Crystal Palace Resort

Crystal Palace Resort details

Set between mountains and the sea and just a stone’s throw from Skala beach, the Crystal Palace Resort is geared up for peaceful escapes.

These new apartments are a good choice if you want to get away from it all. Sculpted into a hillside above the sea, they’re in a tranquil spot just ten minutes’ walk from the centre of Skala. A quiet sand-and-pebble beach lies just below, which can be reached along a country lane. What’s more, because the apartments are terraced up the hillside, they offer up grandstand views over the countryside and Ionian Sea.

There’s a swimming pool here, surrounded by terraces and lawns which look out over the trees, mountains and Ionian Sea. Sunloungers and parasols edge the water, and there’s a stone-built bar where you can get meals and snacks during the day and evening.

In terms of the accommodation, the modern studios and maisonette-style apartments are grouped around flagstoned pathways and courtyards. They’re very spacious and come with balconies or terraces where you can sit outside and take in the views.
