia and its natural beauty. This peaceful area offers forests, stretched beaches, crystal clear waters, and a reliable Mediterranean climate.
To reach guaranteed family fun, we drove from Athens via the new Olympia highway to Kato Achaia. From there onward, we followed meandering roads passing through small villages. We saw roadside stalls selling pumpkins and watermelons and glimpses of the sea sparkling in the distance. With such a short travel time, the resort was ideal for our long weekend escape.
If you travel by plane, the nearest airport is Araxos Airport located at a distance of a mere 10 km. During the tourist season, Araxos Airport flies to many European destinations with scheduled and charter flights. Patras city and its international port with ferry boat arrivals are half an hour away.
